““*On Sunday evening I found her much weaker in body, but her soul was full of life and vigour. When I came in, she said, “ I am exceeding glad you are come. Now let us rejoice together. We shall meet together in heaven. I am washed in the blood of the Lamb: JI know (Ciod is. my Father: I know my name is written in heaven: there we shall all rejoice together.” She was never satisfied with giving thanks; not suffering me to rise from my knees, but holding me by my hands when | wanted to rise. “¢ About eight Mrs. W---- came in, and told us Mr. C---- W---- was come to town. She then broke out into prayer for him, for Mr. J--- W---, and for the society. Afterward she prayed for the Q----,rs, that , God would deliver them from all darkness of mind, covetousness, pride, and the love of the world. She continued praying till near twelve o’clock, speaking with a clear, strong voice; although, whenever she ceased speak-. ing, she seemed just dying away. About twelve she cried out, ‘“ Lord, forgive me! What shall I do to be saved?” I was astonished to hear her voice so changed ; and asked, “‘ My dear, what is it distresses you?” She answered, “I feel anger toward Peggy.” (That was the maid’s name.) “ Lord, forgive me! Lord, lay not this sin to my charge!” We went to prayer together ; and, after a time, she said, “ Help me to bless and thank the Lord. I find sweet refreshments from him. . He is reconciled again.” And from that hour she found no more darkness. ““¢She then began praying for her parents, her sisters, and brother 3 adding, “ Do pray, that God would restrain him from the evils of this world. I have been restrained from a child. I never could play as other children did.” Toward morning she dozed a little; but all the intervals. she spent in praise and thanksgiving, still speaking with as clear and strong a voice as if she had been in health.
