J. M. FERGUSON

By J. M. Ferguson

Died, at Pilot Grove, Iowa, sister Elizabeth Tomlinson, aged 29 years, 2 months and 24 days. Her disease was dropsy and fever. She embraced the third angel's message under the preaching of Bro. Cornell. She suffered greatly for the last three years with the dropsy, but stood firm to the truth, and died in full hope of soon arising with those that shall hear the voice of God, when he shall call them forth to hear the covenant that he will pronounce on those that keep the Sabbath. She leaves a husband and one child to mourn her loss, but they mourn not as those that have no hope. She was much loved by all that knew her.

Died, of typhoid fever, at Shabbona Grove, DeKalb Co., Ill., Sept. 27th, 1865, Emily, daughter of Harrison and Sarah Spears, in the 16th year of her age.

We tried to comfort the bereaved family by pointing them to the blessed hope.

JOSEPH BATES

By Joseph Bates

Bro. Edward Clark, aged thirty-five years and six months, came to his death in a very sudden manner last Tuesday, the 10th instant. While in the act of stoning up and refitting an old well, about five miles from his home, the earth caved in and covered all but his head, and before any assistance could be rendered, the earth broke for some distance around the well, and covered him so deep that the friends were four hours recovering his lifeless body. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss.

Bro. C. united with the church in this place soon after Bro. Cornell lectured here, about ten years ago, and ever after manifested a strong desire to live in harmony and union with his brethren. His sudden death caused quite a sensation here, and also at the funeral service, the 12th instant.

A. S. HUTCHINS

By A. S. Hutchins

Died, in Elmore, Vt., Oct. 12, 1865, of typhoid fever, Mary M. Fife, aged eleven years, three months, and twelve days. Mary was the only daughter of Bro. and sister A. Fife. She was a lovely child, possessing a brilliant and promising mind, and won the affections of all who knew her. Many were the tears that were shed on the day that we followed her lifeless remains to the cold, silent house of the dead.

Remarks on the funeral occasion from the words, "We all do fade as a leaf." Isa. lxiv, 6.

Justice in Dahomey

WHEN a crime is committed within the kingdom of Dahomey, his majesty puts to death all suspected persons: first, because he thinks by that means he will certainly punish the right one; and, secondly, because it spares him the trouble of investigating individual cases.—Bishop Taylor.

"Begin With God."

"TAKE thy first meal with God; He is thy heavenly food; Feed with and on him. He with thee Will feast in brotherhood."

With how many of us, Christian brethren, on rising refreshed from our night's slumber, is the spiritual craving after heavenly nutriment so great that we seek it as a first necessity?

Do we spring up from our beds in the solemn dusk of the morning, while yet the bustle of the world is afar off, that we may hold undisturbed communion with Him who is our true life? Do we bend in earnest devotion over the Book of books, and feel ourselves strengthened and prepared for another day's combat with the world, the flesh, and the Devil? Do we look from our window upon the wondrous works of God's creation, and feast upon his goodness and mercy, as displayed in these, toward us?

Or do we open our eyes to the glorious dawn, with our thoughts full of the perishable objects of time; with our minds set upon the business of this mortal life? Do we hasten to our well-spread board, and satisfy our physical hunger, and wholly overlook the rich spiritual feast that is ever ready for our participation.

Do our Bibles lie useless in the dust, while newspapers and ledgers have an eager attention? and do we rush to the transactions of the busy day with no first act of consecration to Him without whom the day would not have been begun by us at all?

Let this title of Bonar's beautiful hymn be the principle of our soul. Let us strive by God's grace, not only to begin, but to continue and end, with Him who is our only joy and hope, both in this world and the world to come.

Note from Bro. Howard.

By L. L. Howard

DEAR BRO. WHITE: Bro. Cornell has just closed a course of lectures at our place. The meeting has been a success; some twelve or more have decided to keep all of God's commandments. Last evening a solemn interest was manifested in the whole audience. As for myself, after a careful study of the matter for two years, with a prayerful heart, I have come to the conclusion that the Sabbath and the third angel's message belong together, and I feel that I must do what little I can to give the solemn warning.

Yours in hope. L. L. HOWARD.

Announcement.

By J. M. Aldrich

In pursuance of certain transactions of the last General Conference, the undersigned now finds himself at Battle Creek, ready to enter upon his labors here in connection with the Publishing Association, according to his ability. His brethren and friends every where, will please take notice, that it will be his greatest pleasure to wait upon them here, and also attend to all orders with which they may favor him.

J. M. ALDRICH.

Note from Bro. Loughborough.

By John Norton Loughborough

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: The Lord has heard prayer in behalf of Bro. White. The day of fasting and prayer was a precious season to him. While others were lifting their petitions to the Lord in his behalf in different parts of the land, a few of us were trying to join with them here. Bro. White especially was happy in the Lord all through the day, and had the fullest assurance that God heard his people's prayers, and would bring him up again to labor with them. His faith has been from the first, that he should come up gradually, while the blessing of the Lord should rest upon his efforts to conform strictly to the laws of his being.

J. N. Loughborough.

Dansville, Oct. 23.

Note from Sister Gates.

By L. M. GATES

DEAR BRO. WHITE: With deep regret I have heard of your serious illness. Yourself and sister White have become so inseparably connected with the Advent people, that it is impossible for us to know that you are in affliction, and we not suffer with you. I believe, without a doubt you will recover, for future usefulness. Please accept the enclosed trifle, as a slight tribute of sympathy and affection from your unworthy sister.

L. M. GATES.

Beaver Dam, Wis., Oct. 9, 1865.

Response to a Sister

By James White

RESPONSE.—Dear Sister: We can say but little more at present than that your words of sympathy console us, your expressions of faith cheer us, and your remittance ($10,00 which we acknowledge with gratitude) proves to us the genuineness of your sympathy, and faith.

Our faith is in God, while we use those means which his wisdom and bounty have, in harmony with those laws established in our being, provided, that we shall be raised to health, activity and usefulness.

James White.

Report from Bro. Cornell.

By M. E. Cornell

I HAVE just finished a brief course of lectures at Rome. The last week was very unfavorable because of frequent storms, yet there is a good result. Sixteen subscribed for the Review, and we learned that thirteen at least were decided to keep the Sabbath. I am earnestly requested to return and hold more meetings, which I shall endeavor to do if the Lord will.

M. E. CORNELL.

Arrangements for the Portland Discussion

By M. E. Cornell

will. M. E. CORNELL.

P. S. It may be duty to state that if any of our friends should attend the discussion at Portland, it would be safest for them to go prepared to care for themselves, in part at least, because there are but a few families of our friends in the city, and they are generally in quite limited circumstances. They will provide for preachers, and as many others as they can. I know their will is good. M. E. C.
