GREENLEAF.—Sybil Greenleaf died in Milton Plantation, Maine, May 26, 1882, aged 83 years. Mother Greenleaf was a person loved and respected by all who knew her. For years she professed to be a Universalist; but about five years ago she began to read our tracts and at once accepted the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and was faithful in observing it to the last. She never murmured nor complained, but was ready and longed to be at rest. We believe she sleeps in Christ, and hope to meet her in the morning of the resurrection. A good discourse was preached by Eld. A. A. Abbott, First-day Adventist, from 2 Tim. 4 : 6-8. H. DAVIS.

DE FOREST.—Died in Oakland, Cal , June 26, of inflammation of the lungs, George Willard, son of, Brother and Sister De Forest, aged nine months. This is the second time that death has bereaved this family the present year. They have the sympathy of many friends, but, more cheering than this, they are comforted by the "blessed hope" of meeting the dear little one on the return of the "Life-giver." Words at the funeral from Ps. 103 : 13. EDITOR.
