Obituary.

CROSS.—Died, September 8, 1883, Brother Isaac Cross, aged 76 years, 10 months, and 22 days, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. M. Shearer, Sacramento, Cal. Brother Cross was for many years a member of the Baptist Church, and embraced "present truth" at the tent-meeting which was held in Sacramento six years ago. He has fallen asleep with a full confidence in the gospel hope of a resurrection from the dead. Funeral services were held in the Calvary Baptist Church by J. Q. A. Henry, who spoke highly of the Christian life of the deceased, using as a basis for his remarks, 2 Kings 4:26. "It is well with me." W. M. HEALEY.

LIVELY.—Fell asleep, in Oakland, Cal., September 24, 1883, Mary, daughter of R. P. Lively, aged 1 year and 21 days. Death has grievously afflicted this family of late, robbing it of three of its inmates within about 14 months. First, little six-year-old Edith was taken. About six months later, the mother, Sr. Annie Lively, fell asleep, leaving little Mary and brother in the care of their grandmother, Sr. Mary Carman. Now only little Frank and his father remain. The funeral was held from the house. Words of comfort and hope were spoken by the writer. J. D. RICE.
