In conclusion I desire to feel thankful to my Heavenly Father, by whose
favour health has been continued, and although my eyesight is becoming
very much impaired, and my hand almost inflexible, yet I have endeavoured
to state a plain narrative of facts, not entirely as mere passing events,
at which one might cast a casual glance and then continue to journey on
the other side, affording no sympathy to our afflicted fellow-creatures
in seasons of grief and distress. I am here reminded that I lost a
sister-in-law by death: Maria, the wife of John Garner, of Lowestoft, on
the nineteenth of July, 1858, aged 40 years. Also more recent by death,
one of my own sisters, Charlotte, the wife of James Lines, of Hoxne, born
December 1st, 1810, died December 21st, 1880. May the Spirit of God stir
up the heart of the writer of these lines, as well as the readers
thereof, to a fuller sense of the love of Him, “who though he was rich,
yet for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might be
rich.” Henceforth let us not be weary in well doing, but be “followers
of them who through faith and patience inherit the promise.” “Now our
Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, even our Father, who hast loved us and
hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope, through grace,
comfort your hearts and stablish you in every good word and work,” so
will _I_ sing praise unto thy name for ever and ever, Amen.
