In Memory of Brother Eugene Lincoln

We learned just recently of the death of longtime Sabbath Sentinel editor, Eugene Lincoln. A friend and tireless laborer on behalf of the Bible Sabbath Association, Eugene passed away on July 17, 2004.

Eugene Lincoln served The Bible Sabbath Association as member, board member for many years. President for several terms, and editor of TSS for over 25 years when the magazine was being published monthly.

During most of his years of service to the BSA he resided primarily in Silver Springs, MD. For the past few years he and his wife, Darlene, have been living in North Carolina in a retirement village near their son David.

Euguene Lincoln was editor of The Sabbath Sentinel from 1960 to 1985. Eugene was very active in his local SDA church. He believed in preaching the gospel through his writing.

Calvin Burrell, vice president of BSA, wrote this tribute to Eugene Lincoln in 1985 upon Lincoln's retirement as TSS editor:
"What we are saying about Eugene Lincoln on these pages would probably be the last thing he would want us to say, either on SENTINEL pages or anywhere else. But that fact is just further confirmation of the exemplary Christian character which has been developed in him by God's grace.

"We read in Titus 2:2 that older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. These are the qualities which abound in Brother Lincoln.

"Many SENTINEL readers have had the opportunity to know Brother Lincoln only by his words and picture. To you, he has kept this magazine alive and well—often on the strength of his personal efforts and literary contributions. In an association where diverse views prevail on many peripheral issues, his balanced and tolerant spirit has been good medicine for us all."
