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

Died, in Charleston, Vt., Oct. 11, 1877, Cynthia Colby, wife of Bro. Enoch Colby, aged 70 years. Sister C. early embraced the Christian religion and united with the Methodists. She loved the doctrine of the near coming of the Saviour, and looked for it under the proclamation of the first angel's message. She embraced the Bible Sabbath under the labors of Bro. Bates some twenty-eight years since.

Her sickness was protracted. All hopes of recovery were abandoned a few days before her death, after which she manifested a readiness and willingness for the event. To the Irasburgh and Charleston church convened in quarterly meeting the Sabbath before she died, she sent an affecting farewell message.

The next Sabbath we laid her away to rest till the Lifegiver shall come. Funeral sermon from Col. 3: 3, 4. A. S. HUTCHINS.

Died, in the township of Rapid River, Mich., of dropsy, Mrs. Anna B. Wilson, aged 32 years and 5 months. We believe she sleeps in Jesus. GEO. W. WILSON.

Died, of consumption, near Bunker Hill, Ind., Sept. 28, 1877, Della Baxter, wife of Bro. A. Baxter, in the twenty-first year of her age. Three years ago, she embraced present truth under the labors of Brn. Lane and Kenyon, and has since lived a devoted Christian life. Two weeks before her death, her babe, aged six months, died. For her the grave had no gloom, as she expected the Saviour would soon give her eternal life. Funeral discourse by the writer to a large number of sorrowing friends. Text, 1 Thess. 4: 13–18. W. W. SHARP.
