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

DIED, in Paris, Maine, Oct. 9, 1870, my esteemed aunt, Mrs. Anna Andrews, wife of John Andrews, in the seventy-third year of her age. She was deeply interested in the doctrine of the near advent of Christ for the last twenty-eight or thirty years of her life, and her works gave evidence that she was earnestly seeking a full preparation for the great day of final account. She embraced the Sabbath of the Lord about twenty-five years before her death, and was, from that time forward, a conscientious observer of that sacred day. For about half a century, she was a disciple of Christ, faithfully walking in his steps according to her best light. I know not the circumstances of her death, but from her Christian life, I cannot doubt that she sleeps in Christ. May the bereaved family follow her worthy example, and find in Christ their consolation and support. J. N. ANDREWS.

DIED near Sugar Grove, Howard Co., Ind., May 3, 1871, sister Nancy J., wife of Bro. Robert Niccum, aged twenty-three years, and ten months. She embraced the truths of the third angel’s message last August. During her sickness, her mind seemed to dwell much upon the blessed hope. She leaves a companion and daughter and a large circle of friends, who mourn her loss, though they are comforted with the thought of soon seeing her again in the morn of the resurrection. S. H. LANE.
