Obituary Notices.

By William H. Littlejohn

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, of quick consumption, at Monterey, Allegan Co., Mich., October 19, John Russ, aged fifty-two years, ten months and nine days.
Brother Russ came into the present truth under the labors of Elder M. E. Cornell, in Monterey, about sixteen years ago. From that time to the day of his death he acted in the capacity of an elder of the church.
His loss will be felt by both the community and the church. But his last hours were characterized by that serenity of mind, and that composure at the prospect of death, which give evidence that he is of that number of whom it was said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” Rev. 14: 13.
Funeral discourse by the writer.
