OBITUARY.

By Charles Woodman

DIED May 4, 1862, in Byron, Me., of spinal disease after a painful illness of fourteen weeks, Miriam Edwina, youngest child of Richard and Miriam Taylor, aged eleven years and three months. She was a reader of, and much interested in, the Youth's Instructor, and had kept the Sabbath when at home with her parents. She had made up her mind to keep the Sabbath in the future under all circumstances. She seemed to love God's word while she was sick, and requested it read to her every day. She was also anxious to hear the truth preached, and thought the prayers of God's servants would do her more good than medicine. We trust that Bro. and sister Taylor sorrow not as those without hope, inasmuch as the promise is, "Thy children shall come again from the land of the enemy." And although she now sleeps in her quiet resting-place incapable of joy or sorrow, they hope to meet her in the morning of the resurrection clothed with immortality. It is our prayer that this bereavement may be sanctified to the good of the family. A funeral discourse was delivered on the occasion by Eld. E. Haggett.
