She said: "oh how this has refresh'd my soul and Body, I am quite
strengthened, how happy shall I be when I come to our Saviour and can
kiss his thro-bord-Feet," on the 10th Instant October, she was so weak that her
End was expected, she call'd out often "oh dearest Saviour come, come
Oh come quickly! yes, thou knowest what a poor Warm I am, that can-
not go thro much expect thou support me to bear my Pain thro
thy suffrings." She took a very Tender leave of her dear daughter
and son in law who came just time enough from Marienborn, and
said to them: "you are our Saviour's and in the Cong. He will gra-
ciously make my other Children happy likewise," She gavev
them her Maternal blessing. Some days before, she sent for her
grandchild from Niesky and bless'd him. She was very thankful
for all the Love and kindness shewn her in her Illness, and when
her weakness deprived her of the power of speech she testyfied
her love thro a tender kind look, desired a salutation to those
dear Brn and Sisters that were absent as she could not expect to
see them any more. She ask'd several, when it would be Friday
adding, "that is my choir-day, and on that day my eternal
husband will take me to himself," which happen'd accordingly.
She had her sense to the last moment, and when a verse was sung
for her she held out her Hands to embrace her martyr'd spouse and sing
allmost every word softly. A few hours before her departure, Br
Leonard came and took a tender leave of her, when it was observ'd
that her Hour drew nigh, and the hymn O head so full of bruises
was began, she call'd out in Broken accents, "he is a coming!"
and stretch'd out her Hands. Upon which was sungm "appear as my
protector" and under the last words of this verse she bow'd her head
fell asleep, with the blessing of her hoir in the 72 year of her age.
