I am inclined to think, that the 24th of last July will not be forgotten by a large proportion of the great numbers who crowded to hear her: she explained the 25th chapter of Matthew’s Gospel. It was the last monday night she was able to speak to a listening crowd of attentive hearers, some of whom had come many miles, but did not think much of the pains they took, because of the spiritual good they derived from the opportunity. I remember she spoke in a peculiarly striking manner on the necessity of being born again. When she came to the 13th verse, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh,” and from the following verses respecting the Talents, she enlarged much; powerfully insisting upon the right use of the understanding, will, mind, or memory, with every affection; the right application of time, with every penny of money; and the watching over the tongue, which she observed might enjoy the honor of being God’s advocate, but for want of watchfulness was, as the Apostle expresses it, “set on fire of hell.” But it is in vain for me to attempt to repeat any part of what at that time was felt in many hearts. She continued to meet her classes occasionally, as she had strength for it, until the middle of October. Her two o’clock sabbath-day meeting she spoke at on the last sabbath of September: this was her last public engagement. Many striking proofs we have had that her labours of love in this way were not in vain; for it is certain many souls were brought to God through her. In one of her noon meetings she read some account of the opening of her room for the preaching of the gospel; and as I believe it will not be unacceptable to you, I will insert it as it was put down by one present at the time of its first being used for the good of souls, and the glory of God. The first sabbath in July, 1788, the room at the Vicarage in Madeley was opened; it had been for many years a barn, but was now fitted up for divine worship. The Rev. Melville Horne preached from I Kings, chap. ix, ver. 3. “And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made before me; I have hallowed this house which thou hast built, to put my name there, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.” He observed how great was our privilege in being so favored with places and opportunities of quietly waiting upon the Lord, and the advantage of sitting under a pure gospel; and how much would be required of them to whom so much was given. He then sweetly invited us to turn our eye towards the living Temple, in whom we should be always sure to meet the Father’s love: and, in conclusion, read the part following the text, to the 10th verse; pointing out the covenant blessing on obedience, and the certain destruction which would follow the reverse.
