pattern of order, early rising, diligence, promptitude, and punctuality.  Possessing inward peace, she was calm, self-possessed, firm, and full of trust in the providence of God.  Doing one thing at a time, and always intent upon doing that thing well, she accomplished a great amount of holy service; was seldom in a hurry, and always in time at the Sanctuary and Class-meeting.  With such traits of character, and modes of action, it will not excite surprise that she became a centre of religions influence in the community to which she belonged.  The sick sought her prayers, persons in spiritual distress, and temporal perplexity, applied to her for advice; the poor appealed to her for relief, the young listened to her counsels, and those who were intent upon obtaining a full salvation, coveted her friendship, strove to imbibe her spirit, and to imitate her example.

“In age and feebleness extreme, she was divinely supported by her Saviour’s might; and was cheered by His love, and the hope of beholding His glory.  No murmuring word escaped her lips, no sign of impatience was visible in her appearance and manner; but expressions of gratitude, praise, and thanksgiving, flowed from her tongue, and indicated the peacefulness and purity of her mind.  On her death-bed I found her calmly resting on the merits of her Redeemer.  Her countenance was full of interest, a placid smile rested upon it, and but for her laborious breathing, and interrupted utterances, hopes might have been entertained that she would yet be spared, she was herself hopefully waiting the hour of her dismissal; yet there was one earthly wish, which she breathed out in meek submission to her heavenly Father, not yet gratified; that was, that she might once more see her Missionary son, before she quitted the clay tabernacle.  Prayer was offered, and among other petitions it was urged, that her maternal desire might be granted.  She lingered on the border land, till he arrived, and soon after having kissed him, and blessed all present, she fell asleep in Jesus; the last accents of her lips being those of praise, adoration, and filial confidence.”

We conclude these notices by the following kind words of condolence from the Rev. M.C.  Taylor.

“I cannot resist saying how much I was affected by the tidings of the passing away of your sainted mother; not that I could mourn for her, but I felt deprived and bereaved of one of the most lovely and touching pictures of grace I have ever seen; and I mourned for myself.  Her name and memory are an inheritance indeed.  To have known her will be an honour and joy for ever,—­to have belonged to her is more than great riches.  Hundreds are this week glorifying God in her.”
