Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 19, 1873, Willie J., infant son of Asahel C. and Susannah R. Smith. With submission these dear parents bow to the afflictive dispensation, and lay their sweet babe away to rest till the Life-giver shall come. Remarks at the funeral from the words, “We do all fade as a leaf.” A. S. HUTCHINS.

DIED, in Morrisville, Vt., Aug. 30, 1873, of typhoid fever, Bro. Lyman W. Kenny, aged twenty-five years. Bro. Kenny embraced the truth about two years ago, and leaves a good record of Christian character. A wife and one child mourn their loss. Discourse by the writer from Job 33:14. ALBERT STONE.

DIED, in Campton, N. H., Aug. 27, 1873, Mrs. Ruth Morrill, aged seventy-three years. She was one of twelve persons who organized the Baptist church in that town, and remained a worthy member of the same until last winter. She heard the lectures given there on the truths for this age, became interested at once, and began to read our works, and read the Bible with renewed interest; became fully satisfied that the messages of Rev. 14: 6-12, belonged to the last age of the church, and were to prepare her to meet the Saviour. She commenced to keep the Bible Sabbath, embracing also all the truths of this three-fold message, and died with confidence increasing. The last six months of her life, with all their trials, were the most joyful in the Lord. P. C. RODMAN.
