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

FELL asleep in Jesus, the 29th of March, 1876, at his father's residence in Washington, N. H., Bro. Albert F. Ball, aged twenty-seven years. His disease was consumption. At the time Bro. and Sr. White were at that place, eight years ago last February, he, with thirteen others, commenced to serve the Lord. Of this number three have now fallen asleep, and rest in hope. Bro. Albert has ever manifested that evenness of character which is so commendable in a Christian; also a willingness to bear such responsibilities as the providence of God indicated that he should. His last words to his mother were, “Be faithful.” He was asked when dying if all was well; he whispered: “All is well.” He leaves a wife and child to mourn their loss, but not without hope.

“He sleeps in Jesus—peaceful rest— No mortal strife invades his breast; No pain, nor sin, nor woe, nor care, Can reach the silent slumberer there.”

Remarks at the funeral, from 1 Thess. 4:13–18, by the writer. S. N. HASKELL.

DIED, in the triumphs of a living faith, of consumption, at Omaha, Neb., March 16, 1876, John Whitlock, in the 65th year of his age. Father Whitlock embraced the faith of Adventists about sixteen years ago in Muncy, Pa. He embraced all the commandments of God two years ago while living in Rock Island, Ill., under the personal labors of Eld. R. F. Andrews, and kept the Sabbath faithfully up to the time of his death. He was a firm believer in the soon coming of Christ, and longed for that event. He leaves a wife and six children. “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth.” THEO. F. KENDALL.

DIED, of Paralysis, Feb. 16, 1876, at Albert Lea, Minn., our dear mother, Diadama Squier, aged fifty-nine years. Mother embraced present truth three years ago this winter, under the labors of E. H. Ells, and H. F. Phelps, and has lived it ever since, and loved it, though she had to keep the Sabbath alone during the last year and a half of her life. She sleeps in Jesus, awaiting the resurrection morning. She leaves five sons and four daughters, and many friends, to mourn the loss of her good counsel. M. H. & L. BROWN.

DIED, probably of a rupture of a blood-vessel in the head, after an illness of less than two days, at Lodi, Columbia Co., Wis., April 5, 1876, Etta M., youngest daughter of N. M. and F. L. Jordan, aged three years and nine months. We mourn our loss, but she sleeps in peace. Funeral service by Eld. Boman, Baptist, from John 19:41. N. M. JORDON.
