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

Died in Battle Creek, Mich., April 25, 1878, of spinal meningitis, sister Matilda Matteson, oldest daughter of Eld. J. G., and Anna Matteson, aged 15 years and 6 months. About one year ago, when Bro. and Sr. Matteson left this country for Denmark, where they are now laboring as missionaries, Matilda came to Battle Creek, and attended our school till the commencement of her sickness a little over two weeks before her death. She was baptized, and united with the church, at the Lansing camp-meeting last September. Bro. and Sr. M., in their far-distant field of labor, are entitled to especial sympathy and remembrance in prayer, in this sad affliction. A large congregation assembled at the funeral, April 26, to whom we made a few remarks from Ps. 90: 12. C. S.

Died of pulmonary consumption, in Upper Alton, Ill., April 11, 1878, Bro. D. B. Hunt, in the thirty-eighth year of his age. He was the first fruit of my public labors. I hope to meet him, with my Lord, “in the air.” His wife and four children sustain this loss. Funeral services conducted April 12, by the writer. G. W. COLCORD.
