The testimony of this letter to the character of Elizabeth, as a servant, is remarkable. ‘Not one ruffle or ripple in the even stream of her temper,’ of this naturally anxious, and even fretful, girl. ‘Never upset or put out by any hasty order or word:’ ‘_consistent obedience_:’ ‘humility and quiet contentment in her situation in life,’ marking all her course.

It contains chiefly notes of sermons which she heard, and of the impression which they produced on her mind. How happy it is when the soul is brought so to hunger and thirst after righteousness, that it feeds upon all the food which is presented to it; when the means of grace are used not without profit, when sermons are listened to, and applied to the heart, when the word of God is read, and marked, and inwardly digested, so that the hope of everlasting life is embraced, and held fast.
