OBITUARY.

By J. E. Titus

Fell asleep in Jesus, Sabbath morning, Jan. 5, of consumption, Bro. Ira B. Woodin, in the forty-third year of his age.

Bro. Woodin received the third angel's message under the preaching of Bro. M. E. Cornell some seven years since, and it is believed that he earnestly strove to do the will of the Lord at all times. He endured as seeing Him who is invisible, and thanked the Lord for patience, for the "patience of the saints." His sufferings are over, and the promise in Rev. xiv, 13 is his. He leaves a widow and a daughter to mourn his loss. At his burial the 90th psalm was read, and a few appropriate remarks made concerning the first resurrection, by Eld. J. Warner, of this place.

J. E. TITUS.

Sylvan, Washt. Co., Mich.

P. S. If some messenger should pass through this place, sister Woodin would be glad to have him stop and preach a funeral discourse.
