OBITUARY.

By E. L. Barr

DIED May 30th, Hannah L., wife of Bro. Robert Barnes, aged 32 years.

By this sudden death Bro. Barnes has lost a true-hearted, christian companion, and the church one of its most devoted, faithful members; one that has honored the cause by consistently keeping the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus.

The funeral attendance was very large. After the services, by the side of our much afflicted brother, with the long funeral procession we started with sorrowful hearts for the resting place of our beloved sister. When we arrived at the destined spot, the thought that God's dear saints who have suffered patiently, kept the faith and finished their course, have a safe resting place on this sin cursed earth, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest, added joy to our sorrow.

While the saints deeply feel their loss, they "sorrow not as others which have no hope."

E. L. BARR.
