weight of guilt upon me, that I often
felt I must sink under it, or that I should
lose my senses; I stood a guilty hell deserving
sinner, and felt that I must be lost, if my
Saviour had not died for me; but I could
take no comfort, the promises were as tho'
I had never heard them, except occasionally
a text such as "I will not always strive For I will not contend with
man forever [illegible - crossed out?] least the Spirit which I have made
should fail before me" was as a little gleam
of sunshine, and then the cloud passed
over again--I remained in this state of
mind some Weeks, till one sunday evening
the text was from some part of John's first
Epistle, but what chapter or verse I have
no recollection from the distressed state of
my mind. --During the sermon I earnestly
besought the Lord to reveal himself to me,
And he did, the peace and joy that I felt
that night, none but a pardoned sinner
can have any conception of --I had not a
shadow of a doubt of my acceptance in the
Beloved. And tho' God has not at all times
[page break]
been in my thoughts, yet my beloved
Saviour has never suffered my feet to slide
O thou who hast begun a good work in
me, do thou perfect it unto the end.
Oh do thou empty me of myself, and fill
me with thyself -- be thou my all in all
<date>1857</date> I again devote myself body soul &
spirit unto thee dear Saviour, but oh
do thou keep me, thou know'st how weak
and frail I am, how prone to stray from
thee, and how contrary I continually act
to thy mind.

In addition to what our late Sister
has stated her fellow laborer adds
the following on behalf of herself
& the choir, & can truly say, that
both she and every inmate of the
house, feel that they have lost
in our late Sister, a sincere and
valued friend & conscientious
Christian.
