During the time the Rev. A.E. Farrar was stationed in York, her aspirations after purity of heart reached a crisis, and she was enabled by faith to claim the promise; "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." For some time her convictions were so clear and distinct, that to use her own words she "durst not say she had not received the blessing." But this happy experience--the Christian's highest privilege on earth--was soon interrupted by doubtful reasonings; still her conscience was "Quick, as the apple of an eye, The slightest touch of sin to feel." As an instance of her conscientiousness we mention a circumstance which took place somewhere about this time. A farmer, who owed my father a considerable sum of money, had been repeatedly importuned for payment, but without effect; and it was at length given up, as a bad debt. One Sabbath morning, while she was sitting alone, he unexpectedly called to settle his account. She said, "We have nothing to do with receiving money on a Sunday; it is the Lord's day, and we do not think it right." "Well," replied the man, holding the money in his hand, "you might as well take it while you have the chance of it." But neither argument, nor expostulation, could induce her to touch the forbidden notes. The man therefore pocketed the money, and went away; but not without an admonition on keeping holy the Sabbath day. No one eventually loses anything by the maintenance of principle, and the debt was honestly discharged the following week. The solitary record of the year 1810, is contained in the following lines, which may be regarded as expressive of her own feelings. Jesus, Thy glorious name shall still My musing thought and tongue employ; Whose presence doth creation fill. Be Thou my portion and my joy. Jesus! blest source of all my hope, In whom my spirit finds its rest; Whose precious blood, inspiring thought! Hath purchased heaven to make me blest. Where can a mortal language find, To tell such love when angels fail? "God did so love the world," and died, That love by justice might prevail. Drawn by this love, a witness I, That God to all the Saviour gave; Who willing are, may testify, He can unto the utmost save.
