She moved at ease among all sorts and hearts, bearing their burdens, and binding up their wounds. till :.t length. commenting hT soul in well-doing unto a faithful Creator, committing her way to Him both for this life and for whatever might lie beyond it, she passed with no anxious fear from our sight, but not from His unto whom all live"
