REW.—Died in Garden City, Minn., March 12, 1880, Caroline M., wife of Bro. Enos Rew, aged 63 years. Sister R. was a person of superior mind, and the patient spirit ever manifested during the years of her sickness shows the sustaining value of the Christian’s hope. She was one of the first to embrace present truth in the State of Wisconsin. F. W. MORSE.

DOWNER.—Died at the residence of her daughter, in Augusta, Eau Claire Co., Wis., Feb. 1, 1880, Sister Julia A. Downer, wife of Milo Downer, aged 62 years. She embraced the third angel’s message about ten years ago, and to the close of her life rejoiced greatly in the truth. For several years prior to her death she was a great sufferer, but she bore her afflictions with much patience. She died hoping for eternal life when Jesus comes. I. SANBORN.

BLISS.—Died of locked-jaw, in Locke, Cayuga Co., N. Y., April 5, 1880, Sister Emma W. Bliss, wife of Eld. Geo. W. Bliss, in the 20th year of her age. With her husband, she embraced present truth about one year ago, and soon after united with the S. D. Adventist church in Genoa. She was earnest and successful in the missionary and Sabbath-school work, and we were looking forward with anticipation to the service she might yet render in the cause of the Master. The husband and two little ones have sustained a great loss, but they share the sympathies of an afflicted church and community. Discourse by Eld. A. H. Todd, Baptist minister of Tioga Center, N. Y., where she was taken for interment. Text, Job 18:15, first clause. GEO. D. BALLOU.
