Obituary.

DIED, in Gilroy, Cal., the 3d of July, Lovinia E. Stephens, aged 43 years and 4 months.
Sister Stephens heartily embraced the present truth in the summer of 1875, when Eld. Canright and myself held a tent meeting in Gilroy. She was then suffering with a cancer, so that she could not attend many meetings, but in our frequent visits at her home, she eagerly listened to explanations of the Scriptures concerning the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. She was afflicted with the cancer more than fourteen years, and her sufferings were very severe before her death. But she suffered with true Christian patience, and left a good hope of a part in the "better resurrection."
The funeral was attended by Eld. Dryden, under whose ministry she united with the Methodist church some years ago. Sermon from Ps. 90.
