OBITUARY.

DIED, at Healdsburg, Sonoma county, Cal., Dec. 2, 1878, Sister Louisa J. Vaughn, aged seventy-one years and three months. Sister Vaughn has for nearly two years been a believer in the truths as taught under the third angel's message, and was baptized at our camp-meeting last fall. She sleeps, waiting for the voice of her master to call.
Words of comfort were spoken to the sorrowing relatives and friends by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13-18. W. M. HEALEY.
DIED, in St. Clair, Nevada, December 2, 1878, infant daughter of D. M. and S. J. Whiteman, aged three months and seventeen days. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Jer. 31:15-17. B. A. STEPHENS.
FELL asleep in Jesus at Eugene City, Oregon, November 30, Sister Rosalinda E. Lowell, wife of Brother S. P. Lowell, aged 35 years and one month. Sister Lowell was converted when about twelve years of age, united with the Baptist church in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, and lived a consistent and devoted Christian until the day of her death. Her motto was "Be ye always ready." She joyfully embraced the doctrine of the soon coming of Christ about seven years ago. And this doctrine has been the chief subject of her thought and conversation. She longed to see the King in his beauty, and frequently expressed a desire to live until his second coming, but in view of the trials of the last days, would sometimes say "Perhaps it would be better to sleep; the Lord's will be done." She was a great sufferer for five weeks, but bore her sufferings with patience and resignation.
She embraced the Sabbath last summer while Elder Jones was preaching here. She gave many bright evidences of her acceptance with God, and died in full hope of a glorious immortality at the resurrection of the just. She leaves a husband, two children and many friends to mourn their loss.
Funeral sermon at Christian church, by Elder Whitney (Christian), which was attended by a very large congregation. Text 1 Cor. 15:53, 54. W. R. YOUNG.
