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

Saunders.—Died, in Roulette, Potter Co., Pa., July 28, 1879, Morris J., only son of J. G. and M. L. Saunders, aged twelve years and five days. The circumstances of his death were painful, and were as follows: He was assisting in loading hay in the field, and in attempting to recover the lines, which had fallen upon the whiffletree, he was thrown under the wagon, dragged several rods by the lines, to which he clung, and run over by both the forward and hinder wheel, dislocating his neck, causing instant death. I was engaged in tent labor at Potter Brook, where I received the sad intelligence at midnight, and hastened home, arriving a few hours before his burial. Funeral discourse by Eld. Rose, Baptist, from Jer. 31: 15–17. It is a sad bereavement, especially to his mother, as he was beginning to be of great help in my absence from home. Pray for us, that sustaining grace may be given. J. G. Saunders.

Blake.—Died, at Galway, Saratoga Co., N. Y., July 6, 1879, our beloved daughter, Alice L. Blake, in the nineteenth year of her age. She gave her heart to the Lord last September, and has since lived a consistent Christian life. She leaves a husband, parents, four brothers, and one sister, besides a large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn her loss. W. N., and E. Parker.

Farrar.—Died, July 20, 1879, of congestive chills, near Lakeview, Mich., Florence Farrar, aged 4 years, 9 months, and 15 days. Her parents embraced the truth under the labors of Bro. A. O. Burrill, two years ago this summer. They are comforted with the blessed hope that our dear Saviour is soon to come, when their little Florence will be returned to their embrace. Remarks by the writer, from Jer. 31: 15–17. G. H. Gilbert.

Durham.—Fell asleep in Jesus, July 25, 1879, sister Elizabeth Durham, wife of Bro. W. Durham, near Russellville, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. Her death has cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood, for she was much esteemed and greatly beloved by family, church, and neighbors. She died of measles, four days from time of attack. Funeral discourse, by request of deceased, from Rev. 14:13. Chas. B. Reynolds.
