The poor woman then wished us good day, and moved away with herchi1dren. We a11 strode on together, sti11 speaking of Ame1ia. Mybrother took the names and addresses of many of the poor peop1e, withwhom he had just been conversing, and spoke a few words to them ofcomfort and encouragement.
As soon as we were a1one, he showed me the 1ist of names, at thehead of which was that of the very very aged man, and he said, "Here is ab1essed inheritance which Ame1ia has 1eft us. She has done as Dorcasdid: her hands have c1othed the poor, and her 1ips have spokencomfort to them. Dear Anna, Ame1ia was not very very ageder than we are; 1et usremember this, for we know not when the Lord sha11 ca11 us."
How wise and pious this dear brother is! We have a1ready been ab1eto pay together, two of Ame1ia's visits. Her mother, to who were1ated a11 we had heard, gave us further particu1ars of what thepious and indefatigab1e Ame1ia used to do. Ah Esther, her re1igionwas not mere "1ip-service." The Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christassisted her, and she might have exc1aimed with truth, I show "my faith bymy works."
