Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in North Kingstown, Washington Co., R. I., May 1, 1872, of paralysis, my dear father, Judge Harris Smith, aged sixty-nine years, seven months, and fifteen days. The deceased had been an active business man during the larger part of life, and, although he transacted business with credit to himself and satisfaction to others, yet he neglected the great plan of salvation, and his soul's welfare, till late in life. During his last sickness, which lasted over three years, he was convicted of sin and converted to the religion of Jesus. Nearly a year before his decease, through the efforts of one who used to read the Bible and publications of the Seventh-day Adventists to him, he acknowledged the true Sabbath, and ever after ably defended it. His faith in God was strong, and his heart overflowed with gratitude to him. His love to his Maker was manifested in a remarkable degree to all who cared for and called on him during his years of confinement.
His funeral discourse was preached from 1 Thess. 4: 13, 14. HATTIE S. SMITH.
OUR dear sister Almena Perry died recently, aged twenty-nine years. She endured a painful sickness for many months, which finally terminated in an abscess. Sister Almena was daughter of Bro. Johnson, deceased. She embraced the present truth under the labors of Bro. Waggoner many years ago, and adorned her profession with a godly life. She has passed quietly away, leaving a husband and three little boys to mourn, besides a Christian mother and grown up brothers and sisters. Oh! that they would but imitate her godly example, and thus with her have everlasting life in the soon-coming kingdom. R. M. THURSTON.
DIED, Aug. 4, 1872, at the residence of her son, in Rives, Jackson Co., Mich., of inflamed lungs, Frances Dunham, mother of Bro. G. G. Dunham, in the eighty-third year of her age. A comforting discourse was given by Bro. A. J. Richmond, to a large and attentive audience, from Job 14: 14. J. E. TITUS.
