Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Hart, Oceana Co., Mich., Chloe Brooks; aged 71 years. I was invited, Jan. 14, to hold a Sabbath meeting in their house. Friends came in, and it was good to be there. Her sister living near Battle Creek, whom she had not seen for thirty-four years, being there on a visit, had presented them the Sabbath question; and this aged couple decided to obey.
The next Sabbath I met a different company at the same place; and the circumstances—how changed! Paralysis of the brain had smitten sister Brooks down in a moment. The Lord gave liberty in speaking from these words: “Prepare to meet thy God.” Amos 4: 12. P. STRONG.
DIED, in Lancaster, Mass., Jan. 30, 1871, Robert W. Macomber, aged 20 years. A funeral discourse was preached Sabbath afternoon, Feb. 4, from Rev. 14: 13. He died in hope. His last words were, “I am going; good bye.”
“Around his dying bed we come, And from his lips we hear him say, Good bye, good bye to every one, Prepare to meet me in that day.” S. N. HASKELL.
DIED, in Warren Co., Pa., Dec. 25, 1870, Orpha May, daughter of C. D. and Ira Bates, aged 7 months, and 12 days. IRA BATES.
