no world, no flesh, to come and draw away the soul from God? Dear Miss G may we walk worthy of these high and glorious prospects, having our loins girt, and our lamps burning, and be like servants. waiting for their Lord! May the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, is the prayer of your poor friend in Jesus,

"ANNE MURRAY."

"Nov. 22, 1852.

'DEAR, DEAR MISS G, I received on the 6th instant your kind and welcome letter. May the Lord bless Mr B abundantly in making him feel, that although all created streams should die, His fulness can never be diminished. Oh, to drink largely here-then shall we know more of God hereafter. My dear friend, I expected ere this time to have seen the King in His beauty, and the land that is afar off,' (Isa. xxxiii. 17;) but the stone is not ready Without holiness, no man can see the

Lord.' (Heb. xii. 14.) Oh that the end may be fully answered! May I be a partaker of His holiness, having through the divine promise 'escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.' (2 Pet. i. 4.)

"I have been ill again this morning. I lost for a while the use of my right arm, but it has come back again, and I write you these lines in case I may turn worse. I may not, but I want to tell you that Jesus is very precious. I feel that in Him I am He is a sure foundation-a rock that cannot be moved; and being hid in Him, I shall never be put to shame. He became a curse for us, that we might be free, and it is upon this alone I rest.

secure.

"I return you my most grateful thanks for your kind gift, and for your care in asking Mr C to call. He gave me from himself five shillings to help me. I could not say much, but the Saviour will not forget it. 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto

the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' (Matt. xxv. 40.)

"Your dear friend Miss C

has been

very ill. Her heavenly Father is preparing her for a mansion in His house, where there will be no departing, no change, no sickness, nor any more death, for the former things will have passed away.

"Miss B has been kind. She has called very often. How gracious and kind is the Saviour, to put it into the hearts of His children to think of such a poor creature! Four weeks will soon pass away, and I trust you and dear Mrs G will come

back in safety, if it be the Divine will. It would be delightful to see you once more; but I trust we shall meet above, if it is ordered otherwise. There we shall sing so sweet and loud, and Christ will be our song. How often has this song cheered and refreshed our weary spirits below, but there it will never end!-Dear Miss G, yours

with warmest affection, ANNE MURRAY."

One grace which shone pre-eminently in Anne was humility,-"In lowliness of mind she esteemed others better than herself." (Phil. ii. 3.) There was also a respectful deference towards those above her in station, which is very often wanting even among true Christians in her position in life. She never presumed upon kindness,never seemed to forget that God had made a distinction between rich and poor, masters and servants in this world. No freedom of intercourse seemed to spoil her, and, when I remembered how far she was before me in the Christian life, it almost pained me at times to see the fear she had of forgetting our relative positions, while it was impossible not to admire this trait in her character. On one or two occasions, I remember well her sorrow, because she thought she had been, as she said, "too free." And after receiving a visit from a friend of mine, she thus wrote to me:

"Miss B

called the other day. She

is a pleasant lady, and I felt quite at home with her. I have been thinking since, perhaps I was too free. I do hope I did not use too much liberty with her, but I fear I so often fall into this error, that it troubles me, not only in respect to her, but with others."

Thus she watched jealously over herself, and thus she singularly "adorned the doctrine of God her Saviour in all things." (Titus ii. 10.)

It had been my high privilege, with the assistance of Christian friends, to minister to the necessities of this dear child of God, from the time I first visited her. I also mentioned her case to the members of a large Bible class I held, composed principally of servants. I felt it was well to enlist their sympathy and help for one of their own body, and the appeal was warmly and nobly responded to, for, in the course of a few weeks, they contributed nearly £3 towards the payment of her rent. When I
