OBITUARY.

By Stephen Pierce

Fell asleep the 24th inst., Charlie H., infant son of Bro. L. B. Lockwood, aged seven months and seventeen days. Discourse on the occasion from Jer. xxxi, 15-17, to an attentive audience. But this bereft family mourn not as those who have no hope. We have comforting evidence that such children will come again from the land of the enemy, and there is hope in their end, that they shall come again to their own border.

This is the second time within eight months that this beloved family have been bereft of its inmates by the inroads of death, indicating to us that it is a family whom Jesus loves, because he has taken occasion to rebuke and chasten.

Stephen Pierce. Waitsfield, Vt., Oct. 28th, 1857.
