OBITUARY.

By H. H. Wilcox

DIED of consumption, in Adams, N. Y. sister Lovina, wife of George Martin, in the 36th year of her age. She has left a companion and one child. Her aged parents, brothers and other friends deeply mourn the loss of their absent friend, but we have the best of evidence that she sleeps in Jesus, and the promise is that such the Lord will bring with him, when he comes. Our dear sister some three years ago was led to an investigation of the prophecies, also the commandments of God, and became satisfied of the truthfulness of our position, and soon commenced keeping the Sabbath.
Those that visited her on the day of her death, were deeply convicted of the reality of the Christian religion, and the grace of God, to sustain the dying Christian. She rests from her labors and her works do follow her.
"Not long will earth's bosom, Her precious form hide, And death's gloomy portals, From kindred divide; For swiftly approaching, We see the bright day, That brings the glad summons, Arise come away." H. H. WILCOX.
