“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died at Battle Creek, Michigan, Nov. 5, 1878, of lingering consumption, Sister Nancy A. Brooks, of Monroe, Wis., aged 39 years and one month. Nine years ago last March she came to Battle Creek to be treated for the recovery of her health, and it was at that time that she fully embraced the truth of the near advent of Christ and decided to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. From that time to the present she has faithfully walked in the truth, and by her good example has recommended the religion of Christ to all with whom she has associated. She had great peace of mind in her last hours, and spoke of seeing angels in the room. She leaves a husband, Bro. Isaac Brooks, and a son and daughter, besides a large circle of friends, to mourn her loss. May God impart to these stricken ones the consolation of his grace, and may they so walk with God that they shall be permitted to meet the dear wife and mother in the kingdom of God. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. J. N. A.
Died in Princeville, Ill., July 25, 1878, of internal cancer, Sister Elizabeth L. Bliss, aged 58 years, 11 months, and 19 days. Sister Bliss was converted in early life, and joined the Christian church. Under the labors of Elds. Ingraham and Sanborn, at Princeville, in 1862, she embraced present truth, joined the church, and remained in its fellowship until her decease. Her last sickness continued more than six months; but all her severe pain she bore with patience, and now the husband and seven children are cheered with the thought that she rests in hope.
Funeral services were conducted by Eld. W. D. H. Young, of the M. E. church.

Nellie, daughter of Eld. C. H. and Sister S. E. Bliss, departed this life, in Clinton, Ill., Sept. 29, 1878, aged 1 year, 7 months, and 17 days. Her death was caused by mesenteric consumption. The consoling thought is—
Nellie now in silence sleepeth, And escapes this world's dread frown; O'er her grave her angel keepeth Vigil, till she gains her crown.
Discourse by the writer, based on 2 Kings 4:26.
