Obituary.

LEVIE.—Died of consumption, at the home of Bro. W. T. Ross, near Forestville, Sonoma County, Cal., April 11, 1884, Sister Alice Levie, of Gilman, Ill., aged 24 years and 22 days. Sister Levie was brought up in the faith of S. D. Adventists, her parents, Brother and Sister Pemberton, of Onarga, Ill., having been members of the church for many years. She united with the church about nine years ago. On account of failing health, she came to California in November last, accompanied by her husband and two little girls. Although strangers in the community, they met with many sympathizing friends, who did all in their power to make Sister Levie comfortable. The Christian’s hope was her consolation to the last. Besides her husband and children, her father and mother, and five brothers and five sisters live to mourn her untimely death. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, who spoke briefly from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14. W. C. GRAINGER. (Review and Herald please copy.)

DILLEY.—Died at Norwalk, Los Angeles County, Cal., April 4, 1884, of spinal meningitis, Jimmy Dilley, aged 5 years and 6 months. The disease originated from a slight wound in the foot, and culminated in spasms and lockjaw. Jimmy was a good boy, and, in company with his mother and other members of the family, regularly attended the Sabbath-school. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Isa. 65:23, at the S. D. Adventist Church in Norwalk. A large audience of sympathizing friends and relatives was present. E. A. BRIGGS.
