forget the precious seasons enjoyed on that sick bed.  Little George will tell you about it, if you should ever see him.  I think he will always remember some sweet conversations I had with him, on the state of his soul, at that time.  Dear child! his mind was very tender, and he would weep on account of his sins, and would kneel down and pray with all the fervor and simplicity of childhood.  He used to read the Bible to me every day, and commit little hymns to memory by my bedside. * * It pleased my Heavenly Father to raise me up again, although I was for a long time very weak.  As soon as I was able, I commenced riding on horseback, and used to take a long ride every morning before sunrise.  After a patient trial, I found that riding improved my health; though many times I should have become discouraged and given it up, but for the perseverance of my husband.  After riding almost every day, for four or five months, I found my health so much improved, and gained strength so fast, that I began to think walking might be substituted.  About this time, my nice little pony died, and we commenced a regular system of exercise on foot, walking at a rapid pace, far over the hills beyond the town, before the sun was up, every morning.  We have continued this perseveringly up to the present time; and, during these years, my health has been better than at any time previous, since my arrival in India; and my constitution seems to have undergone an entire renovation.”

Of the severest trial to which Mrs. Judson was called during the remainder of her life she gives an account in the following eloquent words:  “After deliberation, accompanied with tears, and agony and prayers, I came to the conviction that it was my duty to send away my only child, my darling George, and yesterday he bade me a long farewell....  Oh I shall never forget his looks, as he stood by the door, and gazed at me for the last time.  His eyes were filling with tears, and his little face red with suppressed emotion.  But he subdued his feelings, and it
