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

DIED, in Dorchester, Mass., Jan. 15, 1868, Mary Nichols, my beloved wife, aged 68 years. Mrs. N. was taken Jan. 5, with paralysis, and the next day with erysipelas and much pain. She endured her sufferings with much patience and resignation to God's will. Soon after she was taken she requested me to pray with her and for her, that her sins might be forgiven. We have good evidence that the Lord heard and answered our supplications. She told me her peace was made with God, her sins were forgiven, and that she was willing and ready to depart. About half an hour before she died, she said, The Saviour is precious. She sleeps in Christ. Mrs. N. embraced the second advent message early in 1843, and had a deep-rooted faith in the time that the hour of God's judgment had come. She dissolved her connection with the Congregational church, and has never expressed a doubt respecting the Advent movement in 1843–4. In the following year she embraced the seventh-day Sabbath, and has ever since regarded this day as God's sacred day of rest. OTIS NICHOLS.

DIED, in Parma, N. Y., at the residence of Asahel Munson, Jan. 18, 1868, of dropsy on the brain, Ernest, only son of William Nichols, aged 1 year and 19 days. Farewell Ernest, lovely boy, We leave thee with the silent dead, 'Till Jesus' voice in tones of joy Shall call thee from thy lonely bed. F. E. MUNSON.
