sympathy. - -C. T. Springs, Ceres, Calif.

1927, thus becoming a member of the Church of
Christ.

-Paul 0. Nichols.
Koller-John Wm. Koller was born in Indiana,
January 30, 1890. In 1910, he was united in ma-
trimony to Gracie E. Evans, and he is’ survived
.by his widow and four children-as follows: Elmer,
Littlefield, Texas ; Walter, Hastings, Okla. ; Bill,
Byng, Okla.; and Irene, Sulphur, Okla., their
home; also his father, two brothers, one sister,
and two grand children; together with a host of
friends and brethren.
Brother Koller was a true and faithful Chris-
tian, and will be greatly missed in the Sulphur
church. He was held in high esteem by all who
knew him. This was evidenced by the large crowd
that gathered at Sulphur to pay their last respects
to a true friend and brother. May God’s bless-
ings and mercy attend those who are left behind to-
mourn his loss. The writer spoke words of com-
fort to the bereaved.

CRUCIFIED THE FLESH ‘
“And they that are Christ‘s have crucified the
flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live
