DIED, in Lynn, Mass., Jan. 31, 1865, of erysipelas and typhoid fever, Emma A. Hastings, aged 23 years and 7 months. Thus afflictions are our lot. But God grant that we and ours may so live that in the resurrection morn we may meet each other in the kingdom.

L. W. & M. C. HASTINGS.

DIED, in Cass, Hancock Co., Ohio, Feb. 6, 1865, James Baker, after a short illness of one week, of typhoid pneumonia, and congestion of the brain.

Bro. Baker's attention was called to present truth at the time Bro. Cornell was at Findlay with the tent, the first that was pitched in Ohio. He did not immediately embrace the truth, but took time to thoroughly investigate, before embracing it; when he did embrace it, it was with a whole heart. When the time came for a more thorough organization of the churches, he was fully awake to the subject, and was chosen Elder of the church, which office he faithfully filled until he was taken away.

He leaves a companion and five children to mourn his loss, but not without hope. In him the church has sustained a great loss.

H. JAMES KITTLE.

DIED, of consumption, in Oakland, Mich., Bro. James Snider, in the 50th year of his age.

He died in hope of a resurrection among the just. The funeral services were attended by the writer at the Oakland meeting-house, March 2nd.

R. J. LAWRENCE.

DIED, of typhoid fever, in Fletcher, Vt., December 15, 1864, Lafayette Lamb, aged 34 years, 3 months, and 23 days. He embraced the Sabbath about two years ago. A wife and a daughter are left to mourn his loss.

On Wednesday Feb. 15, 1865, the writer gave a discourse on the death of Bro. Lamb, in the brick Chapel, in Fletcher, from 1 Thess. iv, 13.
