glorious of her life. Of one such she writes:--

'The Lord has very graciously stood by me, and given me much precious
fruit. Last Sunday we had the Hall crowded, and a large proportion of
gentlemen. The Lord was there in power, and twenty-one came forward--some
for Salvation and some for purity. Several were most blessed cases of
full surrender. We did not get away till nearly six, and we began at
three. Everybody is amazed at this for the West-End! The audience is very
select, we never having published a bill. Pray much, dear friend, that
God may do a deep and permanent work in this Babylon. It seems as though
He gave me words of fire for them, and they sat spellbound.'

You say you wish you had heard her speak? Indeed, we all wish you had:
you could never have forgotten it. But several of her addresses were
taken down in shorthand at the time, and are reprinted in her books, so
you can get and read them; and they will bless and teach you as they have
taught thousands before you.
