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

DIED, in North Liberty, Indiana, Oct. 3, 1873, my beloved wife, Elizabeth Harvey, aged forty-eight years. She was converted in early life and joined the Methodist church, where she maintained an unimpeachable Christian character. Some ten years since she was convinced, by careful examination of the Scriptures, that we are living in the hour of God’s judgment, when she withdrew from the Methodist church and embraced the seventh day Sabbath and nearly all the doctrines held by the Seventh-day Adventists. She leaves her husband and one son and a large circle of relatives and friends, who mourn their loss, but not without hope. Very appropriate remarks were made at her funeral by Elder S. H. Lane, from 1 Cor. 15:20, 21. JAMES HARVEY.

DIED, of consumption, near Greenville, Mich., Aug. 26, Abijah Noyes, aged sixty-two years. Bro. N. suffered much, but we hope that his will be the reward of the just. P. STRONG.

DIED, in Chicago, Oct. 7, 1873, Chas. Wegener, aged thirty-eight years. Short discourse by a German Adventist minister, from Job 1:14.

Bro. Wegener had been a sea-faring man and quite a missionary among the sailors, until conviction that the seventh day was the Sabbath of the Lord drove him from his occupation, and he came to Chicago and opened a small store. He was a German by birth, had kept the Sabbath some five years, and held, on most points, with Seventh-day Adventists. He bore a plain testimony wherever he was, and for some time previous to his death had united with us in social worship and Sabbath-school exercises. He had not a relative in this country. Among his last rational words were, “The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin.” I think he was a very upright, conscientious man, and will have part in the first resurrection. E. G. RUST.

DIED, Sept. 25, 1873, at his residence near Uniontown, Bourbon Co., Kansas, Bro. David W. Stuck, aged forty-five years, three months, and twenty-five days.

Bro. Stuck embraced the present truth and united with our little church at Uniontown, which was organized by Brother Cook, April 20, 1873. He lived a consistent Christian until called away. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn, but not as others who have no hope. We miss him from our little band, but we humbly commit him into the hand of the Lord, who doeth all things well. May the Lord comfort the lonely widow and children, and guide them on in the way of truth. A. W. CONE.

DIED, in Washington Co., Kan., Sept. 10, 1873, of consumption, Elizabeth D. Curl, after suffering severely about ten months. Her loss is deeply felt by the family and friends, but we trust she sleeps in Jesus, who was her only hope. At the funeral, words of comfort were spoken by W. H. Knight, Methodist. A. L. CURL.

DIED, in Caledonia, Boone Co., Ill., Sept. 13, 1873, of cholera infantum, our youngest child, Lydia Isora, aged three months and ten days. Although we greatly miss her, we sorrow not as those without hope, for we do hope, if faithful a little longer, we shall meet the loved ones where

Sickness and death cannot harm them, Nor tear them again from our side. J. & E. F. HUNTER.

DIED, in East Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 25, 1873, at the residence of Dr. Hough, of pulmonary consumption, Almon W. Flint, in the twenty-seventh year of his age. He embraced present truth above five months ago. He was a patient sufferer, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection.

Deceased was formerly a resident of Vermont. J. G. BENTON.
