ROGERS.—Died in Oakland, February 20, 1884, Selina Rogers, of consumption, aged 45 years, 10 months, and 23 days.

Selina Percy was born in Northfield, Washtenaw Co., Mich., March 27, 1838. She was in Oakland when the "present truth" was first preached here, and was among the first who embraced it, and was baptized on the first occasion of baptism being administered here. She has been diseased for a long time, and her friends thought that she was predisposed to consumption. She attended the last campmeeting at San Jose, but left before its close on receiving a telegram that her husband was sick. She labored beyond her strength, and was soon taken down, and never rose from her bed again. She suffered much, but the "blessed hope" sustained her, and her trust in God was unwavering.

Since her conversion she lived a faithful Christian life, winning the fullest confidence and love of the church, and the respect of all who knew her. Truly we do not sorrow for her as those who have no hope.

She left a husband and other kindred to mourn her loss. Funeral services at the Adventist Church, February 22. Remarks on 2 Thess. 4:17. EDITOR.
