achers was great: especially for Miss S., whom,
when she was taken ill, she longed to see. The tickets that were given
to her in the school, as tokens for good, she valued much; and expressed
a wish to return them, that she might obtain a hymn book, the reward she
was entitled to. A shilling that was given to her by the committee at
Christmas, for learning her book, with one that she had borrowed of her
brother, she laid out in the purchase of a Testament; which she
preserved with great care till her departure.

During her illness, Elizabeth often reproved her brother and sister,
saying, "If you are not better you will certainly go to a place of
misery." On every occasion she discovered a great love to prayer; and
when by weakness she was prevented from going to chapel, she learned her
tasks; and what she did learn and hear, was, by a Divine blessing,
deeply impressed on her mind.

For the last five weeks before her death, she was not in the least
terrified at her approaching dissolution; but conversed with pleasure on
her departure. Her father asked her one day, when in great pain, whether
she loved the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? to which she answered,
"Yes, I do, and I shall soon be with him in glory." Mr. B., one of the
teachers of the school, called to see her; and after conversing with her
some time, asked her, "If she should like to go to heaven?" to which she
answered, "Yes."

On April the 24th, when in great pain, on viewing her hands, she said,
"O father! the blood ran from the hands of Jesus Christ when he was
nailed to the cross, and that was done by wicked men, but I shall go and
see him in heaven." At another time, when her parents, talking of the
sufferings of Christ, said that he died to save good children, and would
take them to sit with him on his throne for ever, and would give them
crowns of glory. To which she answered, "It seems, father, as if I could
see him." On the same day she said, "I do hope when my body dies, that
God will receive my soul to heaven." After this she related to her
parents the account of the rich man in the Gospel; observing that he was
tormented in hell, and could not so much as obtain a drop of water to
cool his burning tongue, while poor Lazarus was carried to Abraham's
bosom, where he was crowned with happiness.

She was visited by her much beloved teacher Miss S., whom she had long
wished to see; and to whom, with the rest of the teachers of the school,
her parents
