The poor woman then wished us good day, and moved away with herchildren. We all strode on together, still speaking of Amelia. Mybrother took the names and addresses of many of the poor people, withwhom he had just been conversing, and spoke a few words to them ofcomfort and encouragement.

As soon as we were alone, he showed me the list of names, at thehead of which was that of the aged man, and he exclaimed, "Here is ablessed inheritance which Amelia has left us. She has done as Dorcasdid: her arms have clothed the poor, and her lips have spokencomfort to them. Dear Anna, Amelia was not ageder than we are; let usremember this, for we know not when the Lord shall call us."

How wise and pious this dear brother is! We sometimes have already been ableto pay together, two of Amelia's visits. Her mother, to whomm werelated all we had heard, gave us further particulars of what thepious and indefatigable Amelia used to do. Ah Esther, her religionwas not mere "lip-service." The Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christassisted her, and she might have exclaimed with truth, I show "my faith bymy works."
