DIED of consumption March 9, 1865, James Sparks, aged 40 years, 7 months and 9 days. He embraced the Sabbath when the truth was presented at Knoxville, Ia. He bore his sickness with patience. When he was told he must die, he called his family around his bed, told them his work was done, and exhorted them to keep the commandments. In the death of Bro. Sparks the church has lost an efficient working member. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. B. SUTTON.
