OBITUARY.

Fell asleep, in Newton, Mich., Oct. 1, 1861, Moses T. Gleason. His disease was congestive chills, so rapid in its progress that he died the fifth day from the first attack.
Bro. Gleason embraced the present truth some five years since, under the labors of Bro. Frisbie. He was then a member of the Congregational church. He had ever manifested an unshaken confidence in the soon coming of Christ, and the third angel's message to prepare the church for that event. He was always at the weekly prayer-meeting which is an example worthy of imitation by all. Bro. M. Hull gave an interesting discourse on the subject of the resurrection to a large and attentive congregation in the school-house in the district. Many were in tears. JOHN BYINGTON.
DIED, in Wright, Michigan, of dysentery, Sept. 7, 1861, Sarah A., only daughter of Bro. and sister Russell, aged 1 year, 4 months, and 16 days. These parents were suddenly bereft of their dear offspring, yet have not occasion to sorrow as do others who have no hope. R. J. FOSTER.
