Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, April 2, in Manchester, N. H., Nettie M., daughter of Dudley M. and Lucretia G. Canright, aged four months and four days. She lived ten hours after being taken sick. It was not possible to determine the nature of her sickness from her symptoms, and a post mortem examination revealed an internal malformation, showing that she did not die of disease; nor could any relief possibly have been afforded. Funeral services at the residence of Bro. Smith, on the 4th. Sermon from Heb. ii, 10. She will be taken to South Lancaster, Mass., for burial. J. H. WAGGONER.

DIED, in Athens, Maine, March 7, 1869, Bro. Paul Giles, aged 52 years next June. The subject of this notice experienced religion at the age of twenty and united with the Christian church, of which he remained a worthy member until three years ago, when he embraced the Advent faith and commenced to keep the Lord's Sabbath; for which he was rejected by the Christian church. When the Adventists organized a church he joined it, and remained faithful till death. He has left a wife, ten children, and an aged mother living in the family, who embraced the truth at the age of seventy-six. This dear family needs the prayers and sympathy of all God's people, especially the mother, who now has the burden of such a large family, the youngest a babe, resting upon her. May she have the grace of God to sustain her, and wisdom to discharge faithfully her duty in her family, that at last they may be gathered with the remnant church into his kingdom. Some remarks made by the writer from Rev. xiv, 13, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." CHAS. STRATTON.

DIED, in Monroe, Wis., April 9, 1869, of congestion of the lungs, Samuel C., eldest child of Edwin O. and Addie A. Hammond, aged two years, ten months, and two days. “A little life ended, We tried hard to save; A little bud blighted, That much promise gave. “Hide our pet treasure, Down out of our sight; Heart, keep thou silent, What God does is right. “Sleep on, precious darling, Till Christ comes to save, Then burst little coffin And ope little grave.” ADDIE A. HAMMOND.

DIED, April 10, 1869, in the village of Monroe, Green Co., Wis., sister Catherine Sharer, aged 33 years and 14 days. She leaves a husband, three small children, and a large circle of friends and relatives, who mourn her loss. The church, also, has lost one of its most efficient members; but we mourn not as those who have no hope; for if faithful we know that we shall meet her at the resurrection of the just. A few remarks were made on the occasion by the writer from 1 Thess. iv, 13. C. H. ROGERS.
