say, "I
am going to get the start of you, I am called home before you; it will
be your office to fulfil our engagement." When she sat by her bedside,
Mrs. Graham said, "Your face is very pleasant to me, my friend."

During Saturday night, a lethargy appeared to be overpowering her
frame. On Sabbath morning she was disposed to constant slumber;
observing Mr. B---- looking at her with agitation, she was roused from
her heaviness, and stretching her arms towards him and embracing him,
she said, "My dear, dear son, I am going to leave you; I am going to
my Saviour." "I know," he replied, "that when you do go from us, it
will be to the Saviour; but, my dear mother, it may not be the Lord's
time now to call you to himself." "Yes," said she, "now is the time;
and Oh, I could weep for sin." Her words were accompanied with her
tears. "Have you any doubts, then, my dear friend?" asked Mrs.
Chrystie. "Oh no," replied Mrs. Graham; and looking at Mr. and Mrs.
B---- as they wept, "My dear children, I have no more doubt of going
to my Saviour, than if I were already in his arms; my guilt is all
transferred; he has cancelled all I owed. Yet I could weep for sins
against so good a God: it seems to me as if there must be weeping even
in heaven for sin."

After this she entered into conversation with her friends,
mentioning portions of scripture and favorite hymns which had been
subjects of much comfort and joy to her. Some of these she had
transcribed into a little book, calling them her "victuals" prepared
for crossing over Jordan; she committed them to memory, and often
called them to remembrance as her songs in the night when sleep had
deserted her. She then got Mr. B---- to read to her some of these
portions, especially the eighty-second hymn of Newton's third book:

"Let us love, and sing, and wonder;
Let us praise the Saviour's name:
He has hushed the law's loud thunder,
He has quenched mount Sinai's flame:
He has washed us with his blood,
He has brought us nigh to God," etc.

Mrs. Graham then fell asleep, nor did she awaken until the voice
of the Rev. Dr. Mason roused her. They had a very affectionate
interview, which he has partly described in the excellent sermon he
delivered after her decease. She expressed to him her hope as founded
altogether on the redemption that is in Jesus Christ: were she left to
depend on the merit
