Tsingtao, Aug. 14.
It is with great regret that we have to record the death of the Rev. W. H. Sears, the much-beloved pastor of Pingtu. He had been suffering from heart trouble for some time, but all hoped that he would recover. He died at the residence of his son, Mr. G. J. Sears, of Messrs. Cornabé, Eckford Ca., at the age of 57. His place will be hard to fill.
