Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.
HAMILTON.—Died at St. Charles, Mich., April 3, 1879, Walter G., son of C. R. and Mary J. Hamilton, who live at Tawas, Mich., aged 2 years, 4 months, and 18 days. They left their home for fear of a dreadful disease which was prevailing in their town and bringing sorrow to many households, and came to St. Charles. Here their little one was taken sick, and in less than one week death claimed his spoil. As the grief-stricken parents turned their faces toward their now desolate home, they could realize more fully than ever before that death is not confined to any one locality. Funeral discourse by the writer at the Adventist house in Jay, Sabbath, April 12, from 1 Thess. 4:13. E. R. JONES.
EGBERT.—Died at Jay, Mich., April 13, 1879, Sister Almira Egbert, aged 73 years, 11 months, and 17 days. Sister Egbert embraced the present truth about the year 1852, at Rochester, N. Y., and has ever since been looking with glad anticipations for the coming of the Lord. She was the first to represent the truth in Saginaw county, and she has ever maintained a consistent walk before the world, and the church to which she belonged. She leaves quite a large circle of children and grandchildren to mourn her loss. Funeral discourse from the words, “And there shall be no more death.” Rev. 21:4. E. R. JONES.
IRVING.—Died of dropsy, in Jay, Saginaw Co., Mich., April 23, 1879, Sister Sabrina Irving, aged 51 years. For years she has been a great sufferer. Those best acquainted with her feel that she has left good evidence that she will have a part in the first resurrection. Remarks by the writer before a large company of the friends and neighbors of the deceased. Subject, the hope of the Christian and its sure reward, founded on Bible promises. A. N. FISHER. (St. Paul, Minn., papers, please copy.)
JEYS.—Died at the residence of Bro. Smith, Steer Creek, Harrison Co., Iowa, Bertha Alice, infant daughter of George and Rebecca Jeys, aged 4 months and 10 days. Words of comfort to the sorrowing friends by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:55, 56. THOMAS J. BRYCESON.
