The following lines were found among her papers, written in her own hand :

Many are the trials and the conflicts the spiritual mind has to sustain, before it can enter the promised land, but if it endure to the end, it shall obtain the prize.

"The foundation of God standeth sure, having this precious and unbroken seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.' Strive manfully to enter into the strait gate, for many are the hindrances and besetments with which the adversary of the soul's happiness will invade it, and endeavour to turn it into the broad road of eternal destruction.

"O bring more and more of thy children under thy yoke; make them think thy yoke easy, and thy burden light; make them follow thee and thy faithful ones for ever and ever. Have mercy and forgive the sins of thy children, and the out-steppings of thy chosen ones. Encourage, O Lord, I beseech thee, them that are heavy laden, help them through the waters of affliction, support them over all that it is thy

will to put upon them: Thou wilt have mercy and not sacrifice: Thou wilt have compassion

on the children of men; O look down with compassion upon them, for thou art merciful, long-suffering, patient in mercy!"

FINIS.
