OBITUARY

By S. E. EDWARDS

Fell asleep in Jesus, March 31st, 1859, sister Maranda Edwards, wife of David Edwards. She was one who will be much missed among us. She embraced the Sabbath eighteen months ago, and did adorn the doctrine that she professed. She came by the knowledge of the truth Daniel-like, by books. Now we are left only eight in number; but we believe God will add to us such as will be saved; for we believe in prayer, and we are still praying that more of our friends will get their eyes anointed with the eye-salve. Our dear sister left a husband and one child to mourn her loss, but we praise God that we have a hope that is like an anchor to the soul. We still live in hope of some of us seeing our Redeemer come. O may God help us that we can say in truth, This is our God; we have waited for him.
S. E. EDWARDS.
