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

DIED, in Acushnet, Mass., Aug. 12, 1867, of cancer in the stomach, Bro. David Chase, aged about 70 years. Bro. Chase was in all three of the messages and remarked in his last sickness, with much emphasis, that he regretted no step that he had taken in present truth. His endeavors were earnest in trying to promote love and harmony in the church; and may it be said of him “that being dead he yet speaketh.” A short time before his death he said, “I have tried to fight the good fight of faith, and henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of life, and not for me only, but for all those that love his appearing.” May God bless his feeble companion in her affliction, and she be remembered by the church in their prayers.

DIED, of consumption, at her father’s residence in Windsor, Mich., Dec. 20, 1867, Andelena, youngest daughter of Joseph P. and Orle Lewis. She was 16 years of age the 25th of last July, the day on which she was taken sick. She bore her sickness with Christian fortitude, without a murmur or complaint, and before her death, obtained a clear hope in Christ. We bless the Lord for that hope. Words of consolation at the funeral by Bro. Smith.
