Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”

Died, at West Union, Iowa, on the evening of Jan. 10, 1875, Anseline S., wife of Aaron South, in the 45th year of her age. The morning before her death, she was peaceful and happy, and said that all was well. Her only regrets were to leave her little children. Sister South has been about eight years a believer in all the truths of the third angel’s message, and has tried to live them out. Before her death, she called her husband and children, one by one, and faithfully warned them to get ready to meet her in Heaven, and obtained a promise from most of them that they would do so, which we hope they will not delay to fulfil. She leaves a husband, eight children, and numerous friends to mourn their loss. Nason Hoyt.

Died, Dec. 14, 1874, of black erysipelas, our dear sister Alice, wife of Bro. J. M. Kilgore, in the 27th year of her age. She leaves motherless four little ones with her husband and many warm friends to mourn their loss. But we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. She embraced the truth in the summer of 1869, under the labors of Bro. Carright and Butler when the tent was at Winterset, Iowa. Since that time she has tried to live it out in her life, and died in full hope of having a part in the first resurrection when the Life-giver shall return again. Words of comfort were spoken by Bro. Stephen Pierce. R. M. Kilgore.

Died, at Pekin, Niagara Co., N. Y., Jan. 17, 1875, John E. Timothy, aged 22 years and 3 days. This dear brother had loved God from childhood. He was baptized, when in his seventeenth year, by Eld. J. N. Andrews, and maintained a strict Christian integrity until the last. He graduated at Lockport, N. Y., with honors, and was pursuing his studies at the Michigan University until broken off by quick consumption. A noble young man has fallen at his post, beloved by all who knew him. Funeral service was held in the Methodist church at Pekin. Sermon by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. M. E. Cornell.

Died, in Northville, Ill., Jan. 3, 1875, little Hattie, adopted daughter of Bro. and sister H. Simpson, in the 5th year of her age. Sermon by the writer, from Jer. 31:15–17. T. M. Steward.

Died, in Northville, Ill., Jan. 15, 1875, Bro. Thos. Nettleingham in the 77th year of his age, after a few hours of intense suffering. He leaves good evidence that he will share in the first resurrection. His aged companion with whom he had lived 43 years is left to finish her journey alone sustained by the grace of God. The writer spoke to a large and attentive congregation convened in the Methodist meeting house in Northville, from the words of Paul, 1 Cor. 15:26. T. M. Steward.

Fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 14, 1875, in Decatur City, Iowa, of asthma and lung fever, sister Mary Jane, wife of W. B. Heath, both mutes, aged sixty-four years three months and twelve days. Sister Heath embraced Christianity forty-four years ago. Years after, becoming acquainted with the doctrine of the soon coming of the Messiah, she embraced the same. In 1872, she embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, with all her heart. Since that time, she has lived a faithful and devoted Christian, and was beloved by all who knew her. She died in hope of the first resurrection. Discourse by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13. A. Caldwell.

Died, of typhoid fever, near Quarry, Iowa, Jan. 5, 1875, America J., daughter of Samuel and Catherine Drury, aged 2 years and 9 months. The mother of this little child was buried in November last, and the father left his child with us for her future home. But death soon claimed her as his own. Prayer and a few remarks at the funeral by Father Murry, German Baptist. A. T. & L. C. Leech.

To Correspondents.

By Uriah Smith

Please harmonize 1 Tim. 2:4, with 2 Pet. 2:12. The first text reads, “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” The second reads, “But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.” How will God have all men to be saved, while some are to perish like brute beasts? I have to meet these things, and ask for light. G. M. D.

Answer. The word rendered “will have,” in 1 Tim. 2:4, is thelo (θέλω), and is defined by Greenfield, “To will, to be willing; Latin, volo; in the sense of, to desire, to wish; to require, demand, permit,” &c. According to the primary meaning of this word, there is no difficulty; for God is willing that all men should be saved, and this would be in accordance with his pleasure, as shown in his making provision for all; nevertheless, many will slight the provision, and be lost.

To M. A. B.: For comments on Matt. 10:28, see “Man’s Nature and Destiny,” pages 105–8; Job 14:22, do., chapter 6, especially page 52; Phil. 1:23, do., pages 200–10, and tract by J. N. A., entitled, “Departing and Being with Christ.” Acts 1:25 refers to Judas. Bloomfield says, “I still think the common interpretation (by which ton topon ton idion is taken to mean the place suited to him, namely, the place of destruction) is alone the true one.” We cannot see wherein John 4:24 requires any comment. Perhaps we do not fully apprehend the object of your reference to it.

Who are the host of high ones, in Isa. 24:21? G. G. D.

The text reads, “And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.” In place of punish, the margin reads, “visit upon.” The meaning of the original word is to come upon, light upon, fix upon, which does not necessarily contain the idea of punishment. The Septuagint reads, “The Lord shall lay his hand upon the order (kosmos) of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.” The Hebrew makes a distinction between the things in the height, and kings on the ground. We conclude, therefore, that punish is a wrong word, and that the text predicts what the evangelists call the shaking of the powers of heaven, which takes place in connection with the overthrow of the kings of the earth at the coming of Christ.

