Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Memphis, Mich., April 25, 1868, of inflammation of the lungs, Bro. A. M. Shepard, aged 43 years.
Bro. Shepard leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. He was a consistent believer in the third angel's message. He loved the present truth in all its parts, and died in full hope of eternal life when the Life-giver shall come.
Discourse by Bro. R. J. Lawrence.
H. S. GURNEY.
DIED, in Elmore, Vt., April 27, 1868, of consumption, Sarah A., wife of Bro. Henry Olmsted, in the 40th year of her age.
For some three or four years she has been interested in the present truth. Her long and painful sickness was characterized in an eminent degree by patience, resignation, and heavenly conversation. Two children have lost a kind, intelligent, and loving mother. Her companion mourns in deep affliction. The occasion was improved by a discourse founded on Col. iii, 4. She sleeps in Jesus and is blest.
ALBERT STONE.
DIED, in Anamosa City, Jones Co., Iowa, May 7, 1868, of heart disease, Sister Aliena R. Perkins, in the 64th year of her age.
This dear sister was deaf and mute, yet she heard the sweet voice of truth; for many years had been a consistent Christian, and member of the Congregational church at Galena, Ill., under the Rev. Mr. Kent, pastor. At the time that Bro. Cornell gave his first course of lectures at Anamosa, she embraced the present truth. She had been a great sufferer for over a year, from an accident (falling on an icy pavement), which injured one of her limbs, from which she never recovered. She died suddenly, her husband not even knowing of her death for some hours after. She went to bed as usual, to wake no more till the Archangel's trump shall wake the sleeping saints.
Discourse from 1 Thess. iv, 13.
JESSE DORCAS.
DIED, in Centerville, Mich., March 28, 1868, the only son of W. and M. Delling, aged 11 months, 16 days. Bro. and Sr. Delling deeply mourn their loss, but not without hope, for they expect that he will come again from the land of the enemy.
