Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, at Twin Groves, Green Co., Wis., Dec. 16, 1870, our brother, David Sanborn, of mesentery tumor, aged 36 years, 5 months, and 15 days. He leaves a wife and one child; but they mourn not without hope. He professed religion about two years ago, and, a few weeks before he died, commenced to keep the Sabbath. The day before his death he told me that all was peace between him and the Lord. So, like Mary, we can say, We believe our brother shall live again in the resurrection at the last day. By special request of the relatives, the writer spoke words of comfort to a large congregation, from the following words: “Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thess. 4:18.

“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep.”

I. SANBORN.

DIED, at Matherton, Mich., of consumption, Nov. 16, 1870, Sarah B. Brink, daughter of Mrs. A. C. Kellogg, aged 23 years, 2 months, and 8 days. Sarah has been an invalid about seven years; yet she had been so as to be about most of the time until some five weeks before her death. She lived a consistent Christian life, and we have hope that she sleeps in Jesus. Sermon on the occasion by Eld. Wightman, M. E., from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14.
