" and if she sees that we are faithful in it, she will help us in it, and thereby we shall love our Savior very much and give Him our whole heart. She likes to see the child disposed for our Savior. She takes the children with her into a corner and speak so with them, she says : My child, look now to our Savior, see him bleeding on the cross for you. Then when we look at Him, it makes the heart melt and the eyes overflow with sinner like Tears. The mother is a very faithful heart to the children, she loves them and  is very very kind to them."
     Last January he moved with 2 other Boys into the middle boys room, and parted with his old companions with pain and reluctance, but was soon at home among his new ones, and spent the short time that he was with them here below in his usual happy Course.
     It seemed that he had an intimation of going to our Savior a good while ago, for last year after a burial, a Brother came into his Room and asked if they also wished to go to our Savior, and who among them would be the first? he replied : I don't know, but I know that I shall go home in the small pox, which he likewise repeated 3 weeks ago with a smiling countenance.
On the 9th Instant he also got this disorder and was brought into the sick room, his fever was directly very high so that he was soon besides himself. He had a vast number of pox and his disorder seemed from the beginning critical, during his Intervals his connexion with our Savior was evident on the 17th his spitting stopped and he got a violent cough; and his happy disolution seemed to approach apace. He had much pain in the midst of which on the 20th he declared, that our Savior was near his heart, and when the Brethern sung verses for him he joined with them with a faultring Tongue. To day his Brother Lewis and Little Home, who lay blind of the Pox in the same Room with Him, sung verses for Him, as though it were his birthday. Upon the Bretherns speaking to Him about the Happiness which he should soon enjoy, I'd see our dear Savior and his precious wounds personally and to be always about Him, and in the midst of so many other  children who were with their beloved, he smiled and made a circle with his Hand as if he saw them placed before Him; and he promised to kiss the wounded feet of our Savior for all the children and Brethren and desired Brother Miller to send a kiss from him to his papa and mama. About 10 o'clock a  Brother asked him if he would go to our Savior? Yes, he said, this afternoon. We wondered whether it would be so, for we scarcely thought that he could stay  a quarter of an hour longer in the body, yet he tarried according to his

Promise till half an hour after 1, when his mouth grew paled, in Jesus's arms and on his breath, and his soul took flight to his beloved Bridegroom with the blessing of the whole occonemy, and during a happy liturgy with these verses: Now strikes my  hour, now runs My spring, the blood stream now does roll and, Honey from those lips of his, which is the limbs last oil and pale drips! Keep him upon the heart. Yay thou  holy tormented body do unto him as Elisha did. He is  the child and on very day when his brother John went home in the occonemy here having spent this dying life 9 years 3 months and 8 days..
