humbly accept this _glorious_ invitation
as a poor WRETCHED sinner. I _strive_ not to expect
redemption by my own poor merits. I have no comparative
fear of death, but as a passage from a wicked world to a
happy, happy home. Though I am by nature very wicked, it
is all washed away by my Saviour's blood. The Holy Spirit
has taught me what to pray for, and how to pray. I hope all
my dear friends will forgive me if I have been angry when
they have spoken to me about my faults. I should like,
dearest parents, whatever little money and things I have,
to be given to the Church Missionary Society and the Bible
Society. My dear Saviour has forgiven me all my INNUMERABLE
sins, and so, dear parents, you need not fear about my
soul. I believe my Saviour will _not_ forsake me if I trust
in Him, and I know that all my righteousness is as filthy
rags.--I remain, dearest parents," &c., &c., &c.,

The other paper that was found, was probably intended for her brothers
and sisters. It is as follows:--

"When you are in trouble, go to God and tell Him all about it. The
Saviour who called little children to come to Him will listen to you, no
matter what the subjects be, if you be but in earnest and need His help.
If you have a difficult lesson to learn, a hasty spirit to subdue, an
unkind word to bear, a proud spirit to humble--whatever your difficulty,
take it to God in the name of Jesus, and He _will_ help you. If even we,
who see so little beneath the surface, are not pleased with outward
appearances without good qualities within, how much less is the great
God who searches the inmost recesses of the heart? 'The Lord seeth not
as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord
looketh on the heart.' What we require is a new heart cleansed by the
Holy Spirit, full of all the graces mentioned in St. Paul's Epistle to
the Galatians, (chap. v. 22.) Oh! go then to JESUS and ask of Him in
earnest prayer to pardon your sins, and to confer upon you the blessed
gift of a new heart."

My young friends, have _you_ fled like C---- T---- to an all-gracious
Saviour? Is the "_name_ of Jesus," so sweet to _her_, equally precious
to you? Does it "soothe your sorrows," "heal your wounds," and drive
your tears and fears all away? Can you say, in the spirit of her
beautiful and comforting letter,--

"Till then I shall His love proclaim
