Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, at Jamaica, Vt., April 7, 1872, sister Jane H. Pike, wife of Isaac N. Pike, in the sixty-fifth year of her age. She embraced the truths of the third angel’s message about nineteen years ago, and has borne the burden with the little company of commandment keepers in Jamaica, hopeful and cheerful under the darkest clouds and ever rejoicing in every indication of the prosperity of Zion. It will be said of her, “She hath done what she could.” The blessed hope sustained her during her brief but painful illness of nine days. She rests in hope. Funeral discourse by the writer from Ps. 17 : 15. N. Orcutt.

DIED, in Grande Ligne, P. Q., March 28, 1872, of inflammatory rheumatism which settled on his lungs, Robert Meggison, after a severe sickness of six weeks, aged sixty-nine years.

He had made no open profession of religion; yet he had entertained religious impressions, and was esteemed by all those acquainted with him as a man of respectability and strict honesty. A few months ago, his wife and one daughter embraced the Sabbath, and he also became deeply interested in the present truth, especially during his last sickness, when he gave evidence of his acceptance with God. “He meekly all his sufferings bore.” A. C. Bourdeau.
