Obituary Notices.

By G. G. Durfee

DIED, of consumption, in the town of Spencer, Kent Co., Mich., Dorcas Z., wife of Alfred Harlbut, aged 31 years.

Sister Harlbut embraced present truth one year and a half since, and the truth has buoyed her up through a long and lingering sickness and severe afflictions, and enabled her to live as none but a Christian can live, and to die as none but a Christian dieth, in hope of a glorious resurrection and eternal life when Jesus shall come. And although now she sleeps, we believe that she will arise at the sound of the trump when Christ shall come to make up his jewels. She leaves a husband and five small children to mourn her loss. And although the remnant church have lost a Christian sister, and the earth has inclosed a jewel for a little time, she will come forth again to life and immortality in the new earth, where we hope to meet her again.
