Amelia was justified in her Saviour, for she trusted in him, and
thus was she also justified before God, by her faith in Jesus. The spirit of Jesus led her in "all her way," and in whatever family she appeared, her actions and words manifested a heavenly mind. Her name is remembered with blessing in the hearts of all who knew her; her counsels, her instructions, her example, and her acts of benevolence, are continually spoken of by those who witnessed them, and it is thus that she left behind a sweet savor of holiness, like a ray of heavenly light. Dear Esther, here is an example placed before us; it has been the will of God that we should know her, that we might be charmed with her excellence, and that the happiness both of her life and death, might tempt us to imitate her. No, no, my sister, she is not dead; she is rather, as the poor workman said, at her grave, "a child of God in heaven." As _she_ followed Jesus, let us also follow her, and let her memory be thus a blessing to us both. God be with you, my dear sister. I long to see you, that we may pray the Lord together, to make us like his faithful, holy servant, the dear and pious Amelia. Yours, &c., ANNA. |
