he ever liveth to make intercession for them,’ Heb. 7:21-25.  ’Christ glorified not himself to be made a high-priest, but He that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee; as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’  Heb. 5:5, 6.  ’For the law maketh men high-priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.’  Heb. 7:28.  ’The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ:  He is Lord of all.  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.  To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.’” Acts 10:36-38, 43.

How well she was qualified to give instruction to young disciples, will appear in the following letters to two, who died shortly after of consumption.

To Miss Van Wyck, New York.

“ROCKAWAY, 1810.

“MY DEAR, MY BELOVED ELIZA—­Mr. and Mrs. B——­ are here on a visit for one night.  I did not expect to see them so soon, or I would have had a letter ready.  I expect another opportunity in the course of a few days, when I will send you a long letter, from my heart, and, I hope, dictated by your and my Teacher.

“I learn by my children that you continue much in the same way in which I left you.  It is your own God who mixes your cup, and it is to you a cup of blessing; there is no curse in it.  Your Jesus drank that cup to the very dregs, that bitter as well as sweet might be to you a cup of blessing.  O then, my darling, hold fast by your Redeemer:  he is the Lord your righteousness, and the Lord your strength; he connects your profit with his own glory.  You shall in this protracted affliction manifest it, and hold out the word of life to those around you.* You shall witness for him that he is the Lord, and besides him there is no Saviour—­that he gathers the lambs in his arms, and carries them in his bosom—­that he is to them a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest—­as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.  That it is he that teacheth them to profit, and leadeth them by the way that they should go, and that in due time he will perfect all that concerns them.  Farewell.

This prediction was remarkably fulfilled in the experience of this dear young saint; an interesting account of whose illness and death was published in the Christian’s Magazine, and afterwards as a Tract.

“Yours with affection,

“I.  GRAHAM.”

To the same.

“ROCKAWAY, Sabbath, 1810.

“MY DEAR, MY BELOVED ELIZA—­I wrote you a few lines yesterday by Mr. B——.  I now propose to fulfil my promise.  I expect an opportunity to-morrow or next day, for I saw a great many carriages pass this way to the tavern, as I suppose, from New York.  It is a common thing with some to come here on Saturday and return on Monday, to spend this blessed day in pastime.  You would not, I know, exchange situation’s with them; you would rather be suffering than sinning.
