"art my chief delight, and I devote most heart-

"ily soul and body unto thee. Thou knowest my

"hearts wish of late O God; do with me as

"thou choosest. Without thy blessing I dare not

"move a foot. Bless and sanctify every thought,

“wish and action. The mercy of the Lord is

"from everlasting to everlasting upon them

"that fear him, and His Righteousness unto

"childrens, to such as keep his commandment

"to do them." Thus beautifully end her

notes of the year 1825, - In the Spring

of the year 1826, it was proposed to her to

remove to Gracehill to be employed as a teach-

er in the Ladies Boarding School there.

In a letter to her brother then Director of the

Schools in that congregation- She thus

signified her acceptance of the situation: With

diversity of feelings. I this time address you, not

that I am undetermined what step to take, on the

contrary I am pleased you thought of me. I trust

I shall be aided and supported by my unseen Friend,

to discharge every duty committed to me, with

credit and satisfaction; that I may not become

an offence or stumbling stone to any person

is my sincere prayer, but may my conduct be

such as becomes a follower of Him, who was

meek and lowly." She evidently sought

the direction of the Lord in this step.
