“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died of quick consumption, at the home of father Morrel, near Serena, La Salle county, Ill., Aug. 3, 1878, Eld. J. E. Morin, aged 26 years. Bro. M. was a Frenchman by birth, well educated in the French language, and a man of more than ordinary ability. He embraced the Sabbath about three years ago in the State of New York, and was ordained at the camp meeting at Kankakee, Ill., two years ago this month. Before he died, he made a full confession of some errors in his religious course which had crippled his usefulness, and he died in the full faith of the third angel’s message and the soon-coming of Christ. Although he died away from home, in a foreign land, with not a relative to follow him to the grave, yet he was surrounded by kind friends and good brethren, who did everything possible for him, and mourned his decease. Discourse by the writer, from John 3:16. J. F. Ballenger.
Died of consumption, at Partello, Mich., Sept. 2, 1878, Sr. Harriet Siebolt, aged 38 years. Sr. Siebolt embraced the present truth six years ago. She was a confirmed invalid for many years; but though she scarcely ever heard a sermon upon the Advent faith, she was a consistent and earnest believer. The last act of her life was to consecrate to the English mission the sum of fifty dollars and fifty cents (receipted in last week’s REVIEW), saved up by painful labor and care. Such an offering will be blessed. On the occasion of the funeral, a discourse was delivered by Eld. J. Slogan, of Olivet, to a large audience of sympathizing friends. One more awaits the coming of the Lifegiver. D. H. Lamson.
Christena, daughter of Reuben and Susannah Worick, died of diphtheria, in Center township, Jewell county, Kansas, Sept. 27, 1878, aged 12 years, 6 months, and 2 days. She was born in Cadiz, Green county, Wis. Her sufferings were intense the most of the time for ten or eleven days. We have good reason to believe that she will have part in the first resurrection. Reuben and Susannah Worick.
Died, in Genoa, N. Y., Sept. 24, 1878, Sr. Betsey A. Lane, wife of Bro. E. S. Lane, aged 44 years. Her death was sudden, and her physician could not assign a cause for it. Sr. Lane had been a firm, consistent believer in the third angel’s message for twenty-five years. A large circle of neighbors and relatives deeply feel their loss, and while the church mourn, they live in hope of a glad meeting in the resurrection morning. Geo. D. Ballou.
Died, in Brunswick, Maine, June 30, 1878, Sr. Lettie Walker, daughter of Stephen and Joan Walker, aged 16 years and 11 months.
“Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest,
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour,
That manifests the Saviour’s power”
Discourse by the writer. R. S. Weber.
Died of congestive chills, near Sigourney, Iowa, Sept. 14, 1878, Edward A. Hilton, aged 25 years. Also his wife, Charlotte Hilton, died Sept. 18, 1878, aged 19 years. Sr. H. was a daughter of our beloved brother and sister, Thomas and Almira Smith; but they sorrow not as those that have no hope. Funeral services in the Christian church. Discourse by the writer from John 11:25. J. Bartlett.
Died, near Savoy, Texas, Aug. 23 and 31, my dear sisters, Sue A. Tedrow, aged 28 years, 4 months, and 14 days, and Mattie J. Flowers, aged 18 years and 5 months, daughters of T. J. and Martha A. Flowers. We know our sisters sleep in Jesus, to await the resurrection morn. Sister Sue received present truth in the fall of 1873, under the labors of Bre. Rogers and Cook, in Lafayette county, Mo. She died of consumption. Sister Mattie was very much afflicted. She could neither walk nor talk. We mourn not as those without hope. Rockie Flowers.
Died, in Milford, N. H., Oct. 2, 1878, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Freeman S. Stowell. The deceased was born in Washington, N. H., and was for many years a member of the S. D. A. church in that place. She leaves a companion and six children, who deeply feel their loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. H. I. S.
Meeting at Wellsville, N. Y.
By B. L. Whitney
We are able to state that all persons coming over the Erie R. R. to attend the meeting to be held at Wellsville, Nov. 9-11, will receive return tickets at one-third the regular fare. Pay full fare to the meeting, and the reduction will be made on return fare. We are very glad to secure this reduction, as it will considerably lessen the expense to those who wish to attend from Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, as well as from the East.
We hope to see a full attendance of the brethren from this part of the State. We also urge the brethren in Pennsylvania to make a special effort to attend. We shall probably have the same help as at the State meeting, and we are anxious that those who cannot attend that meeting on account of the distance shall avail themselves of this privilege. This meeting has been appointed to accommodate them, and we hope they will improve the opportunity. Let us have a general rally. B. L. WHITNEY.

