It often pleases our heavenly Father to carry forward the work of divine grace, in the hearts of his children, by means, and through dispensations, altogether unfathomable to the finite comprehension of men; but the humble believer, looking beyond the changing rugged path of this life, with filial love and confidence can repose on the mercy and goodness of the Lord, and believingly apply the language of our Saviour, “What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.”
In very early life, the subject of the present brief notice was made sensible of the contriting influence of divine grace on her heart, so that many of her earliest recollections were fraught with love to her Saviour.
For many years, she was subject to attacks of illness of a very trying character, in connection with which, she was brought as into the very furnace of affliction, and earnest were her prayers, that ‘patience might have her perfect work,’ and that through faith in the wisdom of her heavenly Father, she might become fully resigned
to his holy will; and a sense of his supporting power and presence, were often mercifully granted to her, in times of severest suffering.
