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

DIED of a complication of diseases, at Chicago, Ill., May 27, 1878, Rachel H. Evans, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. Sr. Evans was in the first advent movement. She commenced to keep the Sabbath four years ago, and during this time has labored for the interests of present truth in the contribution of means and by personal effort. She had earnestly and joyfully hoped to be living and with the people of her choice at the second coming of our Lord; yet her faith enabled her to say, “Not my will, but thine be done.” She sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, exhorting her friends to come to Christ. Her last precious words were, “Christ has prepared mansions for me.” Mrs. J. D. H. CAMP.

DIED in Almont, Mich., May 31, 1878, Addison Foster, son of John and Vasti Foster, in the twenty-eighth year of his age. He was working with a stump-machine, when it gave way, and falling on him broke his left limb twice in two and badly bruised his body. He died the third day after the accident. Bro. F. observed the Sabbath. His death was peaceful. A father and mother, a wife and four children, mourn his loss. A large audience was in attendance at the funeral. Discourse from Ps. 8:4, by Eld. N. M. Killmar. CAROLINE MOREY.
