LAMBERTON.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Marshfield, Vt., Feb. 28, 1905, my dear great aunt, Mrs. Cyrena Lamberton, aged 82 years and 11 days. She became a devoted Christian in early life, and only a plain “Thus saith the Lord” was needed to convince her of the Sabbath and kindred truths, which she gladly accepted under the labors of the late Elder A. S. Hutchins and Elder D. T. Bourdeau, about the year 1861. For about seventeen years she stood alone for the truth, then Elder Hutchins and his colaborers held meetings in both Cabot and Marshfield, and her heart was made glad as a goodly number then joined her in keeping all the commandments of God. Ever after she became a Seventh-day Adventist, she had the REVIEW AND HERALD, and always rejoiced at the progress of the work, as it brought the Lord’s coming so much nearer. She used to long to live to see that day, but after the accident three years ago which made her a cripple, she often expressed a wish to rest in the grave for a little season. Through a life of more than ordinary trials and afflictions, she kept her trust in God, and stood firmly for the truth, and we are comforted with the hope that she will have a part in the resurrection of the just. Rev. Mr. Buck (Methodist) spoke words of comfort at the funeral from Isa. 3:10. ALMA M. CASE.
