“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev 14:13.

FELL asleep in Jesus, Jan. 5, 1879, in Fairhaven, Mass., our dearly beloved mother, Mrs. Hannah B. Chase, widow of Daniel Chase, aged 83 years, 10 months, and 19 days. She embraced the religion of Christ in her youth, and the Advent doctrine under the labors of Father Miller in 1842. With her husband she embraced the Sabbath at the time Bro. Joseph Bates commenced its observance, and for more than twenty-five years she has been a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Dartmouth. She loved the third angel's message. Her life was that of a consistent Christian, and, beloved by all who knew her, she passed away with perfect trust in the Lord. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of one so dear to us, but we hope to meet her where there will be no more pain. Funeral address by Eld. Goodell (Methodist). MARY P. SHAW.

DIED of diphtheria, in Thetford, Genesee Co., Mich., Jan. 26, 1879, Ernest P., second son of E. Z. and C. G. Sanborn, aged 7 years. We hope to meet him when the Lifegiver shall come. Appropriate remarks were made by Eld. John Wilson, Disciple, from Job 14:14. E. Z. AND C. G. SANBORN.

DIED of consumption, in Victory, Vernon Co., Wis., Jan. 7, 1879, Carrie Nettie, daughter of James and Elizabeth Bailey, aged 13 years. No funeral services were held at the time; but when Eld.

DIED in Peterborough, N. H., Nov. 26, 1878, Bro. Abisha Tubbs, aged 87 years and 6 months. Bro. Tubbs embraced the truth in the spring of 1863, when it was presented in Peterborough by Bro. Bourdeau and Hutchins, and he has since been a consistent member of the S. D. A. church. He was feeble and could not go out to meetings, but very much enjoyed them at his own house, and highly prized the REVIEW. L. W. HASTINGS.
