indeed lived almost for 22 years. But what
have I been doing? -How I have done 
these things I ought not to have done.
I have been an unprofitable servant.
yet I feel my Savior is both able and
willing to love to the uttermost not all
who ask his forgiveness, and put their
trust in Him. Oh! gracious permission, 
the Lord that's in heaven permits his poor crea -
tures Him Father to call! I have today par -
taken with this congregation of the body and 
blood of my ever blessed Saviour- What a favour
bestowed on us so unworthy of such a feast, and 
so inattentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. 
Help me ever merciful Savior to be more
attentive in future to all thy invitations and 
ordinances, more forgiving to my neighbours, 
not easily offended. Teach me to bear and forbear
and above all, to be more and more thankful
for thy atonement, thy long suffering and tender 
mercies. Teach me to know myself. Let me
feel more humble. Yea, Lord, teach me now
what to pray for. I can do nothing without thee.
"Now, then, the sequel is well weighed to"
