She suffered intensely
for a few days. Her disease forbade her lying down, even at night.
But still not a day passed that she did not gather some women about
her, and point them to Jesus. Her teacher visited her frequently,
and often found her with her Bible open, and several women around
her bed, to whom she was explaining it. The praying pupils, too,
often knelt with her at the accustomed throne of grace.
One Saturday in June, her father was asked if he could go to
Tergawer--twenty-five miles distant--and preach. His reply was, "I
will see what Sarah says." She said, "Go, father, and I will pray
for you." Sabbath morning came, and her teacher saw that Sarah was
almost home: she told her so, and once more committed the dear pupil
to the Saviour who stood by. She had to return to her duties in
school, but first said to her mother, "Send for me when the Master
calls for her, for, if I cannot go over Jordan with her, I would at
least accompany her to the swelling stream." In the afternoon her
sufferings became intense; and losing herself for a moment, she
said, "Call my father." They told her where he was.
