“The Lord took her some weeks ago, after a lingering illness, with considerable physical suffering; but the dear, aged sister’s mind showed wonderful clearness almost to the last, and her whole thought was Christ.
It was very sweet to hear her repeating passages of Scripture, and evidently finding great joy in them to the last. It was a beautiful witness to the superiority of what we have in Christ, to all else. She was very deaf, blind and helpless. All that the world depends upon for its joys was gone for her; and yet she found the joy she had in Christ did not fail.
How priceless the portion we have in the Lord! And in these dark, degenerate days, when men seem more and more determined to have nothing to do with Christ, how great His grace to us is, in causing us to know Himself in some measure, and to feel the drawing power of His love over us!”
