Her discourse concluded by a solemn exhortation to the old, the middle aged and the young. The present life, she said, was but a moment, in which we must be renewed or be miserable forever.
In her address to the youth she observed that it was now the Lord’s day, and that we must retire to our homes, read the Bible, pray and keep the day holy. It was then she uttered these lines of Dr. Watts.
“This is the day when Christ arose
So early from the dead;
Why should I keep my eyelids closed,
And waste my hours in bed?”
After speaking much more which I cannot remember, she sang praises and left us.
Her notes were very pleasant. Her words were in no higher style than common, yet were they exceedingly impressive. MARY GORDON.
