cheerful, yet somewhat timid reserved <sic>dispo-
-sition</sic>. -- In the beginning of 37 I received
with several others of my companions,
instruction for confirmation, or rather in
my case for Adult baptism, my
dear Mother being a <orgname>baptist</orgname> [sic] I had
consequently not received the sacrament
in infancy; but I cannot say
either the instructions or the rite
itself made any lasting impressions
upon my mind; I enjoyed the instruc-
--tions, as I did, imbibing knowledge
of any kind that came in my reach. --
Unaware almost to myself, I turned
my own mind on religon the way of
Salvation, and as might be expected
stumbled upon many errors. At one time
I was seeking the fruits of the Spirit instead of simply going to Jesus, and
at another I was fully impressed with the
idea, that tho' I was very very far from
what I ought to be as a <sic>christian</sic>, yet I
must wait the Lord's time to make
me different, I could do nothing. At this

a determination to give the Lord no rest
till he was graciously pleased to reveal
himself to me. --From this time I was much
more in earnest, but my adorable Saviour
was not my all in all; consequently the
way seemed long and heavy. I often felt inclined
to exclaim "who is sufficent for these things!
In the year 50 I received a call to be the
Warden of the Single Sisters in Fulneck,
and tho' deeply conscious of my own insuffi-
--ciency for such a post, I felt such a strong
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 work was
very pleasant, and light to me. -- The second
Year after I came to Fulneck, the texts for
