FLEMING.—Died of dropsy of the brain, Aug. 11, 1879. Dennis Irvin, only child of J. D. and E. I. Fleming, of Shelby, Oceana Co., Mich. We miss our little one, but hope to meet him when the Lifegiver comes. EUNICE I. FLEMING.

HARVEY.—Died of lung fever, April 12, 1879, at Estella, Mich., Lydia Harvey, daughter of I. and M. Harvey, aged 2 years, 4 months, and 12 days. Her bereaved parents miss her much, yet they mourn not as those without hope. Words of comfort were spoken, from Job 14:20, by Eld. Rossman, of the United Brethren. LILLIE A. NICHOLS.

CASH.—Died, in Oakland, Jeff. Co., Wis., Aug. 12, 1879, Bertha Alice, daughter of J. A. and S. A. Cash, aged 1 year 8 months and 25 days. We have laid our dear one away until the Lifegiver comes, when we expect, if faithful, to meet her again in immortal bloom, to enjoy the blessed inheritance of the people of God. J. A. AND S. A. CASH.

PALMANTEER.—Died of typhoid fever, in Tekamah, Burt Co., Neb., Aug. 15, 1879, Martha J. Talmanteer, aged 21 years, 10 months, and 27 days. A little over two months ago she was baptized, with several others, by Bro. Boyd. She was a faithful and consistent Christian, and her friends are cheered with the hope that she will arise in the morning of the resurrection. She leaves parents, sisters, and brothers, being the oldest child, and the first to be laid away. Sermon by Elds. Dawson and Olinger, from John 11:25. H. A. WHITTAKER.

CRAMER.—Died, Aug. 2, 1879, my father, Isaac D. Cramer, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. He participated in the first and second angel's messages, and in 1850 he with his family embraced the third angel's message through the labors of Eld. Joseph Bates in Melbourne, Lower Canada, since which time he had been a firm believer in present truth. His sufferings were great, but he bore them with patience. He leaves a wife, daughter, and two grandchildren, to mourn his loss. But they have the blessed assurance that his hope and trust were in God, and that when the last trump shall sound he will come forth clad in immortality. Discourse by Eld. Boyd, Presbyterian. MRS. W. J. SHERMAN.

MORSE.—Died, in Battle Creek, of apoplexy, Aug. 17, 1879, Aaron R. Morse, aged 83 years, 4 months, and 4 days. He had tried to live a Christian life since the age of 26. In 1842 he embraced the Advent doctrine, and commenced the observance of the Sabbath, as a believer in the third message, in 1850. He moved from Vermont, in 1868, to Battle Creek, which has since been the place of his residence. He ever dwelt with delight upon the memories of the great Advent movement in the past, wherein the love of the brethren was so wonderfully manifested, and the power of God's Spirit displayed. He had a firm faith in the present movement as a further fulfillment of the prophecy, and was one, we believe, who loved the appearing of the Lord. Remarks at the funeral, the 19th, from 2 Tim. 4:8. U. S.

COGGESHALL.—Died of consumption, at her home in New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 1, 1879, Annie R. Coggeshall, aged 25 years, 8 months, and 27 days. Sister Annie went to Battle Creek in October, 1876, to attend the College. She remained until July, 1878, when, her health failing, she returned home, thinking a change of climate might be beneficial; but it proved otherwise. While in Battle Creek she gave her heart to the Lord, and was baptized by Eld. Canright during the revival meetings in April, 1878. Although suffering much, she manifested great patience and resignation. We have laid her away to rest until the Lifegiver shall come. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” Rev. 14:13. S. S. MOONEY.

JONES.—Died of consumption, at Smithland, Iowa, Aug. 18, 1879, sister Jerusha Jones, in the forty-fifth year of her age. In the fall of 1876, she with a goodly number of others embraced the truth under the labors of Eld. E. W. Farnsworth, and soon after joined the church. About three weeks before her death a prayer-meeting was held at her house, in which all were affected to tears as she made an earnest prayer for all the members of the church, and especially for her family. Two days before her death she expressed great thankfulness that she had believed and accepted the glorious truth of God while she had health and strength. She will be missed by the Smithland church, and by a large circle of acquaintances and friends. She died firm in the faith, and rests in hope of having a part in the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by Eld. Kilbourn, Methodist. BURGESS VAN DORN.
