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

DIED, of consumption, at Bunker Hill, Miami Co., Ind., June 20, 1875, sister L. M. Baxter, aged twenty-seven years. Sister B. embraced the truth while the tent was at Bunker Hill last September; she was baptized by Eld. S. H. Lane last spring when so weak she had to be carried into the water. Her husband and the little company at Bunker Hill deeply feel their loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4: 18. H. M. KENYON.

DIED, of dyspepsia, in Easton, Talbot Co., Md., our father, in the 70th year of his age. In early life he embraced the Christian religion and united with the M. E. Church, and lived in full fellowship with them until 1840, when he embraced the hope of the dear advent of Christ. He bore the disappointment with patience, saying, “He that is to come, will come,” &c. His mind was frequently led out towards the Sabbath of the Lord, and in 1857 he fully accepted it, in which faith he died, in good hope of a resurrection to immortal life. An aged mother remains to mourn with us our loss. In life he was consistent, in death triumphant. Discourse by Eld. Bowen from Job 14: 14. WILLARD W. STEBBINS.

DIED, in Wolcott, Feb. 24, 1875, of dropsy, my dear sister, Sarah B. Whitney, aged fifty-six years and ten months. She lived with me most of the time for seven years, and became interested in reading the REVIEW. Out of respect for me, she observed the Sabbath. Although living with other friends the last eight months before her death, she still kept the Sabbath. She said she was frequently reminded of what I had often told her, “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Funeral services by J. C. Langford, Methodist. LAURA M. ALEXANDER.
