-- June, 1756.) REV. J. WESLEY’S JOURNAL. 607 many calls, even in dreams: and when we will not hear his call, it is often tus way to make us feel his rod by removing our darling from us.

The next day when I came in, and asked, “ How do you find yourself now?” She answered, “Blessed be God, very well. I know that my Redeemer lives: he is dear to me, and I am dear to him: I know he is preparing me for himself, and I shall soon be with him.” She then prayed earnestly for entire sanctification ; till a friend coming in, she said, “‘ The Lord has brought you, and all my dear friends to my remembrance: I have not forgotten you in my prayers. You must come and pray my last prayer. When you see me near my deliverance, go all to prayer, and continue therein till my spirit is gone. Let there be no crying over me; but all of you sing praises and rejoice over me.” She never once complained of her pain; but behaved from the beginning with that patience, sweetness, and love to all, that bespoke a soul which knew herself just entering into the joy of her Lord. Thus she died the next morning, August the 20th, after crying out as in ecstacy,-- “Bold J approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown through Christ my own.”
