enjoying that happiness which she felt
when first impressed with our Saviours
love. Some time ago, a friend of hers
found the following verses written by
by her; "A whither should I go, burdened
"and sick and faint? & What is it keeps
"me back, from which I cannot part? &
This gave rise to a conversation in which
she complained with many tears of
the state of her heart, and confessed
that she was engaged with thoughts
and actions contrary to the mind of
the Lord. She was then directed with
all her ailments to Jesus the good
Physicion, sought his pardning grace
and obtained a reviving sence of his
mercy. The celebration of the Passion
week this year was remarkably blessed
to her, and she expressed herself concer-
ning it, to the following effect:
"Oh how shall I describe my feelings,
"the Power of Jesus blood and death
"pervaded my soul in a manner, which
"I shall never forget, in his pierced hands
"I read my pardon seated, he is mine
"and I am his, oh might nothing ever
"separate me from him!"-- She was
naturally of a weakly constitution, and
Therefore often thought, that her pil-
grimage on earth might not be long.
In the latter end of May last she was
obliged to move into the sickroom, and
growing no better, went to her parents
house to Mirfield to be nursed by them.
Her complaint appeared consumptive,
she grew rapidly worse, and tho' she
did not immidiately suppose her de-
parture to be so near at hand, felt
soon resigned to our Saviours will
declared that thro' the merits of
Jesus, her mind was at peace, begged
her parents not to grieve, and had a
lively hope of appearing in our Saviours
presence, as a pardened sinner, This
favour was granted to her Sept 3 1813
in the 24th year of her age.
