and her children in the Orphan house,
but I for my part had no inclination
for it, but chose to stay with my Grand
father in Berthelsdorf. After a few years
my Uncle in Lobenstein desired me to
come and live with him, which I
was very glad of. I was there above a
year, but did not find it so agreeable
as I thought, and I prayed may times
with tears to the Lord, to help me away
again, which he graciously did. For it
happened at this time that the late
Count came to Ebersdorf and my Uncle
had an oppertunity to see him; and
hearing told him that I was very unhap-
py here; on hearing this he took me
under his care, & sent me to Marienborn
to the Orphan house; I prayed to the
Lord to preserve me here & make me
happy, & that I never might come to
///
any other place except among the Brethren,
because I was sometimes enticed by my
Uncle to go back with him to his home.
At that time during a severe sickness
which I got, I learned to pray earnestly
for my happiness. I found many friends
here who wish'd me well and to see me pros-
per for our Savior; particularly one Sister
will always be remember'd by me, who,
when I had recovered, took me with
her into the garden, and kneeling down
with me, put up a fervent prayer in
my behalf to our Savior, which I shall
never forget. But it was not sufficient to
make me happy; because I must feel
my Saviors comfort & forgiveness for my
own heart, & this happened in a very
particular manner. Being once quite
alone in a place I fell down at his feet
& implored his mercy & forgiveness for all
my sins thro' his precious blood. At
that time I felt something, which I
cannot express, his comfort to my troub-
led soul and his mercy shown to me,
