The editor is suffering this week

fact he is bed-fast part of the time,
and has slept but little for more
than a week. This will account
for the lack of our usual amount of
editorial matter in thheissue.
The following brief note from
Bro. I. G. Davidson, of Portland,
under date of 24th ult. is sad news
to us. He says : " My baby, aged
ten months, died last evening. Will
take its remains to Salem and
place along side of its mother.”
It has only been a short time since
our brother lost his dear wife, and
now eomes his darling baby. This
is a severe trial on him, and he has
our deepest sympathy. But thank
God, there is to be a resurrection
when the righteous and the babes
will be called forth to enjoy eternal
happiness.
Even now they are
being cared for in the arms of
Jesus. “ Suffer little children to
come unto Me, and forbid them not,,
for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.”
The following card from Bro.
Morrison, of Albany, under date of
24th ult. fully explains itself:
