He therefore, waited upon her, and at the same time so con firmed her In a'sincere zeal for religion; to the utmost Of his abilities according to the'existing state-of affairs, that she continued ever after to entertain a sincere affection for him during his life and now also, as his survivor, exhibits strik ing marks Of her gratitude after his death.
