OBITUARY.

By M. E. Cornell

DIED in Marion, Iowa, Aug. 27, sister Omira Gray, aged 65 years, nearly. She had been a member of the Baptist church over 40 years, up to last spring, when she embraced the present truth, in which she greatly rejoiced. In her last sickness she found the doctrine of Christ's soon coming and the resurrection, very especially precious. She was the mother of twelve children, all grown to man and womanhood, and all were together, at the funeral, for the first time in their lives. These with many other friends deeply feel their loss. But she rests in hope. The funeral was attended at the Christian church by a large congregation. Sermon by the writer. M. E. CORNELL.
