Such awful bereavements are frequently
attended with incalculable loss to minors,
but my all merciful God, caused them in
the sequel to work for my eternal gain.
For He who knows the end from the begin
ning, saw me (a poor ophan) lying in
my blood, (spiritual death) without any
to pity my forlorn case. Thank God, I am
now in my 76th year, & enabled to believe
that my time of love was come? This
thoughts of peace concerning me were gra
dually to be fulfilled, that my last &
dead soul should live by faith to Him on
the earth, & when his good work in me
should be finished, live with Christ in
his glorious kingdom? A most unwor
thy am I of these ever blessed prospects?
Since the call os an immortal soul from
death to life, & from darkness to light is
the most important of all events, no
incident combined with its spiritual
progress, trivial as it may appear to
carnal wisdom, will be deemed so by
by him, who has ear to hear, & eyes to
see, with a heart to understandthe mys
teries of the Kingdom of God.
