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

PATCH.—Died suddenly of disease of the heart, April 14, 1880, in Eden, Vt., Bro. Hiram Patch, aged 75 years. He embraced present truth about twenty-five years ago, and has tried to live and practice Bible religion. His example, prayers, and testimonies have told on the side of truth. He loved the assembly of God’s people, and in his death the church has lost a worthy member. A wife, three children, and several grandchildren are left to mourn. We trust he will have part in the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Deut. 32:9. ALBERT STONE.

GIBBS.—Died in Windsor, Eaton Co., Mich., April 30, 1880, at the home of her son, Sister Betsey Gibbs, aged 78 years, 10 months, and 20 days. She was in usual health until forty-eight hours before she died, when she was stricken by paralysis. In early life she became a Christian, and for five years past she has kept the Sabbath and been a member of the Dimondale church. She died in the faith, and her friends sorrow not as those without hope. The crowded house and the earnest attention at her funeral showed how she was respected. Sermon by the writer, from James 4:14. T. M. STEWARD.
