I meet with no one who lives in so pure and tranquil an atmosphere as Mrs.Montgomery.An hour with her lifts me above the petty cares and selfish struggles of this life, and fills my mind with longings after those higher things into which all must rise before that peace comes to the soul which passeth all understanding.
I return home from these interviews, happier in mind, and stronger for life's duties.

I do not know any term that so clearly expresses my idea of this lady, as Christian philosopher." Occasionally Mrs.Montgomery would pay us a visit; and these also were times treasured up in my wife's remembrance.

I always observed a certain elevation of feeling, a calmer spirit, and a more loving sphere about her after one of these pleasant seasons.
The daughter came very often.

Our children loved her almost as much as they did their mother, and she seemed as happy with them, as if they were her own flesh and blood.

Agnes, our oldest, now in her eighth year, almost lived at the Allen House.
