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

FELL asleep, in Plum City, Pierce Co., Wis., March 18, 1874, Bro. Benjamin Taylor, aged 57. He suffered much during his short illness, but endured his sufferings with great patience, speaking of the resurrection as near at hand. We mourn our loss, but not as those who have no hope. We expect to be re-united in the new earth. H. M. NELSON.

DIED, in Otsego, Mich., April 13, 1874, at the residence of his son-in-law, John L. Carter. Bro. George W. Burnham in the 84th year of his age. He had been an observer of the Sabbath of the Lord for about five years. Remarks from 1 Cor. 15:26. CHAS. A. RUSSELL.

DIED, in Le Sueur, Minn., April 2, 1874, of consumption, sister Mary Wise, aged twenty-six years, five months, nine days. She embraced the present truth four years ago at the Wasioja Camp-meeting, of which she has ever since been a firm believer. She died in the blessed hope of a part in the first resurrection. She leaves a husband, two children, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by Eld. Campbell, Presbyterian, of the same place. Text: “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Ps. 26:5. MAGGIE JENSON.

DIED, March 31, 1874, in Mankato, Minn., from the breaking of an abscess in the lungs, my beloved wife, Margaret A. Morse, in the twenty-fifth year of her age. She was baptized at eleven years of age, and has ever maintained a consistent profession of the truth. Her experience has been marked with great steadfastness—no backsliding, no turning away from the light of truth and the word of God. Her mind was clear in the last hours, and triumphant in God. Very comforting words by Eld. Bennet, pastor of the Christian church, from Luke 24:34. F. W. MORSE.
