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

Our dear mother, died in the Lord, in Rouses Point, N. Y., at the residence of Bro. D. T. Taylor, May 10, 1870, aged 86 years, 3 months, and 2 days. Though a great sufferer for months, during the last of her sickness, she murmured not nor complained. The truth, the blessed hope, sustained her till the last. In death she looked calm and peaceful as one sleeping sweetly after the day of toil had ended. C. O. Taylor.

Fell asleep in Jesus, in Rocky Brook, R. I., May 1, 1870, Bro. Abraham Johnson aged 55 years. He embraced the truth last winter, after hearing Bro. S. N. Haskell give a few lectures, and commenced to keep the Sabbath, his interest and love for the truth increasing until his death. Discourse by the writer, from Rev. 14: 13. P. C. Rodman.

Died, in West Monroe, Oswego Co., N. Y., March 6, 1870, of consumption, Sister Mary Carpenter, in the 77th year of her age. Sister C. engaged in the service of her Saviour in early life, and was for many years a member of the F. W. Baptist church. She, with her companion (who has since died), embraced the present truth about ten years since. She was a consistent Christian, beloved and respected by all who enjoyed her acquaintance. Her funeral was held in the Presbyterian meeting house. Discourse by the writer from Rev. 14: 13, to a large gathering of sympathizing friends. F. Wheeler.

Died, Friday, April 22, 1870, Charlie E. Moulton, son of Olive S. Knights, aged 18 years, 7 months, and 27 days. He lost his life by being caught on the feed lever in a saw-mill. His hurt was internal. He lived about nineteen hours. When cold and lifeless he was taken home three miles to his mother whom he had left the morning before in good health and cheerful spirits, little thinking that death was so nigh. Sixteen years and a half ago Wm. H. Moulton, the father of this boy, was brought home a corpse from Troy, N. Y., where he was killed almost instantly by an accident at the building of the Troy depot. The first intimation that the wife had of the accident was the reception of the corpse at her home, then in Stratton, Vt. Thus has my daughter been deprived of a husband and son in a sudden and unexpected manner by accidents while away from home. The funeral of the young man was well attended at the S. D. Adventist chapel, near Pike Falls, on the Sunday following his death. Sermon by Rev. C. P. Frenger from Eccl. 9: 12. I. N. Pike.

Died in Jay, Maine, April 1, 1870, of typhoid fever, Mary Alice, only daughter of Daniel and Mary Jane Briggs, aged about eight years. She was a dear child and we miss her much, but we feel that she rests safely in Jesus. She rests by the side of her dear mother of whom she was bereft nearly five years ago, and for whom she mourned as one of riper years. Daniel Briggs.

Died in McKean Co., Pa. January 8, 1870, of quick consumption, my dear sister Zilpha S. Robinson in her 22d year, after an illness of three months. She embraced the truth of the third angel's message in 1866, and lived a consistent Christian to the close of her life. She died in the bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. Sermon from Job 19: 25–27, by her request. Eliza Loop.
