But some persons are disposed to say, Why always think of Africa, and foreign lands? Why not turn your attention more to home? In answer to which inquiry, I would simply say, that I believe it to be capable of the most indisputable proof that, as a general rule, the best friends of Africa are the best philanthropists at home. The fact is, that Christian love is expansive in its character, and cannot be chained down to one locality. And of this we have just parted with a noble proof. She was zealous for Africa, but there was no neglect of her own neighbourhood. Let the fishermen all along the coast bear their testimony, and it must be to her zeal and energy for their good. Let the lads who used to meet on Sunday afternoons for instruction bear their witness to the reality of her Christian perseverance. Let the young women of the village, and the school children that were privileged to meet for instruction every morning at the cottage, let them give their evidence, and it must be to the most steady and affectionate perseverance for their welfare. Oh! that these lessons may be now remembered! Oh! that the voice may be listened to from the grave, and that the seed so carefully sown may be found to spring up to present holiness and future blessedness in Christ Jesus! Nor was this limited to purely religious effort. Look back upon her deep interest in all that befell the shipping. Remember her energy with reference to her gun. Recall her energetic figure seated on the cliff in the midst of the storm, to stimulate the efforts of those who were endeavouring to save the shipwrecked sailors. Recall all this, and remember that it was done in the midst of physical infirmity and pain, that might well have justified an indulgent consideration of self. If any one might have claimed exemption from active effort it was she. If any one might have pleaded disability it was she; and her conduct is a noble evidence of the power of the heart to overcome the body, and a splendid proof that faith and zeal never recognize impediments, except as fresh incentives to energetic activity for God.
