Fanny, the Flower-Girl, or, Honesty Rewarded by Selina Bunbury
page 92 of 108 (85%)
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.
