OBITUARIES.

FURGUSON.—Died of cancer, at Windsor, Sonoma Co., Cal., February 9, 1881, Sister Nancy Furguson, aged 25 years, 11 months, and 19 days. She was a great sufferer during the latter part of her illness, but at last fell asleep to rest in the blessed hope of a resurrection to a life that is free from pain. She leaves a husband and three little boys to return to their lonely home at St. Clair, Nevada, at which place she was a member of the S. D. A. church. Funeral discourse by the writer from Ecclesiastes 9 :10-12.

CLARK.—Fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 23, 1881, our dearly beloved sister, Sarah Elisabeth Clark, aged 20 years, 6 months, and 22 days. She embraced the truth in 1875 under the preaching of Eld. Lane and wife, and united with the church at Bowling Green, Wood Co., Ohio. Lizzie possessed a gentle and loving disposition, and won the hearts of many by her Christian demeanor. In her last moments she seemed to trust fully in the promises of God, and to realize that she was only to sleep a little while, and then to enter a life where sickness and death should never come. Remarks by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13.
