JOSEPH BATES

By Joseph Bates

FELL asleep in Jesus, sister Jane R. Ginley, of Lamont, Ottawa Co., Mich., Sept., 18, 1864, aged twenty-nine years and six months. She died of inflammation of the brain, after a distressing sickness of ten days. She leaves a companion, two children, father and mother, three sisters, five brothers, and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.

This dear sister and her companion, Dr. John H. Ginley, gladly embraced the third angel's message several years ago, since which time her strong and abiding love for its precious truths have won for her the strong affections of many Brn. and sisters with whom she was in fellowship, who also deeply mourn her loss. Said her husband, Death seemed to be an enemy to her. "Oh," said she, "must I go down to the cold grave alone?" It is so; but here is the cheering promise: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth," &c. Discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. xv, 26.
