I heartily covenanted to serve him all my
life, and sought help from him in prayer. Then suddenly I saw light,
as if he were at my side; and I did not wish to rise from my knees,
so blessed was that communion. From that time I had hope, but
sometimes fear I may be deceived. Yet daily I find Christ more and
more precious. Though old Adam is not dead, yet in the strength of
God I will resist him.
Yes, my dear mother in Christ, my guide to the cross, my desire is
to please God, and live for him, not for myself. I cannot say that I
shall never sin, for I am weak, and my foe is strong; but I will
seek help from Him who was tempted, and can succor me when tempted.
I am most thankful to you that you have been the means of my
salvation, and can never forget your love till my tongue is silent
in the grave.
Your affectionate GULY, of Seir.
She and her husband, Yohanan, have labored in the mountains ever
since their marriage. He writes to Miss Fiske in February, 1861,--
"I have not forgotten your pleasant love, and trust I never shall
until I die. I hope that, with all your friends here, I shall see
you again.
