OBITUARY.

DIED, in Oakland, Cal., May 7, of bright's disease, Sister Harriet A. Patterson, aged 40 years, 5 months, and 4 days. Sister P. had been in poor health for some three years. She was brought up by a Methodist mother and embraced the present truth, a few weeks before her death, by reading tracts and papers loaned her by a friend in Placer county, Cal. She embraced the truth in Oakland and died in our midst although the case was unknown to the church until our attention was called to it by a letter from Placer county, after her death.
