Earlier text: IOWA“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”—Rev. 14:13. MCYOUNG.—Lydia C., wife of James McYoung, died in Afton, Iowa, March 1, 1882, aged thirty-eight years and twenty days. Sister McYoung leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her loss. On the occasion of the funeral, the writer spoke words of comfort from Rev. 14:13 to as large and attentive a congregation as was ever in the Adventist church in Afton. Sister McYoung had many friends, who hope to meet her in the resurrection of the just. A. W. H. MILLARD. WETHERBEE.—Died of consumption, in Bledsoe Co., Tenn., Jan. 21, 1882, John R. Wetherbee, son of H. A. and Margaret Wetherbee, aged nineteen years, nine months, and six days. He made a profession of religion last summer, and was baptized by Bro. Moyers. His whole soul was in the work of preparing for the Judgment. He will sleep a little while, and then we trust that Jesus will come to crown him with immortal life in the Paradise of God. MARGARET WETHERBEE. BATTIN.—Died of scarlet fever, at the residence of his father-in-law, in Wasioja, Minn., March 7, 1882, our very dear brother, Eld. Newton Battin, aged twenty-six years, three months, and fifteen days. He was ill only five days. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn their loss. Eld. Battin had just closed a series of meetings in Milton township, and came home the day before he was taken sick. Thus within one week from the time he was enjoying apparent health, this dear brother was laid in an untimely grave; so brittle is the thread of life. On account of sickness in the family, and his friends living at a distance, the funeral services were deferred until some future time. L. M. ELLIS. JACOBSON.—Died of diphtheria, Dec. 31, 1881, in Oak Valley, Otter Tail Co., Minn., our little boy, Frank Jasper Jacobson, aged four years, four months, and one day. Before he was taken sick, he talked of his brothers whose obituary notices were in the Review of Jan. 31. He would say, “Well, Julius and Bertie will be alive in Heaven some day; and then I can see them.” On his dying bed he sang, “Shall We Gather at the River?” We hope to gather there with our little ones. Also Jan. 15, of the same disease, our daughter, Paulina May Jacobson, aged eleven years, three months, and twenty-two days. Paulina and Julius were much attached to each other. They studied their Sabbath-school lessons together, and recited them at home, as they could not go to Sabbath-school. When Paulina was scarcely able to speak, she cleared her throat, and sang in a clear voice, “We Are Going Home To-morrow.” In eight short weeks we have laid four of our dear children in the grave, and in a little over five years have buried seven,—all of the younger children. We have but three left. Our hearts and home are sad and lonely, but we feel to say with Job, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, and blessed be the name of the Lord.” MRS. C. JACOBSON. SUNDAY, MARCH 12.—A new Socialistic organization called “The Church of the Self-Savers,” held services in Chicago to-day. Several leading members of the party advanced their godless views. —George C. Miln, in his farewell address to the members of Unity Church, Chicago, made a trenchant attack on Unitarianism. —The St. Petersburg Golos, the most influential journal in Russia, denounces the Pan-Slavist war agitation. —A fire in Meriden, Miss., destroyed property to the value of $45,000. —The Austrians have gained possession of Crivoscie, in Herzegovina, and it is confidently believed that the rebellion will speedily terminate. —In Canton Co., N. C., 60 members of a Baptist church have been won to Mormonism by missionaries of that persuasion. —At Bloomingdale, a suburb of Patterson, N. J., 1,700 hands employed at the rubber works went out on a strike yesterday. —A message from the sea, found near Fortress Monroe, Va., reports the probable loss of the schooner Fleetwing off St. Charles. It is not dated. MONDAY, MARCH 13.—The anniversary of the assassination of the Czar of Russia was observed by religious services in St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, London, and Constantinople. —The damage to the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad from the recent floods is estimated at from $500,000 to $750,000. —It is reported that an earthquake has occurred at Costa Rica, South America. Several buildings were destroyed, but no lives lost. —Letters from Ireland state that the peasants are availing themselves of the land act, and affairs in that country are improving. But acts of violence have not entirely ceased. On the 11th inst., a farmer and his wife were fired at in Feacle, County Clare, and it is believed they will not survive. —The Sub-Committee on Internal Revenue at Washington have agreed to a bill which lowers the tax on whisky to 50 cents a gallon, and by that and other reductions will reduce the internal revenue about $60,000,000. —Queen Victoria, in expressing her gratitude to the people for the outburst of loyalty and devotion which resulted from the recent attempt on her life, reminds her subjects that other lives besides hers were jeopardized, and acknowledges the goodness of God in sparing them, particularly that of her daughter, the Princess Beatrice. TUESDAY, MARCH 14.—The House of Representatives has passed Senator Edmund’s anti-polygamy bill, which had previously passed the Senate. —In the fighting connected with the occupation of the district of Crivoscie, the Austrians are reported to have lost 200 men. They intend that the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina shall be permanent. The Minister of War has announced that the troops will not be withdrawn, and that the frontier will be fortified. —French law-makers are considering the subject of compulsory education. —The story, published throughout the civilized world some months ago, that the King of Ashantee massacred 200 maidens to mix their blood with the mortar for his new palace, is denied by his son. —The Montenegrin army has been mobilized. It may possibly result in an anti-Austrian demonstration. —After the militia were called out, at Omaha, Neb., the labor troubles were soon quieted, but not before one man had lost his life. —A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., gives an account of a shooting affray that took place in connection with labor troubles at Homestead. Two officers were approaching a crowd, when they were fired upon by men concealed in cattle cars. Neither of the men are fatally hurt. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15.—The London Times editorially says: “War between Austria and Russia is always a possibility, but at present there is not, we trust, serious peril. The establishment of the Servian kingdom under Austrian auspices is an important guarantee of peace. Nor is the Slavonic storm likely yet to break upon Germany. We have reason to believe that Bismarck has no fears in that direction, and he neither expects an attack nor intends to strike.” —By an explosion in a shoe factory at Lynn, Mass., six persons lost their lives, and a number of others were seriously injured. The proprietors were aware of the bad condition of the boiler, and will probably be held responsible for the accident. —Mr. Lowell, American Minister at London, has responded to inquiries relative to the imprisonment of Irish Americans by the British government, that, so far as he could discover, the prisoners had broken the laws, and were therefore belligerents. THURSDAY, MARCH 16.—Telegrams received by way of London state that the Czar has indirectly treated with the Nihilist leaders, and that in return for immunity from assassination, he extends imperial clemency to the prisoners recently tried at St. Petersburg, and now under various sentences. —Skobeleff, instead of being imprisoned at Wilna, as reported earlier in the week, has been lionized since his return to St. Petersburg. He still insists that the Czar indorses his Paris speech. —The Grand Jury have found indictments against 20 of the leaders in the labor riots at Omaha, Neb. FRIDAY, MARCH 17.—Jay Gould to-day purchased real estate in New York City valued at $1,000,000. —While Sergeant Mason, who made an unsuccessful attempt on the life of Guiteau, has been summarily removed to the Albany penitentiary, Guiteau is reported as improving in health and spirits. It is also said that he is making nearly $50 a day from the sale of his autographs and portraits. —The condition of things in the flooded district is growing worse instead of better. It is estimated that there are 85,000 persons in the submerged section who are entirely dependent on government rations. Published by the S. D. A. Publishing Association, and for Sale at this Office.

It has met with remarkable success, both in England and in this country, some twenty-five editions having already been distributed. Printed in large, clear type, with all the copious notes of the author, the marginal references, and an index. 1 vol., 8vo., 1,258 pages. Price, post-paid, $1.75. Address.
