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

DIED, of quick consumption, in Linneus, Aroostook Co., Maine, June 14, 1877. Sr. Clarissa Adams, aged 71 years, 8 months, and 23 days. Sr. Adams embraced present truth about a year and a half ago, and died in the faith, in hope of eternal life in the kingdom. Sermon by the writer, from Rom. 1:16, to a large circle of relatives and friends.

Samuel J. Hersum.

DIED, in Kensington, Conn., May 6, 1877, of lingering consumption, my dear wife, Mary S. Wilcox, aged 54 years. She had been identified with God’s dear waiting people since their great disappointment, so that the truths we have so long believed and loved were ever precious to her heart; and with an unshaken confidence in their final triumph, she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, leaving an aged mother, an only brother, two children, and a companion, to mourn her loss.

John Y. Wilcox.

DIED, June 20, 1877, of spinal fever, in Birch Run, Mich., Angeline, wife of Niles Bartholomew, and daughter of Dr. J. D. and Eliza Hough, aged 31 years, 1 month, and 15 days. She embraced the truth about 18 years ago, and has since lived a very consistent Christian life. A short time before her death, she was led to cry to God for an evidence of her acceptance with him; the blessing came, and she was made very happy and resigned to the will of the Lord, though she wished to live for the sake of her three little boys. Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:14.

R. J. Lawrence.
