SMITH.—Died in Fresno, Cal., May 6, 1885, Jane A. Smith, aged 72 years. Sister Smith was born in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, N. Y. She became a Christian early in life and united with the M. E. Church, of which she was a member over forty years. Seven years ago she embraced the Seventh-day Adventist faith, was baptized by Elder J. H. Waggoner, and joined the Fairview church. Her life for several years has been one of suffering; for the last year she was confined to her bed a great deal of the time; but she bore it all with remarkable fortitude and patience. She felt she had not long to sleep, and looked forward with bright anticipation to the time when the Lord shall descend from Heaven, and the righteous dead shall be raised and caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and so ever to be with the Lord.
