in all redeemed to himself by Jesus Christ, and sanctified by that one
Spirit uniting all. What subjects! I cannot attain to the
comprehension, but I experience the truth and enjoy the comfort
of them."

The two following letters, addressed to a young lady whose
acquaintance Mrs. Graham made while at Boston, show how tenderly she
sympathized with the feelings of the young, and how earnestly she
sought their good.

To Miss M----, Boston.

"There was, my dear Miss M----, something in your countenance and
manner, at our last interview, which has dwelt on my mind ever since.
Your former attentions, which I also marked, I attributed to the
natural benevolence of your heart; but your following a stranger, an
old woman, of whom you know so little, and whom you were likely never
to see again, to solicit her friendship and an interest in her
prayers, spoke a language beyond nature. Either my sweet friend has
already chosen God in Christ to be her portion, and his love in her
heart powerfully draws her to every one in whom she thinks she
discerns his image, or she conceives that this world cannot give her
happiness even in this life; and impressed with the importance of that
which is to come, she wishes to cast in her lot among God's people,
that she may know the good of his chosen and rejoice in their joy, and
become a partaker of that peace which the Saviour bequeathed to his
disciples when about to leave them: 'Peace I leave with you. My peace
I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you; let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'

"Let me congratulate my friend, which ever of these be the case.
If the first, you have, or will soon have, a peace which the world can
neither give nor take away; if the last, the Saviour stands at the
door of your heart and knocks, soliciting that heart which has too
long been hunting shadows and vanity. If your soul is dissatisfied
with the things of the world, and tired with disappointment, cast a
longing eye to the fountain of happiness. This is the claim of that
God whose name is love: 'My son, give me thy heart.' 'Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' 'In
the world ye shall have tribulation, but in me ye shall have peace.'
Be assured, my dear friend, if you could obtain all of this world that
your heart could wish for, you would find vanity written on the
