Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Athens, Me., May 2, 1868, of consumption, Sr. Abbie E. Horn, aged 21 years. During the past two years, Sr. Horn has suffered much from poor health, and has therefore been mostly deprived of the privilege of meeting with the brethren and sisters at their place of worship. She gave her heart to the Lord in the early part of her disease. Since then, she embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, and observed it for several months prior to her death.
She fell asleep expecting soon to wake in everlasting life. She leaves a father, mother, and sister to mourn her loss. May the Lord comfort their hearts with the hope of meeting in that world where loved ones will not sicken and die.
“We shall meet with many a loved one, That was torn from our embrace; We shall listen to their voices, And behold them face to face.”
Discourse by the writer, from John vi, 40.
W. H. BLAISDELL.
DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., of acute spinal disease, May 23, 1868, Sr. Sarah, wife of Bro. N. N. Lunt, aged 34 years and 9 months. Sr. L. embraced religion at an early age, being baptized in her tenth year. She had an experience in the great Advent movement of 1844, and was among the first in the State of Maine to commence the observance of the Sabbath, as brought to view by the fulfillment of prophecy. The blessed hope sustained her to the last; and in her closing hours the thought that she was to sleep in Jesus afforded her exceeding consolation. The church deeply feel their affliction in the loss of a beloved member, and extend their warmest sympathy to the family circle so sorely stricken: the widowed mother who here beholds the seventh of her children borne to the grave, the brothers and sisters, the bereaved husband, and the five dear children thus early deprived of the counsel and care of a kind and judicious mother. Our only consolation is the hope of the life to come,—ED.
