When she was taken sic'k it was very trying for her to give up the care of her dear children and family, and it was not without a struggle that she patiently yielded her wishes to the will of God.

She said she could put all her trust in Christ, and rest entirely in Him. Tenderly attached to her husband and her home, she loved the cares and duties of domestic life, and was loth to yield the charge of her dear children to others; but she soon gave up all anxiety in these respects, and felt a calm trust in Christ.

The promises became very precious to her -they even appear ed new to her. So much more did they comfort her than ev er before.
