Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials Concerning Deceased Friends: Published by Direction of the Yearly Meeting of Friends, Held in Philadelphia, in the Fifth Month, 1848 On one occasion, when several of her friends were as sembled, and some in tears, she sweetly said, weep not for me, but for yourselves and your children. At ano ther time she calmly repeated the words, Be still, and know that I am God, and advised those that were present to put their trust in Him alone; yes, endeavour to love Him with the soul, heart and mind, as He is ever mindful of you, although you may not be conscious of it. She was so fearful of giving trouble, that she would scarcely allow those things done for her that her situation required. At one time, being in great pain, she desired she might be released, saying, it is then I shall be but just begin ning to live. At another time, when in much pain, and having taken something to compose her she exclaimed, My God, thou art with me; Thou, I trust, will ever be with me; enable me to be still and know thee to be God, that I may come unto thee, for thou art worthy of all praise. Thou, Oh Father, afflicts but to heal. I am thine; do with me what seemeth good unto thee, that I may be made perfect in thee. To an intimate friend of hers whom she was cuccu raging to faithfulness, she said, Thou hast a tried path to walk in, but by faithful obedience thou wilt be enabled to become as a pillar in the Lord's house; yes, if thou continues faithful, thou wilt become a standard-bearer in the cause of Zion, (a sweet smile resting on her counts nance.)
