OBITUARY.

FELL asleep in Jesus on the 6th of April, in Knoxville, Iowa, Moses Long, aged fifty years, ten months and two days. His disease was lung fever, which continued nine days. He leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss, but we hope, if faithful, to meet in that land where all tears are wiped away. He joined the church when Brn. Hull and Cornell came here with the tent. Bro. Patterson made a few remarks from Rev. xiv, 13.

JOHN LONG.

FELL asleep in Jesus in Chelsea, Vt., April 22, 1861, sister Cynthia Bigelow, aged 65 years. Her disease was dropsy. She died with the blessed assurance of being made immortal at the coming of the Life-giver. She was formerly a member of the M. E. Church, but on hearing the proclamation of the Advent doctrine, she became a firm believer in its truths, and at a subsequent period was among the first in Vermont who embraced the third angel's message. The Sabbath was unto her a delight, and honorable. In her death it may well be said, that a mother in Israel has fallen. By works her faith was made perfect. The poor will ever remember her acts of charity and kindness. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
