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.
<gap></gap> She also took her place as a
Teacher in our Sunday School, and
by her prayerful and careful prepa-
ration for her work succeeded in
securing the love and gratitude of
her scholars, to whose hearts her memory
is much endeared by her valued
instructions in spiritual things. She
