Happy Reflections of a Dying Mother.
—' I have been the mother of sixteen children,' said a woman, as she lay upon the bosom of her Savior, and was breathing her life out sweetly there.' I have good reason to believe, that every one of them is now either with Christ, or In Christ. I never put one of my babes to my breast in my life, without lifting my heart in special prayer to God, that I might never nurse a child for Satan. Christian mother, have you been thus faithful to your offspring? Will your reflections be thus sweet, when you shall press your dying pillow? Have you similar evidence, in the character and prospects of your children, that God is a prayer hearing God and that He is faithful to believers, in respect to the exceeding great and precious promises' of his holy covenant?