W. Penniman: In reply to your question, whether Sabbath-keepers can consistently engage in the butchering business or not, we would say, that we could not. The way others feel upon the subject will be owing to their previous course of life, their organization, their inclinations, and perhaps we may add, their advancement in the truth.

A. B. Griggs: Your letter, containing queries, is received. It would hardly seem worth while to answer more questions till we can agree on what have been answered. You say you “do not like Smith’s idea of Rev. 1:7,” as you think it “does not agree with Rev. 20:6; 2:11; 21:8.” You add, “There are but two resurrections; and if he raises them at the first, he will have to give them life.” You do not seem to bear in mind, that we make the resurrection of the wicked persons mentioned in Rev. 1:7, an exception. There are, it is true, but two general resurrections; and if there is not an exceptional resurrection, as we suppose, how will you account for the fact that those who pierced the Saviour, behold him at his second advent, to which Rev. 1:7, undoubtedly refers? and where will you place the partial resurrection of Dan. 12:2, in which some of both righteous and wicked are raised simultaneously, whereas in the general resurrection, these two classes are raised a thousand years apart?

Geo. A. King: The commentators take the case of the rich man and Lazarus to prove consciousness and rewards and punishments in death. The Greek was originally written without punctuation marks. The punctuation of the Greek Testaments now used, is modern, like that of the English Testament. The passage in Deut. parallel to the words to-day in Luke 23:43, is Deut. 9:1.

M. E. S. S.: Our advice would be to touch not, taste not, handle not, anything that pertains to a secret society. Have no part nor lot with any secret organization. Christ’s work can all be done, as he set the example for doing it, above board, in the light of day, and before the eyes of all people. We believe it would have been far better for the temperance cause if it had been kept clear from all secret orders.

Articles Declined: “What Man Will Do,” a review of Eld. Senscott, on the Sabbath. This follows the Elder’s arguments well, shows up his contradictions, and demolishes his positions. But as he advances no idea that is not treated upon in our publications, we think more good might be done by flooding the community where the discourse was given with tracts setting forth the truth on the Sabbath question than by examining his effort through the Review—Shall We Meet Again? Lacks signature—Sermon on Rev. 15:3, we deem hardly suitable for the paper; for however interesting the thoughts presented might be to some, we think many of the conclusions would strike the general reader as far-fetched and fanciful—Prayer: too largely composed of extracts from Scripture without an application—Signs and Omens of the Age: We can hardly believe that the abundant use of iron in our day, has anything to do with the application of the iron division of Nebuchadnezzar’s image.

Articles Accepted. Isa. 28:10—A Suggestion—What is Righteousness?—What Shall We Do with our Daughters? U. S.

Battle Creek, Mich., Fifth-day, Jan. 28, 1874.

Bro. and sister White, accompanied by Mary E. Kelsey, left Battle Creek for California, Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1875. Eld. J. H. Waggoner also goes with them to spend a season upon the Pacific Coast. They left in excellent health and spirits, and the best of courage in the good work of present truth. The prayers of the church go with them for their abundant prosperity while away, and their return in due time, richly laden with the spirit of the gospel.

Increase of War.

By Uriah Smith

One million, eight hundred and twenty thousand, eight hundred and forty, more soldiers to-day under arms in Europe than there were fifteen years ago! This does not look much like a soon-coming reign of peace, like beating swords into ploughshares, or the ushering in of the blessings of the much-talked-of millennium. Yet people will cry, Peace and safety, as Paul declared, while, so far and fast as the nations can do it, the men and implements are being made ready for the great battle of Armageddon.

The following table taken from the London Times shows the military forces of the principal European powers in 1859 and 1874, and the increase between those dates, covering a period of fifteen years:—

Testimony Number 24.

By S. N. Haskell

I HAVE read this Testimony with interest. It contains matter of importance to every believer in present truth. The perils increase and dangers thicken as we near the close of probation. The Spirit of God sees fit to give especial instruction to his people from time to time. It will be found true wisdom to give heed to all the instruction thus given. The eternal interests of God’s people are at stake. Every ray of light that relates to the dangers and our duties should be regarded with delight and hailed with joy. Thousands will be lost in the day of Judgment simply because they neglected the light which God caused to shine in their pathway. The dangers were pointed out, but they heeded them not. The Tract Societies will furnish this Testimony to their worthy poor. We recommend that it be carefully read by all.

Tug Captain Convicted of Manslaughter After Gale Collision

An English jury lately returned a verdict of manslaughter against a tug-boat captain, who, in a violent gale, cast off his hawser, and allowed six vessels he was towing to shift for themselves. A collision resulted, which caused the sinking of two vessels, and the death of a child from exposure.
