BRYANT.—Died of consumption, September 11, 1885, at her home in Yutan Clear Creek, Neb., Elizabeth E. Bryant, aged 50 years and four months. She was born in Royalton, Vt. She has been a great sufferer for several years. While visiting in Fontanelle, Iowa, in 1881, she heard the Third Angel's Message preached, and was convinced of the truth, and has ever since then been keeping the commandments of God. She died with full trust in Jesus. She expressed herself at different times as perfectly submissive to the Lord's will.

Although her sufferings were very severe, she never uttered a murmur or complaint, but her last words were of God's goodness and mercy. She leaves a husband, an aged mother, a brother, and two sisters, besides many other warm friends to mourn her loss. But we mourn not as those without hope; for we feel a full assurance that, if faithful, we shall meet her in the morning of the resurrection, when Jesus comes to wake his sleeping saints.
