The doubts which have so long filled

place to them: I will look away from myself--from my sins--to the
holy Lamb of God. I will trust wholly in him and in his merits alone
for acceptance."
"_Sunday, Aug. 8._ What I have done to-day would once have seemed
impossible, the cross that I have taken up would have seemed almost
insupportable. I could not have believed the last time I attended the
prayer-meeting that at the next one I should stand up as a witness for
Christ. But thank God! my proud heart has in some degree been humbled,
and the dearest hope I now cherish is, that Christ may not be ashamed
to confess me before his Father and all the holy angels."

the great Resurrection morn; and the thought that that meeting was so
near--that in a very little while the grave should lose its power and
that she would come forth robed in immortal beauty, filled my soul
with transport and almost brought to my lips the yearning cry, 'Come,
Lord Jesus, and come quickly.
