Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., May 25, 1869, of whooping cough, Florence E., daughter of Bro. W. A., and Sr. C. Towle, aged 13 months and 13 days. CHAS. STRATTON.

DIED, in the town of Elmira, N. Y., April 16, 1869, of scarlet fever, Phremon, second son of Chauncey N., and Clarissa C. Robinson, aged two years, six months, and four days. POLLY ROBINSON.

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Fayston, Vt., May 14, 1869, of liver complaint and indigestion, my dear companion, Lincoln B. Lockwood, aged 51 years, 8 months, and 5 days. He was confined to his bed seven weeks, but bore his sufferings with patience and resignation. In his last hours he was resigned to sleep awhile in the grave; yet coming to this point, he felt his way step by step down to the valley of death, with trembling lest he might not be fully ready for the waking, in the morning of the resurrection of the just.

He embraced the advent faith, some 26 years ago. He has been an observer of the fourth commandment some 16 years. I am left in this world of sin and sorrow, with three small children, but my trust is in the God of Israel. S. A. E. LOCKWOOD.

DIED, at Pleasant Grove, Minn., April 9, 1869, of quick consumption, Sr. Sarah Jane Bartholomew, in the thirty-first year of her age. Although her sufferings were very intense for many weeks, she manifested great patience and resignation. Especially in the latter part of her sickness, it seemed that "The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Truly the righteous have hope in their death. STEPHEN PIERCE.

DIED at Pleasant Grove, Minn., May 2, 1869, of a fever, Bro. Barton Crandall, aged sixty-five years.

This makes five individuals who have passed from the ranks of the little scattered Pleasant Grove church within a little more than a year: Two sisters in the prime of life, one youthful sister, and two brethren more advanced in life. In frequent succession we have been called to mourn the loss of these loved ones; and were it not the case that those are blessed who die in the Lord in this message, we should marvel at our frequent bereavements. STEPHEN PIERCE.
