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

DIED, in Mannsville, Jefferson Co. N. Y., Oct. 24, 1868, Bro. Benjamin Stillman, aged 67 years.

Bro. Stillman was born in Rhode Island, and was taught from his youth to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. For some years after removing to the State of New York, he lived in a backslidden state, and neglected the Sabbath. He embraced the Advent faith in 1844, and on hearing the third angel's message, about fifteen years since, he commenced the observance of the Sabbath in the message. Though feeble and diseased in body, and bowed down with age, he retained his senses clear to the last hour, and expressed his willingness to sleep till the Master comes.

Funeral at the house of Bro. Bailey, on the 26th, where a large company of friends and neighbors attentively listened to the words of exhortation and comfort given by the word of the Lord.
