KELLOGG.--In Wheaton, Ill, March 3, 1885, Carrie Stetson Kellogg, aged 7 years 5 months; and March 19, Blanchard Kellogg, aged 9 years 4 months, second daughter and eldest son of H. L.(Henry Lyman) and N. E. (Nora Emily Blanchard) Kellogg.

"They fell, like two young trees, which the traveler passed in the morning and wondered how they grew so lovely. The blast of the desert came and laid their
green heads low. He returned at morn. They were withered and their branches were bare."

Carrie, though but seven years old, had the experience of a mature Christian. She once requested prayers that she might recover, but was perfectly calm and reconciled to die. She said she "wished they might all go to heaven together," and as the hour drew high she hoped "Jesus would come and get her quick."

Her brother had read the Bible through by course, soon after his eight birth day. With the consent of his parents and the recommendation of the pastor, he was to have presented himself, with his older sister, to the College Church for admission to its membership as its last communion. But at the time the footstep of death was already in their home. When told that he had diphtheria, his even filled and his mother encouraged him that his illness might be light. "It isn't that," he replied, "but who will see to my work?" He seemed to have a presentment that he would die; was perfectly clear minded, andbeckoned answers when past speech. Just before that he awoke and looked as if he expected to see some one. "Do you wish anything?" said his mother. "I want to see Jesus," he
replied. He again closed his eyes and soon said: "Momma, I am going to die; I want you and papa should sit by me." These were his last words. Isaiah 65:20 -- "The child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall die accursed."
