OBITUARY.

DIED, in North Dartmouth, Mass. Bro. Philip Collins, in the 51st year of his age. His disease was the typhoid fever with which he suffered intensely at times until its long run closed his earthly career June 6th.
He was deprived of his reason much of the time at the commencement of his sickness and for several days at the close.
His family and the little church in this place deeply feel their loss, but are graciously sustained by the blessed hope. He was among the first that embraced the present truth in this State and held on to the same to the end.
His funeral was attended on the 8th by a large circle of mourners and kind sympathizing friends who followed him to his last resting place to await the voice of the archangel and the trump of God to call forth all that sleep in Jesus to receive a rich reward. We believe that this affliction will be sanctified to the future good of the saints in this vicinity by leading them to a closer walk with God and perfect and entire consecration of all to his service, and a more thorough preparation for the glorious first resurrection. E. L. Barr.
N. Dartmouth, June 12th 1850.
