Death of Sister Rice.

THE news of the death of Sister Rice reached us on the camp-ground in Nevada, about five hours after she fell asleep. It cast a gloom over our meeting, for all knew her and loved her for her devotion to the cause of God. We all feel afflicted in the affliction of the family. The "Band of Hope" of Little River passed some expressive and touching resolutions on the occasion. She was its first president. For the sake of the cause which she served so well we feel her loss deeply. But God is not straitened for resources, and she will not sleep long. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth."
