IF saintliness consists in conservation, purity
and consistency of life and character, MrR OAR
byshire might certainly be numbered with the
Saints of God. She had been baptized in ;her
infancy in the Church of England; but in her
22d year she sought and found that higher bsp
tism without which all outward rites are of no
value. She Immediately took upon herself the
obligations of the Church of Christ From the
best accessible information, she first united with
the English Congregationalists, and her place Of
worship was the celebrated Tabernacle" OF
which the pious and talented, but eccentric
Matthew Wilkes was pastor. There and at Tot
tenham Court Road she heard the leading dis
senting ministers of that day, Of whom shs often
spoke She also frequently attended the services
Of the Wesleyan Methodists in London, with
which people she was connected by ties of
warmest sympathy and fellowship
When she sought a new home in America she
took caresto provide for her continued -connec.
ton with the church. Her letter was obtained,
and deposited with the Presbyterian Church, at
Macomb, Illinois, under the pastorship of Rev.
Mr. Fraser, which church was the one then ex.
listing there most nearly representing her relis
gious con yictions When she removed to Burr
lrgton,s in 1884, abe united with the Society Of
NJ E. Church, which must have been organized
Just previous to her coming She was, there
fore, among the first Methodsts Of Burlington.
Old Zion Church was not erected until four
wears after her union with the Society '''S L Tai
In 1S41, for greater convenience of worship,
she removed her membership To the society or.
ganized in the country, near her residence: but
when she returned to town, upon the death Of
her husband, in 1865, she attached herself to
the Ebenezer society," Of which she wished to
be considered member up to her death. =, ~,

covenant into which sae entered inlh her early
life, and which remained aunbrokenA till heT
