By Dudley Marvin Canright; E. A. Sage; Mary S. Foster; C. S. Brockway

Died, in Portland, Me., Sept. 10, of diphtheria and dropsy, Walter Irving, son of S. B., and Emma Gowell, aged 6 years, 1 month and 2 days. Little Walter was sick six weeks. I was with him some of the time, and he manifested a very sweet, patient spirit. Toward the last he seemed to realize that he must die, and wished the Bible read to him often. We believe that he sleeps in Jesus, safe from the perils of this world. His parents mourn his death, but not as those without hope. Sermon by the writer from 1 Thess. iv, 18. D. M. CANRIGHT.
Died, in Rubicon, Dodge Co., Wis., of lung fever, Aug. 28, 1866, Mrs. E. A. Sage, aged 34 years. She embraced the truth under the labors of Bro. J. Goodenough, and lived a Christian till death. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her loss. We are striving to meet her at the first resurrection. E. A. SAGE.
Died, in Whitehall, Washington Co., N. Y., June 17, 1866, of dropsical consumption, Miss Ruth Ranney, my aunt, aged 76 years. She was a devoted follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. Some time in 1840 she embraced the first angel’s message, and joined the church at Low Hampton, N. Y., where she heard the truth from the mouth of our beloved Wm. Miller. She loved the doctrine of the near coming of our Lord. As death drew near she welcomed it with joy, repeating, “Rock of ages cleft for me.” Then commending herself to her heavenly Father, she fell asleep, to rest till the bright morning of the resurrection. MARY S. FOSTER.
Died, Dec. 29, 1865, of consumption, my husband, Benj. T. Brockway. He died in the triumph of faith. Also, my son, G. F. Brockway died, Aug. 14, 1866, of consumption, aged 17 years. He was a reader of the Review and Instructor, from earliest childhood; but the truths they advocate were not received by him until about four months before his death, when the light dawned upon him, and he became a firm believer in the faith. He said he had but one desire to live and that was to honor and glorify God. He believed his sleep would be very short; for the Life-giver would soon come, and he would have a part in the first resurrection. With this belief we laid him in the tomb. C. S. BROCKWAY.
