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

DIED, in Brighton, Iowa, Sept. 24, 1870, of typhoid fever, Rosa Hobson, aged 18 years and four months. Sister Rosa embraced present truth, and united with the church some 18 months since. Her start was good, and progress for the first year very encouraging. Then in time of temptation, there was some wavering; but before she was taken sick she expressed a desire to return and seek the Lord with all her heart. She was kind and patient during an illness of two weeks; and her friends and attendants trust that Jesus was with her in the trying hour. Our church has been organized nearly two years. Sister Rosa is the first of our number to be called away by death, and perhaps the least expected. Brethren and sisters, let us be reminded that we too are mortal; and let us give the greater diligence while in health, to make our calling and election sure, for so an entrance shall be ministered unto us abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
