Obituary.

By Ellet Joseph Waggoner

DIED of quick consumption, at her home in Rocklin, Placer county, Cal., Apr. 21, 1881, sister M. J. Schuetze, aged 34 years, 3 months, and 9 days. Her health, which for a number of years was exceedingly poor, was much improved last fall; but a few months ago, by undue exposure, she contracted a cold from which she never recovered. Seven years ago she professed religion and united with the Baptist church in Sacramento. She read the Bible much and prayed for more light, and when the Sabbath truth was presented to her notice three years ago, she gladly accepted it and became an active missionary worker. Her whole Christian life was marked by devotion to the cause of God. A husband, three children, and a large circle of relatives and friends mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken from 2 Sam. 14: 14. E. J. WAGGONER.
