PALMER.—Died, in San Francisco, Feb. 8, Mary Rosamond Palmer, aged 9 months and 14 days. Brother and Sister Palmer took the little orphan as an act of Christian duty. She was more than ordinarily intelligent, and always a great sufferer. By her lovely and affectionate disposition she won the deepest sympathy and affection of those who had her in charge. It was a great affliction to them to lose her; but they believe the Lord gave her to them, and that she will soon be restored to them in the resurrection. Funeral services at the house of worship in San Francisco, Sunday, Feb. 10, largely attended by the church. EDITOR.

POWERS.—Died, at Chico, Cal., Dec. 19, 1883, Sister Sarah J. Powers, aged 50 years. She leaves a husband and five step-children, besides many friends, to mourn her decease. Her testimony was, “I die in the triumph of a living faith, knowing that Jesus will soon come to take his suffering children home.”
