good & faithful servant, enter
thou into the joy of thy Lord!"
As a fellow laborer & member of our
Elders' Conference, our dear St [Sister] Fletcher
was much esteemed by us all, for
the candour of her mind, & her
strictly conscientious discharge of
her official duties. She would ever
openly & clearly state her views on
any subject she was interested in,
& in case of a difference of opinion
firmly & faithfully maintain her
cause, without however in the least
being self opinionated or obstinate.
Her warm interest in the Lords work
& the spread of His kingdom, both
at home & abroad, she quietly,
yet continuously manifested, not
only unto the Searcher of hearts, who
delights to hear the prayers of his
people, when they plead with him
for the furtherance of his gospel, but
also unto man, by the lively & intelligent
interest she always displayed in
conversations on the subject of
missionary labours, & by her untiring
& successful endeavours, to collect
subscriptions for such objects, as the
Foreign & Home Missions, the Bible
Society & so forth. The local committees
of these associations, will miss in her
a valued member, & a successful
collector.
