Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Ashippun, Dodge Co., Wis., March 3, 1869, our beloved sister, Clarissa K., wife of J. B. Rogers, in the 61st year of her age. Her disease was bilious intermittent fever, which terminated in paralysis. Sr. R. was truly one of the lonely ones, residing over forty miles from the church of which she was a member. In the early part of her sickness she felt impressed that she should not recover, and expressed perfect reconciliation to the will of the Lord. The deceased was a natural sister of Eld. R. F. Cottrell. Sermon by Eld. Hazeltine (Methodist), from Luke iv, 18, “He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted.”

“A home in Heaven! when our friends are fled To the cheerless gloom of the mouldering dead, We wait in hope on the promise given; We will meet again in our home in Heaven.”

L. M. GATES.

DIED, in Rubicon, Dodge Co., Wis., Jan. 20, 1869, Harry E., son of Thomas and M. J. Armitage, aged 1 year, 4 months, and 1 day. “Is it well with the child? Is it well?”

“By Thy hands the boon was given, Thou hast taken but thine own; Lord of earth, and God of Heaven, Evermore thy will be done.”

L. M. GATES.

DIED, in South Lancaster, Mass., Feb. 20, 1869, of the measles, Mabel Florence, youngest daughter of H. A. and A. M. Weston, aged 3 years and 6 months. She was a delicate and lovely child. Was sick one week. The parents do not murmur, but recognize the hand of God in this. They look to the resurrection with hope.

Sermon by the writer, from Jer. xxxi, 15–17.

D. M. CANRIGHT.

DIED, in Memphis, Mich., March 20, 1869, of consumption, Sr. S. J. Wakeling, aged 21 years, only child of John and Amy Wakeling.

Sr. Wakeling was a firm and consistent believer in the third angel’s message. The afflicted friends mourn not as those who have no hope. A crowded audience was addressed on the funeral occasion by Eld. Makie, from Job xiv, 10, showing conclusively the state of man in death, and the only hope of life through a resurrection from the dead.
