often edified those people she lived
with; ^ and it was by these means she felt
the first imprission of our Saviour's
love towards her. -- Living near the
Sisters House she was often visited by
them, and had the favour to go in
and out amongst them, whereby she
got a desire to belong to the Brns
Congn. Her Father being agreable
to it, both she and her sister obtained
leave to live in the sisters:^oeconomy at Little More
and moved thither March 14th 1792,
where she enjoyed manyy blessings,
especially in attending the meetings at
Fulnek. When that Oeconomy broke
up, in 1794, she with some more sisters
moved to Wyke. She would rather

she dated her the foundation of ^her happiness
which was laid more deep and sure in the all atoning

Redeemer. Nov. 30th the same year she
was rec'd into the Congregation , and Jan. 10th 1796
had the favour to partake for the first
time of the Holy Communion, and the year
following 4th of May she was rec'd into
the Single Sisters choir. Soon after this it
happened to be a very trying time,
as the Sisters could get no work for several
months, on which account many returned
to their homes; but she not being willing ^to return home,
chose to stay, if she ?? hard it tho her living should be ever
so poor. But our merciful heavenly
Father who knows the wants of all
his Children; raised up some particular
friends, who assisted them with every
thing most nessecary; so that those, whose
faith was only as a Grain of Mustard seed,
and stayed ^nevertheless was quite put to shame.
She often spoke of that period with
gratitude, and it inabled her to place
her whole dependance on our Saviour
