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

DIED, in Marquette, Green Lake Co., Wis., of consumption, Bro. Alpheus Thomas, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Nearly fifteen years ago he embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, and has ever tried to live a consistent life. He died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” By request of friends, a discourse was given by Eld. Mosley (Baptist).

“Angels shall guard thy sleeping dust, And, as thy Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust, And end thy deep repose.” T. P. FINCH.

DIED, on the Hess Road, Feb. 19, 1875, in Newfane, Niagara Co., N. Y., Reuben B., youngest child of L. E. and P. E. Craw, aged 13 months and 20 days. Funeral services at the house of Elder Craw, the child's grandfather. The writer endeavored to speak words of comfort on the occasion from John 14: 1, 2, 3. At the close of the services, Bro. and sister Craw publicly renewed their covenant to serve the Lord, and be ready to meet their child when he should bring again the children “from the land of the enemy.” D. W. RICE.

OUR little boy, John, was taken with diphtheria, on his seventh birthday, Feb. 1, 1875, and died Feb. 12. It was hard to part with him; but he is now free from the evils of this world. By God’s grace we hope to meet him in the resurrection. E. & E. VANSYOC.
