ANDREWS.—Sarah Jane Andrews, daughter of T. and M. J. Kindlespire, died of consumption, Feb. 24, 1887, at the home of her brother-in-law, Philip Kent, near Oakland, Cal. She was born in McLean Co., Ill., March 3, 1856, and was consequently 30 years, 11 months, and 21 days old at the time of her death. Something over six months before her death, she signed a covenant to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and began to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Like most sufferers with consumption, she was deceived with the idea that she was going to recover, and expressed a desire to do something to advance the cause of the Master. A husband and other relatives mourn her loss, but they have reason to believe that she rests in hope. Funeral services by the writer, February 26. w.

ANTHONY.—Died of heart and lung disease, induced by whooping-cough, near St. Helena, Napa Co., Cal., Feb. 18, 1887, Willie L., youngest child of A. L. and Florence Anthony, aged 2 years, 4 months, and 5 days. Little Willie was of a remarkably quiet and good disposition, and bore his distressing affliction for thirteen weeks, with unusual patience for one so young.

While the parents deeply mourn their loss, they are comforted with the blessed hope of meeting their darling again when Jesus comes. Quite a large audience listened to words of truth and hope, Sabbath afternoon, February 19, from 2 Sam. 14:14. H. A. St. JOHN.
