Obituary Notices.

By A. S. HUTCHINS; T. M. STEWARD

Died, of dropsy in Patten, C. E., Oct. 10, 1866, Bro. Levi Wiswell, aged 65 years. A brother wrote me a few days after his death, that "he calmly fell asleep happy in the Lord, leaving a bright evidence of his acceptance with God. Three weeks ago to-day, he was at meeting at Bro. Stanhope's, joined us in prayer, and left his last public testimony in favor of the truth."

Bro. W. had kept the Sabbath of the Bible quite a number of years, and ever seemed ready to lend a helping hand for the spread of present truth, by sacrificing for its advancement.

Died, at Avon, Rock Co., Wis., Oct. 16, 1866, sister Lucy F. Chase, aged 62 years. Sister Chase embraced the third angel's message when it was first preached in Avon and died in the faith. She was a kind and faithful mother and neighbor and had been a widow for several years, and at last wore herself out with care and hard work. She leaves a family of children (mostly grown) to mourn their loss. She sleeps in Jesus, soon to wake to life, and immortality. Although sister C. did not live to see any of her children embrace the truth, yet I hope her prayers and tears and admonitions may now be heeded by them and they may prepare to meet her in the resurrection of the just. She was universally esteemed and will be much missed.

A few words of comfort were offered the surviving friends by the writer from Job xiv, 14: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come."
