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

THOMAS.—Died, at Little Genesee, Allegany Co., N. Y., March 11, 1879, Sister Sabrina Thomas, wife of Bro. Sylvester B. Thomas, in the forty-ninth year of her age. Her life for a number of years had been one of intense suffering from the effects of a cancer preying upon her system; but with the most remarkable patience she resigned herself to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and quietly fell asleep in Jesus. Funeral discourse by Eld. T. B. Brown, S. D. Baptist, from 1 Cor. 15:26; “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

“Go to thy rest in peace, And soft be thy repose; Thy toils o’er, thy troubles cease, From earthly cares, in sweet release, Thine eyelids gently close.” S. A. H. LINDSEY.

KALE.—Died in Peru, Iowa, April 29, 1879, Bro. Reuben A. Kale, aged 68 years. Father Kale had been a great sufferer for several years; but he was sustained by the Christian’s hope, and bore his sufferings patiently. He embraced present truth under the labors of Elds. Canright and Butler, at Winterset, Iowa, in the summer of 1870, and he afterward clung to the views then received with remarkable firmness and faith. Funeral discourse by the writer, on Sunday, June 1, to a large congregation of mourning relatives and sympathizing friends, from 1 Thess 4:13–18.

“He sleeps in Jesus—cease thy grief; Let this afford thee sweet relief, That freed from death’s triumphant reign, In Heaven he will live again.” W. D. McLAUGHLIN.
