Obituary.

By L. D. Santee

VAN NOSTRAND.—Died near Sedan, Chetauque Co., Kansas, Jonathan Van Nostrand, in the fifty-third year of his age. He never heard an Advent sermon until our tent was pitched in this place, but he had received some of our tracts, and through reading became a Sabbath-keeper about four months ago. His disease was congestion of the bowels, and his sickness lasted only one week. The first evening of our meeting, he came to us and grasping our hand said, with tears in his eyes, "I can't tell you how earnestly I have hoped and prayed that the Lord would send us some Adventist preaching." He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss. Funeral services by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:55. L. D. SANTEE.
