Obituary.

DIED, in Fresno, May 2, 1882, of pneumonia, William Hutchings, aged 47 years, 4 months, and 20 days.
The deceased embraced the truth of the Third Angel's Message when it was first preached in Fairview, Fresno County. Some time since his faith was shaken by his reading the writings of Col. Ingersol, and he ceased to carry out his promises of a Christian life. In his last sickness he made frequent remarks which showed that infidel sentiments did not give satisfaction in the last great trial. Whether accepted or not, the Judge alone can determine, but his case presents a warning to not trifle with a "blessed hope" when no other hope is possibly afforded.
