I have, if I have only Him with me
For the attention of the Sisters &
friends to her in her illness, she was
truly grateful, & expressed herself
surprised at the display of love
which she witnessed.
On Sunday evening when her
Laboress told her she our Savr might would probably
very soon come & take her to himself,
she seemed still somewhat surprised that
her end should be so near; but was
free from all apprehension of the event.
Her feeling appeared to be that of the
conviction & confidence expressed
in the Hymn 1184. 2 Thou knowst &c.
- The same evening she received the
blessing of the Congn. imparted by Br
Okely after a fervent prayer for the
nearness & support of Jesus in this
hour of trial - She was not only per-
fectly conscious during this transaction
but expressed also the enjoyment &
benefit she had derived form it.
About 10 o'cl. the same evening
Jan 28th /55 whilst supported in the arms of some
the sisters the hour of her departure
came; the silver cord was loosed,
& she gently breathed her last, her
ransomed spirit departing to be with
that Lord whom she had long here
followed in faith tho' in feebleness &
with the sense of much unperfection. Her age was 77 years- May our
end be as tranquil & happy, & as
full of confidence in our unseen
but present & faithful Redeemer!

She regretted Br Libbay's absence from
the Congn at this time, much wishing to
live to see him again; as at the first,
she appeared not right to have under
stood him in his Conversat with her.
When asked if she wished to par
take of the H. Comn again, she replied
somewhat doubtfull, -- I do not rest on
that - You know He is my Bread of
Life -
