the meetings as she used to do,
which her was a great trial to her.
She was however able to go about
in the house, tho' at last with
great difficulty, till the 6th
of this month, when she had to
be confined to the sickroom, her
weakness increased rapidly; tho'
she did not think that her de-
parture was so near, she felt
resigned to our Saviours will,
saying: "My times are in his hands
"I can say do nothing but pray
"to him to receive me, a poor
"and worthless sinner, in mercy,
"and I am sure he will." -
On the 13th she called to mind the
blessings she had often enjoyed on
that great memorial day, and
particularly what she had felt the
first time, when she celebrated it
55 years ago, during the singing of
that verse:
O Church, how many hast thu yet
Who do not love the Saviour?
Who do not think his burden light
Nor his sweet yoke a favour!
O ye, who don't stand well with him,
Do ye long for redemption?
Now, now, is for you the right time
Come all without exception.
She spent the following days mostly
in a slumber, and when she awoke
between, she only complained on
great weakness, she often folded
her hands, as being ingaged in
prayers, when the lipps no more
could say; and on the 16th it
pleased the Lord to call her to
himself in a gentle and happy
manner. Aged 71. 6 1/2 Month.
Among the saints in light;
Behold our Sister seated:
Her faith now lost in sight
Her happiness compleated:
