DIED, in Jackson, Mich., Oct. 10, 1864, Louise B., daughter of H. S. and A. E. Gurney, aged nearly fifteen years. Typhoid fever, terminating in quick consumption, in nine weeks from the commencement of their fatal work, have thus removed from Bro. and sister Gurney the leading light and comfort of their household. Though she fell asleep in hope, she will be greatly missed in the family and throughout the circle of her acquaintances. On the occasion of the funeral the attention of a sympathizing audience was called to a few of the many promises by which God designs that his people shall be sustained and comforted in such hours of trial. U. S.

DIED, Sept. 20, 1864, of consumption, after a long and severe illness, at Memphis, Mich., sister Melvina M. Lewis, aged 26 years. Sr. Lewis embraced the truth at the tent meeting in this place, and was a zealous advocate of it until her death. Friends mourn, and deeply feel her loss; but they have the consolation that she sleeps in Jesus, and will come again from the tomb at the bidding of her Redeemer, clothed with immortality. Discourse by the writer from 1. Thess. iv, 13, 14. I. D. Van Horn.
