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

DIED, in Davis Co., Iowa, June 22, 1867, after an illness of five months, sister Elizabeth Cowgill, wife of T. B. Cowgill, leaving the father with seven children to mourn their loss. A. A. FAIRFIELD.

DIED in Henry Co., Iowa, of bronchial affection and consumption, Moses A. Clark, in the 56th year of his age. Bro. Clark had been striving alone in his family and neighborhood for over seven years to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Though dead we believe he yet speaks to his family and neighbors in his faith and godly example. Words on the occasion from Rev. ii, 7, to a large and attentive audience of friends and neighbors. May the Lord incline their hearts to seek the overcomers' reward. A. A. FAIRFIELD.

DIED in Portland, Maine, July, 16th, 1867 of cholera infantum, Leon Irvin, infant son of Bro. and sister S. B. Cowell, aged 7 months and 15 days. He was sick only about two days. Thus a lovely flower is cut down by the enemy death, and is the third one that Bro. and sister G. have had torn from their fond embrace. But for the blessed hope of the resurrection so near at hand their grief would be inconsolable. Theirs is not a hopeless sorrow, for they have an abiding faith in the promise of the loving God, "they shall come again from the land of the enemy." Jer. xxxi, 16.

Words of consolation were spoken by the writer from Job. xiv, 14. J. L. PERSCOTT.

DIED in Clyde, Ohio, July 28, 1867, Maria Jane, oldest child of Bro. and sister Herald, aged 9 years lacking 7 days. A discourse was preached at the Universalist meeting-house in Clyde, on Sunday, Aug. 11, from 1 Cor. xv, 57. J. H. WAGGONER.
