Obituary Notices.

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

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Sterling, Macomb Co., Mich., Nov. 15, 1868, of bilious colic, sister Susannah Haff, wife of the late Jacob Haff, aged 75 years. She sought and found the Saviour at an early age, and united with the Baptist church in Rensselaer Co., N. Y., her native place. Eight or nine years ago she received the Advent faith, and embraced the Sabbath, the health and dress reform. She loved the doctrine of the soon coming of the Saviour, and had often expressed a desire to live to witness the glorious scene. But in her last illness, which was very painful, she said, if it was God's will, she would rather sleep in Jesus a little while; “Blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep.” Elder Lawrence is the only Advent minister in this section of country; and as he was absent at the time, we had no sermon on the occasion. In behalf of the friends. C. L. TAFT.

DIED, in Otsego, Allegan Co., Mich., Feb. 23, of scrofulous consumption, little Hattie, infant daughter of William T., and Anna A. Holladay, aged two months.

Remarks on the occasion by A. H. Hilliard.
