Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Enosburgh, Vt., Feb. 3, 1871, of liver complaint and paralysis, Bro. P. M. Cross, aged about 66 years. Bro. Cross has been a believer in the second advent ever since 1844. On the day of his death, it had been exactly ten years since he began to keep the Sabbath. He leaves a companion, five sons, and two daughters, to mourn his loss. All his sons and one daughter, with their families, keep the seventh-day Sabbath. They sorrow not as those that have no hope, believing that he fell asleep in hope of having a part in the first resurrection.

Funeral discourse by the writer. Text, 1 Cor. 15:21. — A. C. BOURDEAU.

DIED, Feb. 9, 1871, in the town of Wright, Ottawa Co., Mich., of typhoid fever and several chronic diseases, George Tubbs, aged 29 years. He leaves a wife, aged parents, and brothers and sisters, to mourn his loss. While at the Health Institute at Battle Creek last summer, he became fully convinced of the truthfulness of our position. Since his return from there, he has kept the Sabbath of the Lord, and felt a deep interest in his own salvation. He often expressed a strong desire to be baptized, and left satisfactory evidence to his friends that he fell asleep in Jesus.

Remarks by the writer from 2 Pet. 3:13, to a large and attentive congregation. — J. L. EDGAR.

DIED, at her residence in Durant, Cedar Co., Iowa, Jan. 30, 1871, Sarah M. Nelson, wife of A. J. Nelson, in the 36th year of her age, after an illness of twenty-three months, of consumption. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her loss. She embraced the truth under the labors of Elds. Waggoner and Ingraham at the tent meeting at South Bend, Ind. Her evidence of acceptance with God was very clear in her last hours, and she fell asleep in the blessed assurance of a part in the resurrection of the just. — A. J. NELSON.

DIED, of consumption, in Boston, Mass., Jane B., wife of H. B. Stratton, aged 39 years. While in health, surrounding influences held the deceased from going fully with her husband in the present truth. But as the sure progress of disease dimmed her earthly hopes, she, under the labors of Eld. S. N. Haskell, surrendered all to God in obedience to his commandments, and the faith of Jesus Christ. — JAMES WHITE.

DIED, Feb. 5, 1871, in Burt Co., Neb., Eddie N., infant son of Ira L. and E. M. Fulton. We have laid our little one away to sleep for a short season, until the Lifegiver comes; then we hope to see him come forth in immortal bloom. — E. M. FULTON.

DIED, in Garden City, Minnesota, Jan. 22, Willie E. Rew, aged 17 years and 8 months. This our son, from one year of age until his death, was the subject of epileptic fits. At the age of ten, another affliction was added, that of ulcer on the lungs or liver. From that time all development of body and mind ceased, and his faculty of speech became so much impaired that it was difficult for him to make known anything more than his most common wants and necessities. His sufferings were great, especially the few last days of his life. But they are over, and now we look forward with faith, and a happy anticipation to the resurrection morn, when he shall be raised to share in its glories and rewards.

At the services, Eld. E. C. Sanders, Baptist minister, made some very appropriate and comforting remarks from Psa. 6:2. — E. AND C. M. REW.
