DAVIDSON.—Died in Ukiah, Cal., August 27, 1889, of quick consumption, Sister Mabel Davidson, wife of Wm. Davidson. Sister Davidson was born in Nevada, May 29, 1867, from which State she moved with her parents, Brother Joseph and Sister Mary Nowdesha, to California, where she heard and accepted present truth. During her brief but severe illness, she was not heard to complain. She expressed a desire to attend the coming camp-meeting, and judging from her life in the past, we have strong hope of her having a part in the first resurrection. The sudden blow falls with crushing weight upon the husband and her father's family. Two little ones are rendered motherless. An exhortation to lead lives of devotion to the Master, with words of comfort to the bereaved, were spoken by Rev. P. B. Jackson, Methodist South. We hope to meet in the world where—

"No parted friends O'er mournful recollections have to weep, No bed of death enduring love attends, To watch the coming of the pulseless sleep."
