The Annals of the Poor

PART III
8/19

Her views of the divine plan in saving the sinner were clear and scriptural.

She spoke much of the joys and sorrows which, in the course of her religious progress, she had experienced; but she was fully sensible that there is far more in real religion than mere occasional transition from one frame of mind and spirits to another.

She believed that the experimental acquaintance of the heart with God principally consisted in so living upon Christ by faith as to aim at living like him by love.

She knew that the love of God toward the sinner, and the path of duty prescribed to the sinner, are both of an unchangeable nature.

In a believing dependence on the one, and an affectionate walk in the other, she sought and found "the peace of God which passeth all understanding;" for "so he giveth his beloved rest." She had read but few books besides her Bible; but these few were excellent in their kind, and she spoke of their contents as one who knew their value.
