Obituary.

GILBERT.—Died at Rohnerville, Humboldt County, Cal., Sabbath morning, October 26, Nathan C. Gilbert. Deceased was born in Madison County, N. Y., and at the time of his death was 74 years old. He first heard present truth at a tent-meeting held by Elders Loughborough and Bourdeau at Healdsburg, eighteen or nineteen years ago. He became a member of the Ferndale church at the last county camp-meeting. There being no Seventh-day Adventist preacher in the county, words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:12, 13, by Mr. McDonald, a Congregationalist. The deceased leaves a wife and two married daughters. The blow falls most heavily upon the wife, to whom he has been united for nearly fifty years.

REED.—Died of typhoid malaria and pneumonia, October 16, 1889, at East Portland, Oregon, Luella, daughter of H. W. and Steina Reed, aged 13 years, 11 months, and 9 days. Luella was baptized and united with the East Portland church, the 28th of May, 1887, and though young she gave evidence of being truly converted to God. She seemed to realize that she could not recover, and called in the members of the family, one by one, and asked them to forgive any hasty or unkind word spoken during her illness. Luella sleeps in Jesus. Her parents are bowed with grief, but realize the sustaining hope of the gospel. Words of comfort by the writer from John 11:25, 26. W. C. WARD.
