e most excellent of the pious females of our Society, that it has
been my privilege and happiness to number amongst my intimate friends.
Her piety was genuine, and her experience rich in the enjoyment
of close and constant communion with God. I admired her oneness of
character and disposition--ever the same; in sickness and trial, calm
and submissive, confiding in the love of the Saviour; and in health,
delighting to do good to the needy and sick; her religion was not the
excitement of momentary feeling, it was the habitual principle and
power of grace. In disposition she was kind and cheerful; but it
never degenerated into levity, and few have more fully exemplified the
Christian rule of rejoicing with those that do rejoice, and weeping

The Rev. Luke Wiseman writes: "My acquaintance with your mother was
during the last three years of her life. On arriving in the York
Circuit, she was among the first who were mentioned to me as pillars

penetration, and benevolence. Her voice was still good, her utterance
remarkably distinct, and when she spoke of the things of Christ, it
was with no subdued or half-abashed tone, but with the same full,
clear, cheerful voice. It was impossible to doubt that her heart was
full of heavenly treasure from her very manner of speaking of divine
things,--easy, energetic, unforced, graceful. I am afraid, that being
so far below her in divine knowledge, my visits may have been of but
little benefit to her: but however this may be, they were of great
benefit to myself. She shewed an ardent love for the cause of Christ,
for His ministers, and for all His people. She appeared to feel being
laid aside from active work, and amongst her many inquiries about the
Society, she would now and then utter an expression of regret, that
she was now no more amongst them as formerly. She
