You see the light in which our friend regarded her life on earth, and
how much importance she attached to one _day_--a single day.
As I read what she had written, I felt my soul humbled before God,
and I trembled to think of the useless way in which I had hitherto
spent my time.
You see in particular what Amelia felt on the subject of piety; what
love her soul had for God! and this is what produced in her that
active, sincere, and constant charity.
You cannot form the least idea of the work, of kindness and
benevolence which she was enabled to accomplish. That passage, "The
memory of the just is blessed," is truly applicable to her.
Amelia was justified in her Saviour, for she trusted in him, and
thus was she also justified before God, by her faith in Jesus. The
spirit of Jesus led her in "all her way," and in whatever family she
appeared, her actions and words manifested a heavenly mind.
Her name is remembered with blessing in the hearts of all who knew
her; her counsels, her instructions, her example, and her acts of
benevolence, are continually spoken of by those who witnessed them,
and it is thus that she left behind a sweet savor of holiness, like a
ray of heavenly light.
