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

Died, at Armada, Mich., June 9, 1874, Willie A. Chapman, aged 7 years, 8 months, and 17 days. Also, but few days before, May 31, 1874, Philip C. Chapman, aged 4 years, 10 months, and 7 days. These were both children of Bro. C. H. and sister J. Chapman, bright, happy, and joyous. Death’s hand has chilled these young hearts, and the childish mirth and joy of the household has ceased, but not forever. May God give these parents grace to bear this double affliction, and so live that the heart may be full of gladness in the reunion at the coming of Jesus. Both died of diphtheria. They rest, as they played, side by side. Discourses were given by the writer from Isa. 54:7, and John 14:18. D. H. Lamson.

Died, at West Paris, Maine, May 10, 1874, Miss Almira Tyler, aged 71 years. She formerly belonged to the Methodist church, but becoming convinced on the Sabbath and kindred truths about four years ago, she was baptized and joined the Woodstock church of S. D. Adventists. She was an earnest Christian, and exemplified it daily by accepting the duties and burdens of this life as appointed her by the Lord, and so she patiently and cheerfully performed them. All through her sickness we found her still trusting in the strength of that arm on which she had so long leaned, confiding and hopeful in God. Geo. W. Washburn. Abbie E. Washburn.

Died, in the town of Denmark, Tuscola Co., Mich. very unexpectedly, July 29, 1874, Bro. Matthew Wilkinson, aged 47 years. The place of his nativity was Sutton, Lincolnshire, England. A. N. Fisher.
