Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died, at Holmes Hole, Mass., Aug. 26, 1870, widow Sarah Dexter, aged 85 years, 7 months, and 13 days. Sr. D. was interested in the advent cause in 1842. She embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, July, 1846, and has been devoted to the cause of present truth from that time to the present. She testified previous to her death, that her peace was made with God, and that she was going to sleep in Jesus. The community in which she lived has lost a friend and Christian counsellor. We miss her now, but hope to meet in the better land. J. H. LAMBERT.
Died, in Portland, Me., July 31, 1870, of cholera morbus, Bradbury Furguson, aged 68 years. J. B. GOODRICH.
Died, in Dixon, Mo., Sept. 16, 1870, Mary, wife of William McCord, aged 22. Her sufferings, which at times were severe, were borne with patience. She fell asleep in the hope that she would be glorified at the coming of Jesus. May the Lord pour consolation into the heart of her bereaved companion, and enable him with us so to live that we may be caught up together with her to meet the Lord in the air, and rest an unbroken family in the haven of rest and peace. L. D. SANTEE.
Died, in Stanton, Mich., Aug. 27, 1870, Buna Ette, infant daughter of Levi and Nella Edson. As the parents mourn for their loved one, may they strive to live a life here which will enable them to live with her in that blest world where suffering and death never come. R. M. PHILO.
Died, in North Liberty, Ind., Sept. 3, 1870, seemingly more from old age than any apparent disease, Daniel Carpenter, aged 85 years. For over half a century Bro. Carpenter observed the Sabbath of the Lord, having received light on the subject from reading when about 28 years of age. He then united with the Seventh-day Baptists, with whom he continued his connection till some fifteen years since, when he embraced the views of prophecy taught by Seventh-day Adventists. His course was that of an upright, consistent Christian, and he came down to his grave well ripened for the heavenly garner. The funeral was held at the S. D. Adventist house of worship in North Liberty, Sept. 4. Remarks by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. U. SMITH.
