Many years ago she made the Saviour her trust, and in later life, especially, the Bible was her daily study and consolation. During her last sickness, which was attended by extreme suffering, she manifested entire resignation to the Divine will, and although at times oppressed by doubts and fears, calmly awaited the approach of death in the sure and certain hope of a glorious immortality. Her religious sympathies and associations during the greater part of her life were mainly with the Wesleyan Methodists, whose welfare and benevolent efforts ever shared her interest and support, latterly, however, she often attended Baptist preaching. Her charity was unbounded and she loved all who served the Lord. When the cardinal truths of the Gospel are firmly held and relied upon, the human character is sometimes exhibited in a light more than ordinarily interesting, as it is usually divested of the blighting effects of bigotry and uncharitable feeling.
