DIED, in Wellsville, N. Y., Aug. 14, 1865, our beloved mother, Mary Ann Green, wife of Asa Green, in the 52d year of her age. In early life she professed religion and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church, where she remained until five years since, when she embraced the soon coming of her Saviour. And in that belief she died. She was a great sufferer for the last six years of her life.
Funeral discourse by Eld. N. Fuller, from John v, 28, 29. M. P. NILES.
DIED, in Carlton, Mich., March 2, 1866, Louisa B. Fleming, formerly Louisa Bogardus, in the 21st year of her age. She was baptized Jan. 3, 1863, with twelve other young people, and united with the Battle Creek church, of which she remained a member till the time of her death. Of the number who with her took upon themselves the name of Christ, she is the third one who has been laid in the grave. Having been for some time a backslider in spiritual things, she recognized the hand of God in her affliction, stretched forth to disengage her affections from earth, and bring her nearer to him, an effect which her sickness seemed to have in a remarkable degree. She was in much distress during her two weeks' sickness, but in answer to earnest prayer, her sufferings were relieved, and she revived sufficiently to give a parting word of admonition and exhortation to each one present. Thus she fell asleep leaving with her friends satisfactory evidence that she will have a part in the first resurrection. On the occasion of the funeral, appropriate and affecting remarks were offered by Eld. Tapley, Methodist, calculated especially to arouse the young to the importance of attending in time to their eternal interests. U. S.
DIED, in St. Charles, Mich., Jan. 22, 1866, of typhoid fever, Celestia D., only daughter of Bro. Alfred and sister Catharine Spencer, aged 17 years, 8 months, and 13 days. Although unconscious at death, yet her amiable disposition, and expressions of love for the people of God and his cause, gave us a bright ray of hope in her case. D. W. MILK.\nChesaning, Mich.
Answering Objections to the Visions
By Editor
We are now devoting our attention to answering some points which are urged as objections against the visions. Having finished these, we wish to resume Thoughts on the Revelation. We therefore trust that brethren will see that the Review is so well furnished with matter, as to leave us very little occasion to write for its columns at present. We are happy to present this week an interesting and stirring variety.
The Kedzie Water Filter
By J. M. A.
THE Report of a French commission at Paris, states that "rain water is a preventive of Cholera, and that that disease has never proved an epidemic in any city where rain water is exclusively used." However true this may be, it is certain that pure water is more conducive to health than any other. The Kedzie filter removes all impurities from rain or hydrant water.
We have a few yet for sale at this Office, at manufacturer's prices: No. 4, $13,50. No. 5, $15,00.

Note from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
Bro. WHITE: Many were prevented from attending our Monthly Meeting at Convis last Sabbath by reason of the thaw which left us in the mud. We had, however, a room full of friends of truth, whose testimonies were cheering. We had also an encouraging season in attending the ordinances. The elder of the church said to me their meetings were never more interesting, nor the church more united. We felt some fear in starting in the rain and mud, with our poor health, for this meeting, but have received no harm. The next Monthly Meeting for Calhoun Co., will be held at Burlington, the first Sabbath (7) in April, at half-past 10 o'clock.

Note from Bro. Lawrence.
By H. W. Lawrence
I WOULD like to say through the Review, that my confidence in the ultimate triumph of "present truth" as held by S. D. Adventists, is unshaken. Since the death of my eldest son, our anxiety to overcome and meet the good of all ages in the kingdom, has increased. There is a feeling after the Lord among some of the afflicted believers in this section, that is encouraging. I hope to be found in harmony with the body, and prepared to endure all the tests of the future, and share with the "remnant" the final triumph.

The Meeting at Chicago.
To all brethren, and all others who are interested in the third angel's message, in the vicinity of Chicago, to whom this may come, a cordial invitation is extended, to attend the meetings to be held here Sabbath and first-day, March 17, and 18, as per notice in last Review. Come, praying the Lord to meet and bless us, and to add to us such as may be saved.
Let us know when you will come and we will try to accommodate all who may come.

Decline of Infant Baptism
DECLINE OF INFANT BAPTISM.—We find the following in an exchange on this subject: "The Minutes of the Congregational Association of Connecticut, contain some suggestive statistics. In 1864, the number of children sprinkled was 123 less than in 1863, and a smaller number than has been reported since 1857; 82 churches, with 7,421 members sprinkled no child."

Testimony on Southern Disloyalty
THE Chicago Tribune, among its news items of March 7, has the following:
The most important item in our despatches this morning is the testimony of Major General Thomas, before the Reconstruction Committee, on the status of loyalty in the Southern States. The evidence is overwhelming that the spirit of disloyalty still exists; that secret organizations, hostile to the Government, are in operation, and that they are only waiting for the opportunity of a foreign war again to carry out their treasonable schemes. This testimony is corroborated by the equally important testimony of General Swayne, General Grierson, General Howard, Miss Clara Burton and others.
Publications Available in Memphis

LETTERS SENT. W. G. Burbee.
R. F. C. An article appeared in Review No. 16, Vol. xxvi, from the same writer embodying essentially the same facts.
H. B. C. of Wis. We send you a tract entitled the Wicked Dead, which sets forth our views more fully on the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
ARTICLES DECLINED. "Letter of Condolence," we shall not be able to use. It is objectional chiefly on account of its length.—"Love to God and Love to Man." The article contains scarcely any allusion to its heading, and some of its statements are exceedingly puzzling.
ARTICLES ACCEPTED. Our Hope.—How Will it Be with Thy Soul?—For the Truth.—What I Love.—Rejoice.—I Will Come Again.—What Kind of a Recommend is it?—Short Sermon on the Fourth Commandment.

Several persons have written to us, saying that they do not understand the figures on the pasters of their Reviews, and want an explanation.
We therefore would say that said figures denote the volume and number to which the subscription is paid; and any one may readily ascertain how his subscription stands by comparing the same, with the current volume and number of his paper.
For instance, the present issue, is Vol. 27, No. 15, as will be seen by looking on the first page, immediately under the heading of the paper. At the left side the number of the volume is given, at the right, the number of the paper in the volume. Now those whose pasters show higher figures than 27-15, as for instance, 28-1, 29-10, &c., are paid in advance, while those marked less, as 27--1, 26-1, &c., are in arrears.

Notice to Delinquent Subscribers
By J. M. A.
According to our recent notice to delinquents, the names of all those not paid to Vol. xxvi, No. 1, (except those who have requested otherwise) will be dropped from our list before next week's Review is issued. The requests and remittances lately, from those in arrears have been very encouraging. Let the responses still come in. We say again, Look to the pasters on your Review.
