Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, in Napa City, Cal., April 27, 1876, Nora P. B. Myers, aged 15 years and 7 months. Sister Nora was converted to the truth in March, 1874, under the labors of Bro. E. R. Jones, in Athens, Calhoun Co., Michigan. She was baptized at the camp-meeting in Battle Creek in August of that year. Soon after that meeting, the family removed to California, partly on account of the state of her health, which had been very poor for several years. She seemed steadily to improve until the last camp-meeting in Marin Co., Cal., when she over-exerted herself in climbing the hills which surround the camp-ground, and took cold, from which time she declined until her death. She was zealous for the truth, and conscientious in observing the Sabbath. She suffered very much at times, but when her pains were most severe, she would fall into a peaceful, quiet frame under the influence of prayer. She bore all with patience, and often praised God in the midst of her sufferings. We laid her in the grave, feeling that she needed rest, and consoled by the blessed hope of soon seeing her, when the Lifegiver appears, free from all the ills of mortal life. J. H. WAGGONER.
HATTIE MAY, daughter of Belle and Hall A. Cook, died at Waldo, Marion Co., Ohio, September 3, 1875, aged three years, seven months, and thirteen days. She died of bilious intermittent fever, from which she suffered patiently for about three weeks. Soon afterward she peacefully breathed her last. Her mother lives in the hope of meeting her in the city of God. Funeral discourse at Salem, Nebraska, by the writer. G. V. KILGORE.
DIED, of rheumatism of the heart, April 28, 1876, near Ithaca, Gratiot Co., Mich., Sarah, wife of Wesley Greenlee, aged 58 years. Sister Greenlee has been a member of the Ithaca church ever since its organization, some eleven years or more ago. She was found in the line of duty, whenever possible, always doing cheerfully whatever was required of her. We miss her in the church; her family miss her loving care; but if overcomers, we expect to meet her at the resurrection of the just. Funeral discourse by Bro. Squire from Job 14:14: “If a man die shall he live again?”
The Lord, descending from on high, The archangel’s trump will sound, And all the faithful dead arise, From out the opening ground. R. F. PHIPPENY.
DIED, in Dryden, Lapeer Co., Mich., April 28, 1876, the infant daughter of C. and A. Willey, aged ten months. The parents feel deeply their loss; but they sorrow not even as others which have no hope. Words of comfort from 1 Thess. 4:18, by the writer. N. M. KILLMAR.

The Promised Book.

In the report of the camp-meeting at Battle Creek, last August, published in Review, Vol. 46, No. 8, reference was made to the presence of Bro. Francesco Urgos, an Italian of noble family, who had recently embraced the truth under the labors of Bro. Bourdeau in Illinois. The promise was given that a sketch of his remarkable and thrilling experience, as prisoner of the inquisition, officer in the army of Garabaldi, traveler in the eastern countries, etc., would soon be published.
We are happy to announce that the book is now ready. Bro. Urgos is totally blind and has been in Battle Creek the past winter while his book has been going through the press, to whom every line has been carefully read. It is entitled, Thrilling Life Sketches, and the reader will find it all that its name implies. It is a work of such interest that none will want to lay it down till the book is finished.
Those who purchase this book will not only lay out their money well for themselves; but they will assist a blind brother who wishes to do something to help his Italian countrymen to see the truth. Price of the book, which contains a life-like portrait of the author, postpaid, $1.25.

Corrections to the College Pledge List

Notice.

THE REVIEW SUPPLEMENT, recently issued, purporting to contain the names of all who have pledged to our College, the amount pledged, and the amount paid, is received. In the list for Ohio we discover many mistakes. We do not wish to see this list come out in the first number of THE BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE in this condition. We propose the following remedy. Let every person whose name, pledge, amount paid, or post-office address is incorrect, write it down correctly on a slip of paper, and put it into the hands of the director of his district. Let each director take pains to get a correct list for his district and forward the same to the State secretary of T. & M. Society. Then let the secretary send to the Office a correct list for the whole State. Let there be promptness on the part of every one concerned. H. A. St. John. May 11, 1876.
