that they may be made perfect in one.' The breakers were all behind me ;-before me there was not a ripple on the shore; how strange that I feared death!"

On the last morning of her life, a beloved cousin was admitted to her bedside; to whom she spoke for some time of the precious experience then granted her, calmly and in her natural voice, though often pausing for breath. The following memorandum, penned at the time, gives some account of this interview. "After kissing me she said, 'I wanted to tell thee that I have not needed thee, nor indeed any outward help (referring to a physical fear of dying expressed some months before,) the fear of death is so entirely taken away, and I seem to have passed over into what I can hardly tell. It is not rapture, neither do peace nor joy nor rest alone express it. It is just perfect-perfect-perfect-' Then as if taking a glance backward over her life, she acknowledged how much Divine support she had been favoured with, amid occasional outward trials and darkness. Now there is nothing but a sense of unutterable love-all love-such oneness-so entire, that it seems like living the 17th chapter of John. Again, referring to the sustaining and comforting sense of Divine love,

she cradled her arms, saying, ' He is carrying me like this, dear.'”

After this visit she sent messages of love, encouragement, or advice to different beloved ones, and evidently had more such remembrances on her mind, if time and strength had permitted their expression. Thus for a few hours, her heart full of love to God and man, she hovered on the verge of the new existence into which she was so gently ushered,-and, conscious and collected to the very last, with most of her children around her, quietly fell asleep on the afternoon of Fourth day, the 2nd of 4th month, 1874.

and the late Elizabeth Casson.

Not being of a strong bodily constitution, she appears to have been early taught in the school of Christ. Her illness was short. One of her companions writes: "Last week I only saw her in an evening, and fearing she would tire herself by talking, I generally persuaded her to be still. Her face as she lay was often lighted up by a beautiful smile, which I felt convinced was of Heaven, not of Earth. The Sunday before she died, I spent a few hours with her. She said, the doctor had told her she would not get better; and she did not feel unhappy, but thankful to her Heavenly Father for sparing her dear friends the pain of seeing her in constant suffering. She said, God had given her everything to make this life happy, the kindest and tenderest of relations and friends: and although she loved them dearly, she did not feel it hard now to give them up, because she simply wished to do cheerfully and
