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

DIED, in Charlestown, R. I., January 1, 1874, Herbert L., youngest son of Bro. A. P. and sister N. M. Green, after a severe sickness of five days of scarlet fever. Herbie was an interesting little boy. Parents and brothers loved him dearly. May their hearts’ affections all be drawn away from this world by this bereavement as never before, and placed on things that are not seen, but eternal.

Words of comfort by the writer from Matt. 19: 14.

P. C. RODMAN.

DIED, in Pontiac, Ill., September 22, of inflammatory rheumatism, our very dear brother, John A. Evans, in the thirty-fourth year of his age. Bro. E. was one of the excellent of the earth, conscientious and God-fearing, loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and two little sons to mourn their loss. May they live so as to meet him in the resurrection morn.

At his funeral, a large congregation listened to a discourse from the words, “I am the resurrection and the life.”

R. F. ANDREWS.

DIED, December 6, 1873, of lung fever, sister Elizabeth Chapman, aged sixty-five years and ten months. Sister C. embraced present truth twenty-three years since, under the labors of Eld. S. W. Rhodes in Northern Illinois. Her life has been such as to adorn the cause of Christ. In her last hours, all was peace and joy in God, while she exhorted friends and neighbors to prepare to meet her on Mount Zion.

F. W. MORSE.

DIED, in Olcott, N. Y., November 10, 1873, of inflammation of the stomach, our beloved brother, George Gaskill, aged thirty-five years. He embraced the third angel’s message about fifteen years since, and was a firm believer at the time of his death. We have reason to believe that God will remember his sleeping dust. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn their loss.

M. G. LINDSAY.
