Bro. C. Seaward writes from Russiaville, Ind.: "Your paper is a welcome visitor among us. There are a few of us here who continue in the faith; and we would like to have a preacher call on us this winter. We have strong opposition, and if Bro. Waggoner or some other brother will come we will recompense him."
OBITUARY.
By R. F. C.
It falls to our lot to record the death of our beloved brother, Daniel Smalley, who fell asleep on Sabbath morning, Dec. 3d, 1859, in the 78th year of his age.
His death was caused by a fall from his wagon which fractured his neck. He survived the accident till the third day, retaining his reason, and being fully conscious of his condition. He spoke of his death with composure and resignation, expressed his hope of sharing in the first resurrection, gave some directions respecting his funeral, and, near his expiring moments called for his companion, and, with a considerable effort, said, "Farewell."
From his consistent and persevering course of life, we have every reason to believe that he sleeps in Jesus, and rests under the blessing pronounced upon those that "die in the Lord from henceforth." He commenced his religious life a Presbyterian. But on discovering that his baptism (so called) was spurious, he came out and was scripturally baptized for the remission of sins. About seven years ago, learning more definitely what sin is—that it is the transgression of the law of God, the ten commandments—he heartily embraced this truth. Learning also that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ," he received it with gladness, and delighted to dwell upon this theme, looking for the speedy coming of the great Life-giver. He left a widow who deeply feels the loss of his society; but she mourns not as those who have no hope, but expects soon to meet him in immortality.
The writer of this spoke to a large and attentive congregation, at his funeral, on the subject of the resurrection, taking as a motto, 1 Thess. iv, 18. "Wherefore, comfort one another with these words."

LOUISA CHANDLER
By Louisa Chandler
Fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 28th, 1859, sister Lemira Harrington, of Claremont, N. H., in the 52d year of her age, after a short but distressing illness of eight days, which she bore with Christian patience. Her disease was billious typhoid fever of the most malignant kind. Although unable to talk but little so as to be understood, yet she gave us to understand she was sensible she could not live. She had for a number of years been trying to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We shall miss her society, yet we trust she will have a part in the first resurrection.
LOUISA CHANDLER
In Memory of Smith Clark
By M. Hull
BRO. SMITH : It has become my painful duty to record the death of our beloved brother Smith Clark, who departed this life at Ottawa, Clark Co., Iowa, Aug. 8th, 1859.
He embraced the message about eighteen months before he died, and from that time forward lived a consistent and faithful Christian. He was truly a shining light to those around him. He sleeps, but with the assurance that he would soon awake to immortality. His heart was truly engaged in the Lord's work, and he manifested it by his works. We could not have moved the tent west last spring if he had not volunteered to do it. But, he with his team, spent the busiest month in the year (June) in working for the Lord's cause.
But he rests from his labors and his works do follow him; and while his relatives and brethren mourn his loss, they "sorrow not as those which have no hope."
May this affliction be sanctified to the good of surviving friends.

P. S. This notice should have appeared before this, but unavoidable circumstances hindered.

Treasures in the Last Days.
In the rebukes uttered by the apostle James against rich men [chap. v, 3], occurs this expression: "Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days." Querying as to the import of this expression, we found by reference to Greenfield, that the word translated for, is en; and en referring to time, we do not find in one instance defined for, but in. "Ye have heaped treasure together in the last days." It strikes us that the meaning of this scripture becomes more apparent, and the rebuke more pointed, with this rendering. For in the last days, even covetousness is deprived of its ordinary excuse of a necessity for providing for the future. The last days are here; and there is no distant future for which to provide.
In the last days the great day of the Lord is near, in which neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them. Well might it be said to them as Elisha said to Naaman, "Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?" 2 Kings v, 26. Why are you heaping up treasures, adding house to house and land to land? Your riches will soon be corrupted, and your garments moth-eaten, and your gold and silver cankered. Well may the divine rebukes rest especially upon men for the folly of heaping together treasures in the last days.

Note from Bro. Waggoner.
By James Harvey Waggoner
I wish to say to my correspondents that my address is not Battle Creek, and never has been. Letters sent there to me have to be re-mailed, and as the mail here has been reduced to a weekly service, there is generally a delay of that length of time. I lately received a request from a distance to preach a funeral discourse at an appointed time; I might have complied with the request if the letter had been sent to me direct. Many of my letters are sent that way, which is a loss of time and a useless tax on my friends there.
My address is Burlington, Calhoun Co., Mich.
