weak to stand. -- It was the last time she stood to
worship God in these His earthly courts. The ripen-
ing for eternity was now rapid. There was a craving
for the food of life; and her language was -- yet more-
- yet more- she could not be satisfied -- the cup could
not be filled to overflowing. -- All who were willing
to lead or point her to Jesus were welcome. Kind
friends were not wanting. -- To such she was grateful
to the last; and as Christ has said - "Whosoever shall
give a cup of cold water to one of the least of these my
disciples shall in no wise lose his reward, 'their
labours of love and their works shall be rewarded
hereafter.
<gap></gap>There were several whom she was always pecu-
liarly anxious to see, -- the Sisters Aunting and
Hasker[?] in particular. -- Among them was also our
dear Br. Libbey, whose conversation was relished
and whose advice was willingly and thankfully
taken. She regretted very much, she could not see him
once more before she died. In all these things we believe
her confidence was not in man, but in God. She
had many conversations with her Labouress after the
idea of her recovery had passed away. On one occasion,
upon her remarking. "She had no hope of her health
returning, and no wish that life should be prolonged;
but a desire to depart, and to be with Christ." it was
asked: upon what do you ground your hope of acceptance?
Is it on that desire to depart? or on any good in yourself?
She replied with firmness -- "oh, no." Do you feel that

cross, -- can save you from eternal death? -- "O, yes" --
she replied, that is all my hope - I have never been
able to express my feelings in words -- but I think
the power will come." She frequently desired the prayers
of her friends, and said: "She desired the company of
none but those who would converse with her on the con-
cerns of her soul." In review of her past life, the
wish that she had lived more to the glory of God
seemed to posses her mind, and fill her with hu-
mility. On a message of affection from her dear
absent Minister (Br Libbey) being given to her, --
"that he hoped she was enabled to adopt the language
of the verse [??], "In thy wounds, O Jesus" go --
she said -- "I can" -- She was sometimes tempted to
regard her bodily sufferings as a barrier between
herself and that full tide of love she longed should
flow towards Him who died to redeem her. At another
time she said -- "Yesterday I felt our Saviour be so
very precious to me." You could cast all your hopes
and fears on Him? it was asked. "Yes, I could She
then mentioned the comfort she had derived from
reading and meditating on the 16th Chapter of Saint
John's gospel. On Sunday afternoon she was very
weak and languid, and greatly dreaded the last
struggle between soul and body. She was encour-

by taking all pain away at that solemn moment, --
