OBITUARY.

It becomes my duty to announce to the friends of the cause the death of my dear mother, Anna M. Cory, who fell asleep in Jesus, June 8th, 1858, aged about 81 years. We feel to mourn her loss, but not as those without hope. She had been a member of the Christian Church over thirty years, when Eld. S. T. Cranston came to this place in March, 1854, and preached the Third Angel's Message. She immediately embraced it, and commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. She rejoiced in the present truth, and often expressed a desire to live till the Saviour came, till she was confined to her bed; then she said, The Lord's will be done. Her disease was consumption. She suffered during the last three weeks of her sickness intensely, but bore it with resignation and patience. Often when I stood by her bed-side she would say, My time is almost up, my sufferings are almost over, I will wait patiently the Lord's time to remove me from this world of sorrow and affliction. She rests a short time, till the last trump shall sound. Then will she put on immortality and shout victory over death and the grave.

OUR little daughter, Lauretta L. Carter, died June 14th, 1858, aged 10 months and 12 days. Her sufferings for many days previous to her death were very great; but we believe she has endured her last suffering, for the word of God is plain that such children will have a part in the first resurrection. We mourn not as those that have no hope. It is comforting to us to know that in a little while that little body that was racked with pain will come forth made like unto Christ's glorious body. See Phil. iii, 21; Rev. xxi, 4. Bro. Z. Andrews delivered a funeral discourse from 1 Thess. iv, 18. “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
