intrusted to her care, lead us to remark, that her treat
ment of them was quite conformable to the sentim-
ents thus expressed. Not unfrequently did she employ
their spare time, especially on the Sabbath in sing-
ing with them such Hymns, or Sacred musical pieces
as they themselves selected. this was done in an

"how prone to do that which is evil. 'Well might the
Prophet exclaim, "the heart is deceitful above all

"know my heart, try me and know each thought.
"But in thy judgement, remember mercy, and let the
"atoning blood of <persname>Jesus Christ</persname> plead and prevail in
"my behalf. I indeed long to be more closely

"charity to take possession of my sinful, but I feel 
"devoted heart. I am weak, but my <persname>heavenly Father</persname>
"is wise and all powerful." -- <date>Feb. 1, 1829</date>
