A FAVORABLE OMEN.

By J. S. MILLER

In looking over back numbers of the Review with one of the brethren, recently, my attention was called to the fact, that in the volumes for 1863, (the oldest papers he had) the obituaries numbered from five to ten each week, while at the present time there are seldom more than three, and usually less than that number in any one paper. The query arose, whether this wonderful decrease of obituaries during a period that has been marked by large accessions to the body might not fairly be attributed to the health reform. It certainly speaks well for the movement we are taking in that direction. J. S. MILLER.
