I am glad to make extracts from the sermons of many of my dear fellow helpers in the gospel, who have been working with me in this field of labour, and who have each,—one planting, and another watering, but God giving the increase;—been so honoured as to give suitable culture to a plant of the Lord, whom they will one day meet in glory, in the heavenly paradise. I also make these extracts, that we may be enabled to trace the means by which the mind of our departed friend, was furnished with food convenient for its growth in grace and holiness. ‘May 21. Attended the morning Prayer Meeting. Felt rather dead in prayer. May the Lord quicken my affections and warm my cold heart.’ ‘Mr. C. from Amos viii. 8, 9. Sermon on the Jews. He spoke much on the fulfilment of prophecy; the Lord, in various places, threatening to disperse and destroy this people, but not make a full end, &c. &c. O Blessed Lord, give me to live, that I neglect not this message, for if thou spared not the natural branches, neither wilt thou spare me if I neglect thy word. Lord, give me thy Spirit, and guide me in all my ways, for thy dear Son’s sake.’ Passing over other subjects, we may take the effect produced on her mind, by one of the social meetings before alluded to. ‘Monday Evening, Sept. 1. Attended Mrs. C.’s meeting. Mrs. C. spoke much of the Omnipresence of God. I felt the subject very much, and I was enabled to pour out my soul in prayer. Surely the Lord’s presence was with us at that time. O blessed Lord, keep me humble; empty me entirely of self, that my unworthy services may be acceptable in thy sight.’ It is plain by this passage, that she had felt the approach of temptation, but she met it in the spirit of watchfulness and prayer. On another occasion, she says, ‘I attended the meeting. I trust the Lord was with our little party, and that he will hear and answer prayer. I feel my own weakness, and utter unworthiness in approaching thee, O Lord, but look thou in mercy upon me; pardon my sins, forgive my iniquities, and let not the imperfections of my prayers render them odious in thy sight. Thou Lord, knowest my weakness; O strengthen me that I may be enabled to confess thee with more boldness; but O keep me humble.’ ‘Oct. 15. This Morning, the Rev. D. Hogarth preached from Malachi ii. 2, 3. O Blessed Jesus, do thou purify and cleanse my soul from the dross of sin, which I feel still hinders me from enjoying the light of thy countenance. O remove the veil from mine eyes, and sin from my heart, that I may see and understand what thy will is; do thou enlighten and guide me in thy way.’
