Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
FELL asleep in Jesus, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Aug. 13, of bronchial consumption, our beloved father, Cortes F. Overton, aged 72 years. He has been a follower of Jesus for over fifty years, and for several years has observed the Sabbath of the Lord as brought to light in the third angel's message. He delighted in the law of the Lord, after the inward man. His strict integrity, and Christian character, secured the confidence of all who knew him. He was confined to the bed for over three months, and bore his sickness with great resignation and Christian patience. Not a murmur escaped his lips, but the language of his heart was, “Thy will, O God, be done.” He leaves an aged companion, and six children to mourn their great loss; but ’twill be but a little longer, and the Lifegiver will come and raise him to immortality, and eternal life. “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.” Sermon by Baptist minister, from Rev. xiv, 13. L. E. MILLER.
The above notice was mislaid, and has but just been found. This will account for its delay, which we regret.

P. had a lively interest in the doctrine of the soon coming of Christ. About a year ago, he and his companion who now survives him, moved to Enosburgh, where they soon commenced to attend S. D. Adventist meetings, and embraced the Sabbath. We trust he sleeps in Jesus. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Rev. xxi, 4. “And there shall be no more death.” A. C. BOURDEAU.
