By M. B. FERREE; E. G. RUST

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.

DIED, in Lexington, Mo., Dec. 31, 1866, my brother, John Ferree, aged 54 years 11 months and 19 days. The cause of his death was a broken leg. He was a devoted Christian, and strong in the present truth. He leaves a wife, brother, and sister to mourn their loss; but we have a hope that when Jesus, the Life-giver, comes, he will be raised to life and immortality. M. B. FERREE.

DIED, in Deerfield, Mecosta Co., Mich., on the 12th inst., of quick consumption, James W., eldest son of Lewis and Charlotte E. Swarthout, aged 11 years. We trust and pray that this heavy blow may draw the afflicted parents into a nearer relation with God and his people, that in the resurrection morn they may meet their loved one never more to part. Words of comfort, by the writer, from Jer. xxxi, 15–17. E. G. RUST.
