“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” REV. 14:13.

Frankie Goodman, of East Norwalk, Ohio, died of inflammation of the bowels, Jan. 29, 1879, in the tenth year of his age. A loving father and mother and two little brothers mourn their loss. Frankie, together with his parents and brothers, attended our meetings in East Norwalk, and all were much interested. He loved to read the Bible, and during his dying moments gave good evidence that he loved the Lord and had his blessing. He bade all the family and friends an affectionate farewell, and sweetly fell asleep in death. May the bereaved parents be ready to meet their dear little boy when Jesus comes to raise the dead. Funeral discourse by the writer to a large and attentive congregation. Text, 1 Cor. 15:26. H. A. St. John.

Noah W. Perrine died at Spring Arbor, Mich., Feb. 12, 1879, of congestion of the lungs, aged 31 years. Though never openly professing Christ, he in his last sickness expressed confidence in the truths of the Bible, and a wish to live them out. His friends laid him away, trusting in God who doeth all things well. Discourse from 1 Pet. 2:7, first clause. J. O. G.

Twist. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” S. R. Twist.

Died of lung fever, in Defiance, Ohio, Jan. 9, 1879, Bro. Elisha F., son of C. G. Daniels, aged 28 years, 4 months, and 3 days. He was one of the members of the Defiance church when it was first organized by Eld. I. D. Van Horn in 1870. Much of the time during his short and painful sickness was spent in seeking a nearness to God. He expressed great anxiety to unite in prayer with myself and wife. We arrived there about one o’clock P. M., and had a sweet season of prayer, during which his responses expressed a confident hope that all was well. At the close of the exercises he responded, “Amen,” and in about five minutes sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. Wm. F. Crous.

Died of diphtheria, Feb. 6, 1879, at DuQuoin, Ill., James Stanhouse, aged 38 years, 7 months, and 27 days. Our dear brother embraced the truth last August under the labors of Bro. Colcord and Bliss, and he has since been a devoted, earnest worker in the cause of God. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Joh. 14:14. We miss the counsel and influence of our brother. C. H. Foster.

Died of bilious pneumonia, in Matherton, Mich., Jan. 17, 1879, my mother, Mrs. A. C. Kellogg, wife of Leander Kellogg, in the 59th year of her age. We mourn for her but believe she sleeps in Jesus. Funeral discourse by Eld. Jordon, M. E., from 2 Tim. 4:6-8. E. Brink.
