The single Sr Rachel Bradley who hap,
pily departed this life Aug. 30th 1809.
has left the following short account:
I was born in Goweer in the parish
of Huddersfield Oct 15th 1742. Shortly
before I was born, my Mother began
to attend the meetings of the Brn;
and as soon as she possibly could
she took me to the meetings too, the
first time I remember having any serious
thoughts concerning our Saviour was
in my 6th year, when Br Hauptman
was Keeping as a Childrens meeting:
He spoke so movingly about the suf,
ferings & death of our Saviour that it
made a deep impression on my mind.
It being Good friday, he told us that
this was the day when the Lord died
to redeem us out of the hand of the
destroyer, telling us to pray to our Sa,
viour to make us good & happy Chil,
dren, and give us a Heart to love him.
I prayed if thought, so I will, & prayed
fervently, so that I felt him very near
