ntroduced her
to scenes of usefulness for more than thirty years, for which she was
eminently qualified by early training. As soon as Mrs. Graham heard
how her friend was going to be employed, she wrote to her as follows:

"MY DEAR SALLY--Many tears have I shed over your letter. What a
changing lot has been that of my family! The Lord's providences to me
and mine have not been of the ordinary kind, and you, as one in it,
seem to be a partaker with us. Surely, of all others, we have most
reason to say, We are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Oh that we
may drink into the true spirit of that phrase, and enjoy the genuine,
firm faith of an everlasting habitation, of living at home with God.

"My dear Sally, take the comfort of this, that it is the Lord who
hath led you all the way by which you have gone. Of all persons whom I
know, you were, from your temper and disposition, the least likely to
travel, still less to continue a traveller. No ordinary means would
have led you to leave your friends and religious privileges. And many
a pang it has cost me, on reflection, to think how positive I was that
you should take the voyage. But it was of the Lord. The physicians
urged it as the only chance you had for life, and they had reason; for
of all those who were attacked in the same manner, there is not one
alive, within my knowledge, at this day.

"The Lord, by wonderful means, called you from your native land,
and led you to the very spot where you met Mr. Loveless. The same God,
being also his God, led him, by means perhaps equally unforeseen and
uncommon, to the same spot, united your hearts to each other, and made
you one in his hand, and I trust to his glory. You ask my blessing: I
have carried both of you to my God and Saviour, and have prayed, and
continue to pray, that the Lord will bless you individually and
unitedly, give you much sweet communion with himself, and much social
enjoyment with him and with one another. May he bless Mr. Loveless as
a missionary, and give him the spirit of his office, and much fruit
among the heathen, as seals to his ministry; and may you be a helper
with him, and both be blessed and made a blessing.

"I feel my loss. You were a comfort and a help to us all,
especially to me: but I do not mourn; I heartily acquiesce. This is
not only agreeable to me, as it is one of God's wise arrangements to
you and us all, but I think it will be more to your comfort. Religion
