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

DIED, near Patricksburg, Owen Co., Ind., July 4, 1874, of consumption, my dear wife, aged thirty-two years, nine months, and twenty-four days. She embraced the Sabbath with me about three years ago, under the labors of Brn. E. B. and S. H. Lane, and gave good evidence of true conversion. She bore her affliction with great patience, and expressed herself ready to go. We have good hope that, if faithful, we shall meet her in the kingdom. D. H. OBERHOLTZER.

DIED, in Westbury, P. Q., July 6, 1874, Mary Andrus, aged fifty-four years. She leaves a companion and two sons to mourn their loss, but not without hope. She has been a professor for quite a number of years. She belonged to the M. E. church when first I knew her. For the last few years she has tried to walk in all the commandments of the Lord blameless. We trust she sleeps in Jesus, to awake in the morning of the first resurrection. JOHN CLAYTON.

DIED, in Lodi, Wis., July 10, 1874, after an illness of about four months, Mary, daughter of Robert and Mary Jane Paul, aged four years, nine months, and ten days. A short time before she died she sang “Sweet Hour of Prayer” with such distinctness and tenderness that those who were present were affected to tears. We laid her away in the tomb to rest in sweet hope of soon meeting when Jesus comes. Discourse by Eld. Kellogg, Methodist, from Ps. 90:12. N. M. JORDON.

DIED, in Ripon, Wis., July 3, 1874, of consumption, Helen Amelia, daughter of J. W. and N. G. Sanders, aged twenty-three years and five days. In 1867, while a patient at the Health Institute at Battle Creek, Mich., she made a public profession of faith in a crucified and risen Saviour by following him in the sacred ordinance of baptism, and uniting with the S. D. A. church of that place, since which she has never swerved from the position then taken. During the past two years she has seemed to have more than a usually deep Christian experience, and as she herself drank of the fountain of living waters she seemed impelled to carry the refreshing draught to others; and no self-denial or labor was too great if by it she might alleviate physical suffering, or give one ray of light to those sitting in spiritual darkness. She felt the assurance that all her sins were forgiven that no stain remained. She sweetly sleeps in Jesus. J. W. & N. G. SANDERS.
