Her case was peculiar; it is probable il has no
parallel. For more than fifty years she did not set
her foot upon the floor and in all that time did not
sit upright in bed One year of that time was
spent at a neighbor's house, with which exception
the extent of her travels in fifty years was from
one corner of her room to another once a week
in some strong mans arms. This change was al
ways attended with an almost entire loss of voice
from which she did not recover until after nights
repose. The best medical skill and all her patri-
mony were expended in vain, in endeavors TO
restore her TO health. The upright posture always

"Aunt Susie lived quiet retired life, but not
an idle nor useless life She was industrious

writer gone from such interviews with her and
her sister, more inclined 10 and better fitted for
his labors. She was assfuk-for she appreciated
the word of God--she stayed up the hands of her
pastors, she reoced in the conversion OF sinners,
and she was an instance of the divine faithfulness,
