Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.

DIED, in Bloomfield, Waushara Co., Wis., May 20, 1867, from inflammation of the lungs, Adah Zillah, only daughter of Bro. and sister H. Mikkelsen, aged 2 years and 13 days. She suffered much for twelve days, until death made an end of her sufferings. Soon the last trump shall call her from the dusty bed. May those who loved her here, prepare to meet her with joy when Jesus comes.

John Matteson.

DIED, in Fremont, Mich., March 20, 1867, of spinal meningitis, our darling son Reuben R. Guilford, aged 7 years and 8 months. We miss him much, yet we have hope of meeting again.

W. W. & L. M. Guilford.

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Winfield, Montcalm Co., Mich., April 24, 1867, after a short illness of about two weeks, our dear sister Flora Ellen Rust, aged, 17 years, 6 months and 19 days.

Sister Ellen embraced the truth about three and a half years ago, and was baptized by Elder Frisbie. She had been very backward and cold this past winter, but seemed to be warned of her approaching sickness, and sought the Lord with all her heart. He was found of her, and she became very happy even upon her dying bed, declaring that her peace was like a river. Her faith was perfectly triumphant, and we know, if faithful, we shall meet her in the resurrection morn, when she will come up with a glorious and incorruptible body. This is a very heavy blow to us all, and especially to her aged, widowed mother, who had only about four months previously consigned her youngest son to the dusty tomb; but the blessed hope is ours in both cases. A feeling and appropriate sermon on the occasion by Eld. N. B. Selleck, Methodist minister, from Rev. xiv, 13.

Death has been here and borne away A sister from our side, Just in the morning of her days, Younger than we she died. Not long ago she filled her place Around our social board, But now she's run her mortal race And waits her coming Lord.

E. G. Rust.

DIED, at New Haven, Minn., May 1, 1867, Isabel Campbell, daughter of Cornelius and S. Campbell, aged two years and twenty-three days. Little Isabel only two days before her death sung “My home is not below.” Her sweet voice is now lost in death; but when the Master calls she will spring to life again no more to die. Remarks by the writer.
