will hear His voice, and come forth. . . . O, let us, like
our beloved sister, 'follow the Lamb whithersoever He
goeth.' And when, in a little while, our labors are ended,
like the great apostle we may say, We have fought a good
fight, we have finished the course, we have kept the
faith." p. 461, Para. 2, [LS15].

Chapter LXI
The Funeral Services at Battle Creek
On Sabbath day, July 24, 1915, Mrs. White was laid to rest
by the side of her husband, the late Elder James White, in
the Oak Hill Cemetery, Battle Creek, Mich., there to await
the summons of the Lifegiver. p. 462, Para. 1, [LS15].
In the Tabernacle -- Many friends had come in from the
cities and towns near by, to unite with the members of the
Battle Creek church and with the citizens there in paying a
tribute of respect and love to the memory of the one who
had been called to rest. A considerable number, also, had
come in from adjoining states, including the presidents and
other executive officers of local conferences, of the Lake
Union Conference, of the North American Division
Conference, and of the General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists. p. 462, Para. 2, [LS15].
The setting for the funeral was fitting and impressive.
The service was held in the great Tabernacle, to the
building of which a whole people contributed nearly two
score of years before, and in which Mrs. White had many
times spoken the words of life. The floral tributes were
such as to form a garden like bower of beauty. The friends
at the Battle Creek Sanitarium had sent a wealth of potted
palms, ferns, lilies, and marguerites, almost covering the
rostrum, and extending to left and right up the gallery
stairs. Many floral pieces had been contributed, symbolical
of the occasion and of the hope beyond. The church at
Battle Creek presented a broken wheel, the Review and
Herald Publishing Association a broken column, the General
Conference and the North American vision Conference a cross
and a crown, and the Pacific Press Publishing Association
