OBITUARY.

DIED in Washington, N. H., May 4th, of consumption, sister Josephine, wife of Bro. C. R. Jones, aged 22 years. We visited her a short time before her death, and found her suffering much at times, but bearing it with patience. She conversed freely in relation to her death, believed it would be but a little while that she should rest. She expressed a warm attachment to the Saviour, could receive the promises he has left us here, and calmly rely upon them. She could realize the love Jesus has for his people, and the blessings he has in store for them. But she rests in hope. Her funeral was attended on first-day, May 6th. Quite a number of friends and neighbors assembled together to sympathize with the afflicted family, and pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. They have lain her away by the side of her mother, quietly to rest until the voice of the Son of God shall call forth the sleeping saints.

DIED in Bath, Clinton Co., Mich., April 10, 1860, Israel R. Trembly, aged 50 years. He embraced the Sabbath in 1855, under the preaching of Eld. S. T. Cranston. After he was taken sick he confessed that he had not lived consistent with his profession, and resigned himself to the will of God, and seemed willing to leave this troublesome world. He was often heard repeating scripture, and praying. His disease was lung fever. We thought him getting better when the heart disease set in and took him suddenly away, after a sickness of seven days. He seemed to have his right mind till the last, gave directions concerning his temporal business, and died like falling into a natural sleep, with a smile on his countenance, giving satisfaction that he was at peace with God. He rests in the grave till the sound of the last trump, when the righteous shall come forth clothed with immortality, to be caught up together with the living saints to meet the Lord in the air. There not being any of like faith near, the sermon was preached on the occasion by a Baptist minister from Job xiv, 14.
