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 that
either the instructions or the rite
itself made any lasting impressions
upon my mind; I enjoyed the instruc-
--tions, as I did, imbibing knowledge

Unaware almost to myself, I formed
my own views on religon the way of

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 <add>heavy</add>. <add>I</add> often felt inclined
to exclaim "who is sufficent for these things!
In the <date>year 50</date> 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
