in the Place she was appointed for that
purpose, where she served with faith
fulness for several years; and the Children
committed to her care loved and respected
her much. July 27th 1768 she was ac
cepted an Acoloth. Her she spent her time
amongs us in a general way happy;
she placed her her confidence in our
Saviour with Childlike reliance, and
when she spoke of his Goodness and mercy
towards her, her Eyes overflowed with
tears, to attend the meeting was her
hearts delight and nothing would grieve
her more; then when she was not able deprived
to attent? of that blessing To do good and assist others
in whatever she could was her greatest
pleasure. Of late years, age and infermi
tie increasing, she was an Inhabitant
of the Sickroom tho she was able to go
about. Apr 17th 1810 the unfortuned circum
stance happened, when she was left
alone for about 5 minutes, her Cloths
took fire, and she was much hurt.
However every thing being done to help
her, we were in hopes she would get over
it, but it proved in vain. Her
patience under her heavy suffering and afflic
tion and her heartmoving prayers which
she often put up to our Saviour,
was an edification to all who vi
sited her; she was very grateful to those
whose waited on her and watched with
her; and wished no body to miss as she
loved all dearly and liked to see them.--
June 16th her sufferings increasing much
she prayed fervendly to our Saviour, soon
to take her to himself; and being very
desirous to receive the blessing for
her departure, while she was sensible
to it, this request was granted her,
during on this occation our Saviour pre,
sense was sensibly felt, and she prayed
with uplifted hands: Dear Saviour!
"come soon; thy mercy is my only plea
"thy stripes, thy sounds and a agony, have
"healed me poor worthless sinner, O
"take my soul to rest, come soon,
"come soon!" After this she lay mostly
still, and the 19th it pleased our Saviour
to release her from all her pain and to trans
late her into the mentions of bliss.
Aged 81 years. 8 months--
