Obituary Notices.

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

ENOCH.—Died of dropsy, Aug. 1, 1879, near Bull’s City, Osborne Co., Kan., Arthur Enoch, eldest son of F. and H. Enoch, aged 12 years, 5 months, and 20 days. Words of comfort and exhortation were spoken by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:22, 23. GEO. H. SMITH.

BURDICK.—Died, at Minneapolis, Minn., July 31, 1879, of typhoid fever, Sister Antoinette Burdick, in the forty seventh year of her age. Sister Burdick embraced the Advent faith in the winter of 1877, and was faithful to the time of her decease. She will be much missed by the New Auburn church, of which she was a member, and by a large circle of acquaintances and friends. She had done much during her life to minister to the wants of the sick. Many who survive her will think tenderly of her devotion to them when in sickness. “The memory of the just is blessed.” “The righteous hath hope in his death.” H. W. BABCOCK.

BROOKS.—Died of consumption, at Convis, Mich., June 19, 1879, Sister Eliza Brooks, aged sixty years. She was born in England, near London, but had been a resident of this country for over thirty years. She embraced the Sabbath nearly two years ago. She was very solicitous for the spread of the truth, particularly in her native land, and was deeply anxious that her children should be brought to know and love it. Her sufferings for some months were very severe; but she endured them with fortitude and resignation, and calmly fell asleep with the blessed assurance of rising again in the morning of the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by Eld. U. Smith, from Rev. 14:13. S. SISLEY.
