DIED in Waltham Addison Co., Vt., May 24th, 1854, sister Vesta L., daughter of Bro. Edwin and Sr. Susan Lothrop, aged 15 years and 5 months. She embraced the Advent doctrine when quite young and about three years ago commenced keeping the Sabbath with her parents and sisters, and has been a faithful follower of her Saviour. She suffered much pain in her head, during her last sickness of two weeks; yet she bore it with patience and resignation. She fell asleep in Jesus without a struggle or a groan, to rest until the morning of the resurrection. Bro. E. Everts preached a very appropriate discourse from 1 Thes. iv. 13-17. Her parents mourn her loss; yet they sorrow not as those who have no hope.159
"Dearest sister thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God, that has bereft us,
And he can all our sorrows heal."
