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

Died, in Syracuse, N. Y., April 7, 1874, at the residence of her son-in-law, after an illness of several weeks, my step-mother, Elvira R. Luddington, aged 59 years. She embraced the Advent faith three years ago, at the Kirkville Camp-meeting, and was there baptized, renouncing her former Universalist faith, and continued firm in the truth to the end. Her last sickness was marked with great patience and sweet submission to the will of God. Funeral at the Baptist church, and services by the pastor of the same. S. L. RHODES.

Died, in Potterville, Eaton Co., Mich., May 7, 1874, of peritonitis, sister Isabella Rumsey, wife of Sylvester Rumsey, aged 26 years, 8 months, and 24 days. Sister Rumsey embraced the truths of the third angel’s message some two years since, under the labors of Eld. E. B. Lane. She lived a consistent Christian life, and gave evidence at its close of resignation to the will of God. She calmly and sweetly sleeps in Jesus to awake in the morning of the resurrection. Comforting words were spoken on the occasion by Bro. M. B. Miller, from John 11:35. ROBERT SAWYER.
