OBITUARY.

By Frederick Wheeler

FELL asleep in Jesus in the town of Manlius, Onondaga Co., N. Y., Sept. 12, 1860, sister Eliza Scoville, aged sixty years. Sister S. had been a believer in the third angel's message about nine years. Her life was a daily exemplification of the power and excellency of present truth.
Most of the time during her protracted sickness of about five months, her sufferings were very great, her disease being sciatic rheumatism. But all her sufferings were borne with Christian patience; and she died like one sinking into a quiet sleep. By this death an aged and widowed mother has lost an affectionate child, one to whom she looked for care in her old age. Five children have lost a kind mother; and a large circle of relatives have parted with one who was dear to them, and the church one of its most active members. But they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Her funeral was held on the 14th, and a discourse given by the writer from 1 Thess. iv, 18. F. WHEELER.
