with very evil thoughts, yet I am kept from the power of the temptation. I rest upon God's word. He knows my weakness, and he knows my heart. Its desires are wholly his. I have given myself to him, to do with me as he pleases. His mercy to me is very great; I know he has one hand for justice, as well as one for mercy; but Christ has died for sinners. I am one, and he knows I have given myself to him. The blood of Christ cleanses from all sin. I am his.He comforts and supports me, and keeps my mind in perfect peace.' January 27th. "My dear Catherine has been observing to me, that she was not able to read her Bible to-day as usual. Yet (said she,) I did enjoy some time alone, and when I began my prayer it was sweet to me, and I was much comforted; but before I had done, I grew weary and cold, and quite lost myself.-But my dear Redeemer does not present my cold prayers as I present them to him.' January 31st. "On my trying to soothe and comfort my dear niece this morning, when she was very ill, she said, My.comfort must come from heaven. I am very ill; but I say it not to complain. I must not expect to slip away without pain or suffering. I am mercifully dealt with, and I trust and pray it may be so to the last, and that in my God's good time I shall be happy. I trust my sins are all washed away in my Redeemer's blood, and I shall stand in his righteousness. O, my aunt, what it is to have a Saviour!' February 14th. "From the day on which I last wrote to you, my dear Catherine never had on her clothes. She grew too weak to speak much, but her sweet affectionate smiles, her happy, placid countenance, spoke comfort to my heart whenever I saw her. Her sufferings, at times, are extreme, but no murmur was heard from her. Her patience never failed-her comfortable hope-her sense of mercy. Her delight in thankfulness and praise, when she was able to express it, seemed to increase with her increasing sufferings. "On the morning of the 8th, after having been very ill through the night, she desired to see the Rev. Mr. F. Before he came she fell asleep. When she awoke, aud saw him sitting by her bed, she smiled, and made signs to him to pray; and looking at him with earnestness, said, 'Patience.' He understood her meaning; and while he prayed for support in her approaching conflict, she again fell asleep. When she awoke, she desired to be taken out of bed. She was lifted to the fire-side in a chair, and then her struggle for breath became violent. I said to her, My Catherine, your sufferings are nearly over; in a very little time you will be in heaven.' She looked at me anxiously for about a minute, and then said with great hesitation, I doubt I doubt I doubt-I shall not go to heaven.' I replied, My darling, put away that thought that doubt is none of your's. Have nothing to do with it. Keep fast hold where you have hitherto been so mercifully supported.' 6 "Whilst I spake, she leaned back against the servant who stood behind her. I could not distinguish her words; but her lips, her hands, and her eyes, which were lifted up, showed she was engaged in prayer. In an instant, the sweetest smile was spread over her face. It was not a transient smile, which might proceed from an involuntary motion of the muscles; it was a bright increasing smile, a beam from heaven, which illumined her whole countenance, and continued, till all who were in the room expressed their astonishment to one another, and asked each other if ever they had seen any thing like it. As for me, all fatigue, all fear, all sorrows vanished. I was sensible of nothing but delightful thankfulness, to see the darling of my heart thus visibly rescued from the violent assaults of Satan. Presently the struggle for breath returned. I had been kneeling before her to support her, from the time she was taken out of bed. She looked at me, and said, O, my aunt, I thought I was slipping sweetly away.' Then fixing her eyes upon me for a few moments, she flung her arms around my neck, and, laying her head upon my shoulder, almost instantly expired.” Vol. III.-No. II.