New Pamphlet on Systematic Benevolence Published
By James White
“Systematic Benevolence, The Bible Plan of Raising Means to Support the Gospel,” is the title of a new work of 72 pp. on the important subject above mentioned.
The subject has been carefully considered during the past year by the General Conference Committee. It was laid before the General Conference held at Battle Creek, Oct. 2–13, when a committee of five was appointed to prepare the work for the press. It is now ready. It is published by the General Conference. Price, 10 copies, post-paid, for one dollar. Single copy, 15 cts. It is designed that a copy shall be put into the hands of every S. D. Adventist who can read the English language. All are invited to assist in its circulation. Donations to meet the expenses of the work are solicited. The entire proceeds will be put into the General Conference treasury, which is $1,500 in debt. J. W.
Elder J. N. Andrews on Absence from New York Meetings
By John Nevins Andrews
Notice.
It is impossible for me to say whether I can be present at the meetings appointed for New York. My daughter Mary is in so critical a state of health that it is at present impossible for me to leave her. She seems to have quick consumption. Will our brethren remember her in their prayers. J. N. A.
Correction to Review and Herald Office Report
By Editor
CORRECTION.—In the report of the work of the Office on page 124 of last week's REVIEW, a couple of dollar signs ($) surreptitiously slipped through the fingers of printers, proof-readers, and editor, and took their position before some rows of figures which were designed simply to show the number of pages of books printed, thus ridiculously transforming them into dollars. We did not design to say that we, in three-quarters of the year last past, had printed fifteen million dollars' worth of books more than the Crisis office had issued during the whole year, but only fifteen million more pages of books and tracts. Those signs were so evidently misnumbers that we have no doubt all our readers have treated them as such.
The Work in Ohio.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
ACCORDING to the request of the Ohio Conference that the General Conference would appoint a president for that Conference, I have been appointed to that office. And as it was voted that the president of the Conference should be the president of the T. and M. Society and of the S. S. Association, these offices will devolve upon me.
All these things will involve a large amount of hard work to bring the Conference up where it should be; but by the blessing of God and the co-operation of our brethren, it can be done, it must be done. Eld. A. O. Burrill goes with me to assist in the work.
We shall begin at Bowling Green, Friday evening, Nov. 1, and continue there two Sabbaths. Any requests or business may be directed to me at this place.
D. M. CANRIGHT.
Important Meetings.
By S. N. Haskell
We wish to call attention to the meetings which are appointed to be held in N. Y. If it is consistent, Eld. J. N. Andrews and Eld. J. N. Loughborough will attend these meetings on their way to Europe. This, besides the important matters to be considered at these meetings, will make them doubly interesting. We therefore look for a general attendance.

To the Michigan Conference Church Clerks.
By A. B. Owen
The secretary of the General Conference says in his report of the annual session of that body, in the last REVIEW, that he has received no report of the standing of the Michigan Conference for the past year.
The facts in the case are these: Only sixty reports from church clerks in Michigan have been received this year, and as a summary of these would give only half the actual standing of the Conference, it was thought best to leave the figures as they were last year.
Now, the church clerks will see, that, in order to make a report of the standing of the Conference, the State secretary must have a report from every church in the State, and he would earnestly request that the delinquent clerks at once send in the reports which they failed to send to the Conference, and that all attend to this matter punctually in the future.

North-Western Kansas Camp-Meeting.
By Smith Sharp
The meeting opened well Wednesday evening, Oct. 16. From 150 to 200 Sabbath-keepers are in attendance. Good attention is given to the word spoken, and the brethren and sisters take hold well in the prayer-meetings. We expect help from the General Conference to-day. The weather is beautiful.

The Health Annual.
By M. Wood
Last year many of the noble workers in our missionary corps complained on account of not receiving the Annuals in time to dispose of them in advance of the drug almanacs. We would say, dear friends, This year we are on time. We have on hand a liberal supply of Annuals. Send in your orders. Our State secretary, Sr. Eliza Thayer, South Lancaster, Mass., will fill all orders with promptness, and will consider it a privilege to do so.
The Annual for 1879 far surpasses anything of the kind we have ever had. The secular papers speak of it in the highest terms. Let us use the Annual, brethren, as an entering wedge for other publications devoted to the Master's cause. M. Wood.
