from the class to prayer: thus did she habitually draw fresh supplies of light and life from above; and when the seed was sown, her unwearied supplications followed it. Indeed she was a great lover of prayer, and often continued in that exercise on her knees for such a length of time, (white her strength would admit of it,) that I have sometimes gone into her chamber to remind her how long she had been, fearing she would injure her body; but on such occasions she has sweetly smiled, and said, “I shall be none the worse for prayer; come, kneel down by me, let us pray together.” At another of these times, she has said, “No, not leave off praying yet; my dear husband used to say, _let me wrestle till I die_. I can’t leave off yet, but come and join me; great things are promised where two agree to ask in the name of Jesus.” Many of these times have become seasons of peculiar advantage: _my_ soul has cause to praise the Lord both for her private, social, and public exercises. A paper containing some short hints for prayer, which I found in a testament that lay by her the last week of her life, I will here insert. She begins, first in the morning, by asking permission to throw herself again at the feet of her most gracious loving Saviour, and to praise him for preserving her from every evil through the night, and for having brought her to another day. She notes as subjects of praise, a degree of ease, eye-sight, hearing, the use of her limbs and understanding; and then names, as heads for supplication, the power to walk with God, to take up every cross, and to watch the tongue. _Second time of private prayer_. Intercession for our relations in England, Switzerland, Aleppo, &c. for the spirit of prayer, light into my state of soul, increase of faith, for power never to offend with my tongue, with praise and acts of resignation. _Third time_. For a _ready_ mind to do all the commands of my God, for deep humility, to be brought into the entire region of love, by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that nothing may remain in my soul but pure love alone; for faithfulness in the use of every talent; light and liberty in the meetings, and a special blessing on every member thereof; for the children, the ministry, and the whole parish. _Fourth time_. Praise for the mercies of the day, intreaties for a spiritual night; that the Lord would fulfil that promise, “I will bless them that bless thee,” first, by returning all the kindness they have shewn to me; secondly, by repaying any injuries I may have rendered to any by thought, word, or deed, if on earth by such blessings as are most for their good, if in heaven by adding to their crown so much more for what they had suffered from me.
