MELVIN.—Died at Quincy, Mich., Jan. 23, 1879, from injuries received by a fall, causing paralysis, Bro. Henry J. Melvin, in the fifty-seventh year of his age.

In his death his wife and children lose an affectionate husband and father, and the church an esteemed member. Previous to hearing the truth, he had been for a long time a member of the Baptist church. He accepted the truth from hearing Elders Van Horn and Kenyon in 1873, when the tent was in Quincy. There is reason to hope that he will soon hear the voice of the Son of God, calling him forth to everlasting life. J. H. THOMPSON.
