h! I want all of
you to speak _bright, bright_ words about Jesus, oh, do, _do_! It is all
perfect peace. I am only waiting for Jesus to take me in."

Her sufferings were very acute, and when told how patient she had been
that even the doctors noticed it, she replied, "Oh! I am so glad you
tell me this. I did want to glorify Him every step of the way, and
especially in this suffering. I hope none of you will have five minutes
of this pain."

On Tuesday, June 3, she was evidently worse. Among the words she uttered
were these: "I am lost in amazement! There hath not failed one word of
all His promise!" Mentioning the names of many dear ones, she said, "I
want _all_ to come to me in heaven; oh! don't, _don't_ disappoint me;
tell them, 'Trust Jesus.'" When one of her sisters repeated the words of
the hymn, "Jesus, I will trust Thee," she sang the verse right through
to her tune "Hermas." Violent sickness ensued, and when it was over she
folded her hands on her heart, saying, "There, now it is all over!
Blessed rest!"

Her sister thus describes the glorious sunset of her life on June 3,
1879, at the age of 42: "And now she looked up steadfastly as if she saw
the Lord; and surely nothing less heavenly could have reflected such a
glorious radiance upon her face. For ten minutes we watched that almost
visible meeting with her King, and her countenance was so glad, as if
she were already talking to Him. Then she tried to sing, but after one
sweet high note--'HE--,' her voice failed, and as her brother commended
her soul into her Redeemer's hand, she passed away. Our precious sister
was gone, satisfied, glorified, within the palace of her King." And so
she fell asleep, and her eyes saw the King in His beauty--that King of
whom she sung so sweetly and wrote so loyally. On June 9 they laid her
body to rest in the quiet churchyard of Astley Church in Worcestershire.

And thus within sight of the room which saw her birth, her body lies
"until the day dawn."

"UNDER THE SURFACE."

_Upon_ the surface you saw a bright, accomplished lady. She had marked
ability as a linguist. She acquired a great deal of German as a child by
carefully attending while present at the German lessons given to her
sisters. She learnt enough Greek and Hebrew to read her Hebrew Bible and
to enjoy her Greek Testament, and often brings out in her letters the
fact that she had been studying it. As we have seen, she was an
accomplished musician
