MORRELL.—Died at the Old Ladies' Home in San Francisco, Cal., February 2, 1886, of a severe cold. Sister Jane Morrell, aged 84 years, 2 months, and 4 days. Sister Morrell embraced present truth about nine years ago, when Elders J. H. Waggoner and J. N. Loughborough were holding tent-meetings in San Francisco, and has since been a firm believer in the soon-coming of Christ. She manifested great cheerfulness in the lot assigned her by Providence, and was always faithful in her humble sphere. We believe she will have a part in the first resurrection. The funeral services were conducted by the President of the Home, February 4, 1886.

CAINE.—Died, in Oakland, Cal., Feb. 9, 1886, George L. Caine, aged 22 years, 5 months, and 19 days. Brother Caine was born in Butte County, Cal. For several years he had been afflicted with nervous dyspepsia, by which he had become very much reduced. The physicians who were consulted a short time before his death gave encouragement that he might recover; but he had suffered so much, and was so prostrated, that he could not be induced to indulge any hope. He expressed no desire to recover, but rather that he might soon die, without lingering in weakness. On the evening of February 8, he was feeling quite well, and said he thought he should have a good rest. In the night when he was visited, he was found dead, not having changed his position at all, nor apparently struggled. His mother has been a member of the Oakland church for a number of years. He united with the church by baptism in November last. His faith was strong, and his hope bright and clear. It was this that reconciled him to sleeping in the grave till the Life-giver comes. May the Lord inspire all the mourning ones with the same "blessed hope."
