Obituary Notices.

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

MARTIN.—Died at Otsego, Mich., Feb. 10, 1880, Clara M., wife of John Martin. At the time of her death, Sister Martin was 51 years of age. Her disease was dropsical consumption. Though a great sufferer, she seemed to be perfectly reconciled to her death, and gave good evidence of a well-founded hope in Christ. The funeral discourse was delivered by the writer. W. H. LITTLEJOHN.

BENNETT.—Died of pneumonia and inflammation of the bowels, near Windsor, Ill., Jan. 16, 1880, George R., son of Geo. and M. J. Bennett, aged 9 years, 6 months, and 17 days. His sufferings, though only for a few days, were very great; but he evinced a patient thoughtfulness beyond his years. Just before he died he sang very distinctly and feelingly:—

“Oh! the Lamb, the Lamb, the loving Lamb, The Lamb on Calvary; The Lamb that was slain, yet lives again To intercede for me.”

He was a bright, dutiful boy, and learned very fast. We have the blessed hope that he sleeps in Jesus, and we patiently wait to be reunited at the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by Eld. P. Warren, Disciple minister. GEO. BENNETT.
