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

DIED, of dysentery, in Colebrook, Ashtabula Co., O., Sept. 24, Bro. Jesse Gleason, in the 68th year of his age.

Bro. Gleason was converted to God four years ago last spring, and embraced the Bible Sabbath immediately, having obtained light previously on that subject. From this time he lived a faithful Christian life, his place always being filled in the house of prayer on the Sabbath, unless sickness prevented. His testimonies were given with much feeling and godly sincerity. Among his last words, when asked if he had any message to his absent children, were, “Tell them to prepare to meet the Saviour in Heaven, for I shall be there.”

DIED, in Randolph, Vt., Nov. 3, 1867, of consumption, Ellen F. Camp, daughter of Israel and Irena G. Camp, aged 15 years and about 8 months. Funeral discourse by Bro. D. T. Evans, from, “Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.”

She lived beloved by all who knew her, and has left a father and mother, and nine brothers and sisters to mourn her loss. But we sorrow not as those who have no hope. She was mild and patient through her severe sufferings. She rejoiced in view of a speedy release, and of resting in the grave till the morning of the resurrection.

“Asleep in Jesus, oh, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; In holy confidence to rest, In hope of being ever blest.”
