DIED, in the village of Oronoco, Minn., April 8, 1866, Nancy E. Bostwick, aged 11 months and 12 days, only daughter of Sr. Jane Bostwick. Thus within less than six years has Sr. Bostwick been called to part with a companion and three children. She is now left with only one child to journey through this world of sorrow, but not as those who have no hope. The light of revelation comes to cheer the mourner's heart, and points to that blessed morning when God's people shall be gathered home and the children shall come again from the land of the enemy.
H. F. LASHIER.
DIED, at his residence in Vevay, Ing. Co., Mich., May 9, of congestive chills, my father, R. H. Titus, in the 71st year of his age.
J. E. TITUS.
DIED, in Springbrook, Dunn Co., Wis., Apr. 18, 1866, Edgar B., son of Warren and Laura E. Sutliff, aged two years eight months and thirteen days. We bow in humble submission to the chastening rod, and ask God to raise our loved one to immortality and everlasting life.
W. SUTLIFF.
DIED, in Durand, Wis., May 13, of consumption, Isabelle Rosenburg, aged 19 years. Sister Rosenburg heard the message some time last winter, but did not come out into the truth until three or four weeks before her death, when she expressed a determination to keep the commandments. Her last days were peaceful and showed unmistakable signs of conversion. She died in hope of a glorious immortality beyond the grave.
W. SUTLIFF.
DIED, in Otsego, May 1st, 1866, Lewis H. Travers, aged 6 years, and 6 days. The disease which caused his death, was congestive chills. Lewis was an interesting member of the Sabbath School, striving for the prize. He said a short time before he died, "If I do die, God will raise me up again in a little while." God grant it may be so, and that all the rest of the scholars, and all the little Sabbath-keepers may so live, that "God will raise them up in a little while," is our prayer.
I. LELAND.
DIED, in Mannsville, N. Y., April 20, 1866, Wm. Henry Brigham, in the 47th year of his age. The circumstances of Bro. B.'s death were very afflicting. He was with us at our last Monthly Meeting at Adams' Center, full of life and hope, leaving a good testimony for the truth. Returned home with a firm determination to set his house in order, and serve his God with undivided affection. He went to his work feeling very solemn in view of the time in which we are living. At family prayer, Monday evening, he was affected to tears, pleading for his children. Tuesday, about 9 A. M., while working with a circular saw, a pile of lumber fell on him, throwing or crushing him on the saw, cutting a gash about eight inches long and three inches deep, beginning about two inches above the left ear, passing between the eye and cheek bone, touching the nose and ending just above the right corner of the mouth. He thought at first he should die at once. He exhorted his two sons to be good and meet him in Heaven. He soon lost so much blood he was helpless. I saw him that evening, he then thought he would recover. I thought the Lord would raise him up. But a fatal blow had fallen. He lingered till Friday, 8 A. M., when he went to sleep, and did not awake. He died at 4 P. M.
On first-day a large congregation met at the Methodist meeting-house, which was kindly offered, to pay the last tribute of respect, and to take him to his last resting place. He was beloved by all. He leaves a wife and four children who deeply mourn. The church feel his loss much.

"Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another."
This department of the paper is designed for the brethren and sisters to freely and fully communicate with each other respecting their hopes and determinations, conflicts and victories, attainments and desires, in the heavenly journey. Seek first a living experience and then record it, carefully and prayerfully, for the comfort and encouragement of the other members of the household of faith.

From Sr. Haskell.
BRO. WHITE: We received our Review, No. 23, just in time to take it with us as we met on Friday to unite our petitions with God's people in behalf of his afflicted servants. At the close of the meeting the article from H. C. Miller, under the title, "Our days of Fasting," was read, and met with a ready response, by reducing to practice the suggestion therein made. We as a church freely donated $8.00, for paper. There were others providentially with us that donated to the amount of $4.00. Our numbers are few, and our means limited, but we feel it a privilege to cast in our mite. We shared largely of the blessing of the Lord, especially Sabbath afternoon. We felt as though the Lord heard prayer for his afflicted servants, and was blessing them with strength, and also granting us some of the droppings from the sanctuary, of his holy Spirit, for which we felt to praise his name and take courage.

A Spirit of Deep Solemnity
By D. W. Hull
From Bro. Hull.
Bro. White: The last four days form an important era in the history of the Advent church here. Our meetings were well attended during the fast, and from the first day a spirit of deep solemnity seemed to rest upon the Lord's people here. The interest increased toward the close. Yesterday the mighty power of God was felt by all the house. Some who have been friendly to us were with us yesterday, and were almost persuaded to go with us. May the Lord help them soon to decide. They joined with God's people in their tears. The opinion is general here that the Lord is about to manifest himself to his people in mighty power.
Your brother in hope,
Fairfield, Iowa.

Comfort for Those Who Mourn
Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Death of Hannah Whitney
By A. S. Hutchins
DIED, in Brookfield, Vt., April 21, 1866, Hannah Whitney, aged 96 years, 6 months and 15 days. Sister Whitney embraced the Sabbath of the Lord when between 80 and 90 years old, which she observed with delight.
She recollected well the dark day of 1780; had long been in the service of her divine Master; and when called to lay aside the weapons of her Christian warfare, she was comforted with the bright hope of eternal life, when the Lifegiver comes.
Funeral discourse preached from Titus i, 2.
