Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth” Rev. 14:13.

ARNDT.—Died of typhoid fever, Nov. 3, 1879, Sister Alice R. Arndt, aged 22 years and 5 months. Sister Alice was clerk of the Troy church at the time of her death. She lived and died at the home of her parents, in the township of Sullivan, Ashland Co., Ohio. During the last days of her sickness she suffered extremely, but was constantly sustained by the grace of God, and the Christian’s hope. She embraced the present truth during a series of meetings held by the writer in Sullivan, in the spring of 1877, since which time she has been a faithful worker and a devoted Christian. The church and Sabbath-school sustain a great loss, and they deeply feel it. She was greatly beloved by all. She leaves brothers, sisters, and aged parents to mourn their loss. Funeral services at the U. B. church in Troy, which was well filled with sympathizing friends and a large circle of mourners. Sermon by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13. H. A. St. John.

LOW.—Died of typho-malarial fever, near Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 12, 1879, Sister Jennie Low, second daughter of Rufus and Ellen Low, aged 17 years, 10 months, and 12 days. Sister Jennie, with the rest of the family, embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths a little more than one year ago, under the labors of Eld. Geo. J. Butler, and she has since lived a very devoted and exemplary life. She was beloved by all who knew her. The church and family realize that in her death they have sustained a loss. While we mourn, it is not as others who have no hope. “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” Funeral services conducted by the writer; discourse from Rev. 14:13. J. G. Wood.

HALE.—Died in Norridgewock, Me., Oct. 24, 1879, Bro. Wellington Hale, aged 65 years and 5 months. He embraced the third angel’s message under the labors of Elds. J. N. Andrews and M. E. Cornell, and his faith never wavered to the last. From the time he professed religion till his death, he was a constant reader of the Bible, never allowing a year to pass without reading it through. Very patiently he bore his sickness, which was distressing, believing that in a little while the Lord would come, and that he should awake and sing “O death, where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory?” He leaves a wife and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss. Funeral discourse from 1 Cor. 15:21–23. Chas. Stratton.

SANDBORN.—Died of diphtheria, in Sippewa, Mich., Sept. 2, 1879, Lida, daughter of C. and S. Sandborn, aged 4 years, 8 months, and 10 days. Lida early learned to love the Sabbath-school, and a short time before her death repeated her lesson, which she was in the habit of learning well. F. Howe.

BAUER.—Died of croup, near Palermo, Kan., Nov. 7, 1879, our son, Edson Bauer, aged 3 years and 4 months. We feel that we have met with a great loss, for our little one was a promising child; but we are comforted with the blessed hope that our Saviour is soon to come, when our darling will be restored to our embrace. CHRISTIAN AND HATTIE BAUER.
