when they plead with him for the
furtherance of his gospel, but also unto
man, by the lively & intelligent
interest she always displayed in con-
versations on the subject of Missionary
labours, and by her untiring and
successful endeavours to collect sub-
scriptions for such objects, as the <orgname>Foreign
and Home Missions</orgname>, the <orgname>Bible Society</orgname>,
and so forth. The local Committees of
these Associations will miss in her
a valued member, and a successful
Collector. We were often struck with
her correct memory of men & things
relating to Missionary enterprises,
especially those connected with our
own church, of which she was a very
consistent & attached member.

Teacher in our Sunday School, and

now rests from her labours, &
her works do follow her. Whatever
she did, she did unto the Lord,
& this imparted real worth to her
activity. Her memory is dear to
us.
When the Minister of the Congn saw
her on the evening of the so called
"Sisters' coming in day," she was
remarkably calm & cheerful in her
mind, & resigned to the Lord, who
had laid her on a bed of sickness,
while the other inmates of the
house, were holding their festive
meetings in the adjoining prayer
hall. For the visit paid to her
& the prayer offered up by her bed
side, she expressed her thanks in
a very cordial & lively manner.
Little did the Minister think, that
on his return from Crook, whither
duty called him away for several
days, he should no longer be permitted
to see her among the living.
To a fellow laborer who visited her
late on Sunday evening, & who engaged
in spiritual conversation & prayer
with the dear patient, she remarked
on his enquiry, if she felt her Saviour
near, that He was her only real
comfort & true support: "for what
should I do without him now?"
And truly He was with her in her
last hour. Her own memoir tells
us, that she knew in whom she believed.
Trusting in his merits, & saved by his
bloods hedding & death, she gently fell
asleep in Jesus to be for ever with
the Lord
