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

Died, Sept. 6, 1875, in North Liberty, Ind., sister Amanda Worster, wife of Henry Worster, and daughter of Adam and Magdelena Rupert, aged thirty-three years and five months. Sister W. embraced the truth of the third angel’s message some thirteen years since, was baptized, and united with the church of which she was a member until her death. She possessed a meek and quiet disposition, and was respected and loved by all who were acquainted with her. She leaves a husband, two children, an aged father and mother, one brother, five sisters, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss, who do not mourn as those who have no hope. Funeral discourse, by the writer, to a large and attentive congregation, from Rev. 14: 13. S. H. LANE.

Died, at North Parma, Monroe Co., New York, on Thursday, Aug. 26, 1875, sister Mary A. Crary, aged 56 years. Sister Crary embraced the truth nearly thirty years ago, and lived an earnest, consistent Christian life. In all the relations of life she conscientiously strove to perform her every duty. She leaves a husband, son, and daughter, and a large circle of relatives to mourn their loss. She earnestly desired a reunion with them on the morning of the first resurrection. Funeral discourse to a very large gathering of mourning friends and neighbors, from Isa. 25: 8, 9. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.

Died, of cholera infantum, at Jackson, Mich., Aug. 19, our infant son, Edgar James, aged ten months. He was a bright and loving child, and we miss him much. We have laid our darling away in hope of meeting him in the first resurrection. L. J. & MAGGIE COOK.

Died, of scarlet fever, in West Union, Todd Co., Minn., Aug. 25, 1875, our youngest child, Clara Isabel, aged six years and one month. Funeral discourse by Bro. J. I. Collins. D. W. & D. CRANDALL.

Died, of dysentery, at our home in Fairbury, Ill., Sept. 2, 1875, our little son, Harry John, aged seven years and ten months. He bore his sufferings patiently and passed away peacefully. Our hearts are stricken with grief and sorrow at the loss of one we love, but we bow humbly beneath the rod. We hope to overcome and meet him again in the morning of the resurrection. Words of comfort by the Methodist minister, from 1 Cor. 15: 40–58. GEORGE & ELIZABETH KNIGHT.

Died, of brain fever, in Johnstown, Mich., Sept. 10, 1875, Charles S. Eastman, in the forty-sixth year of his age. He had been a reader of the Review for nearly four years, yet had never taken a stand upon the truth. He leaves a wife and one young son. I should judge by the large turnout at his funeral that he was a man respected by the community. May this be an admonition to his afflicted wife to seek consolation in the service and promises of God and to take a stand upon the truth. Sermon by the writer from Job 14: 14. T. M. STEWARD.
