Obituary.

BURCH.—Died, August 29, 1888, in Allila, Tulare County, Cal., after an illness of eight days, with typhoid fever and heart troubles, W. T. Burch, aged 35 years. Brother Burch embraced the truth from reading, about one year previous to his death, and was baptized at the next camp-meeting following, which was held at Selma, in this State. His life was consistent and influential for good upon his neighbors. One of the ministers in the community testified to the influence of his life upon his own mind, that it was such as never would be erased. He left a wife and four children to follow his bier to the grave, where he awaits the glad day when death shall give back the dead, the grave its treasure, and the enemy his victim. E. P. DANIELS.

CHAMBERLIN.—Died, at South Windham, Conn., December 30, 1888, Alice M., wife of Charles Chamberlin, and daughter of W. E. Landon, aged 33 years. Sister Alice united with the Baptist Church in 1878, and has always led a Christian life. On her mother's death, which occured five years ago, she was brought by the affliction to a closer walk with God, and determined to obey him by keeping his Sabbath holy, although isolated from those of like faith. We laid her to rest on New Year's day with sad hearts, yet with the blessed hope that when Jesus comes we shall meet the loved ones around our Father's throne. Remarks by a Methodist minister from John 11:25. MRS. J. B. SMITH.
