“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., March 12, 1877, after an illness of eight days, of typhoid pneumonia, Bro. Lewis G. Morrison, aged 20 years. Bro. Morrison, in company with his elder brother, came from his home in California, to attend the Battle Creek College, at the commencement of the present term, designing to spend some over a year in this place. This was his first experience with the cold climate of these eastern States. The disease took a firm hold from the start and progressed with great rapidity, baffling the earnest efforts put forth to arrest its progress. Bro. M. expressed the most complete resignation at the prospect of death. He embraced the truth some years since, with all his father's family, in California, and has fallen asleep in bright hope. At the funeral, the 14th, which was attended by a large and sympathizing congregation, the following resolutions were presented, expressive of the feeling of the teachers and students of the College in reference to this sad bereavement:—

A TOKEN OF SYMPATHY.

Whereas, Our beloved brother and fellow student, Lewis C. Morrison, has been so suddenly removed from our midst, and called to lie down in the grave while in the bloom of youth and strength of manhood,
Resolved, That, while we feel that our loss has been very great, and while we mourn for the one whom we have learned to respect and love on account of his genuine modesty and the true Christian spirit which he manifested while among us, yet we recognize the fact, that the most severe affliction has come to the parents and relatives of the deceased; therefore,
Resolved, That we extend to them our heartfelt sympathies in this their hour of special sorrow and bereavement.
The above resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote of nearly two hundred students assembled in the College chapel, Thursday morning, March 15, 1877.
