See if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting." Feeble as she was, she never shrank from labor. Hours
every day were spent in her closet, and the rest of her time was
sacredly used for Christ. She had much to do with the conversion of
the twenty schoolmates whom she was permitted to see in Christ
before she went home; and she did much for the women who came to the
Seminary. Her teacher never knew a young person more anxious to save
souls. Both pupils and visitors loved to have Sarah tell them the
way. They said, "We can see it when she tells us." No wonder they
saw it, for she seemed to look on it all the time. Her teacher
depended much on her, and yet often remonstrated with her for such
incessant labors. Still she felt that she must be about her Father's
business while the day lasted. Her desires for the salvation of her
father seemed to commence with her anxiety for herself; and his
feelings were soon so tender that he could not answer an inquiry
about his own state without tears. Sarah was the first to know that
he had found peace. His first religious intercourse with her was to
tell her that he had found Jesus.
