with several others of my companions,
instruction for confirmation, or rather in

way seemed long, heard and often felt inclined

Warden of the Single Sisters in Fulneck,
and tho' deeply conscious of my own insuffi-

conviction that it was from the Lord --
I dared do no other than accept it. In the
first year I had many trials and difficulties
caused in a great measure by my own
inexperience, but afterwards my working
very pleasant, and light to me. -- The next
Year after I came to Fulneck, the texts for
