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

DIED in Hillsdale, Mich., April 3, 1878, Bro. J. M. Brown, aged 73 years. He and his wife were among the first to embrace the truth when the tent was at Hillsdale. He has since been a devoted, earnest worker for the Master. He suffered much in his short sickness, yet he bore his sufferings with Christian patience, and was resigned to go. He leaves an aged companion and two sons, who feel their loss, but do not mourn as those without hope. May the Lord help them to prepare for a reunion in the kingdom of God. Funeral attended by the writer. Text, 1 Thess. 4:18.

“Asleep in Jesus, O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet.”

T. M. STEWARD.

DIED, April 1, at Centreville, Oswego Co., N. Y., Bro. Reuben Torrey, aged 64 years. Bro. Torrey embraced the Sabbath truth about twenty years ago, and as a Christian and a neighbor was loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a companion and children to mourn his loss, but they sorrow not as others that have no hope. The writer spoke on the occasion, from John 3:16.

M. H. BROWN.

DIED at Shelburne Falls, Mass., March 23, 1878, after an illness of about six weeks, my beloved mother, Susan Elmer, aged 70.

Funeral discourse by Mr. Evans, Baptist minister.
