My dear mother was brought up to attend the Church of England till after her marriage, when she attended and became a member with the Primitive Methodists, and afterwards with the Independents. She was much concerned about her safety in Christ, and was in soul-bondage for many years, not finding amongst those with whom she worshipped the things her soul desired; till on one occasion, when visiting her native village (Alvescott), she heard Mr. Doe, and the Lord blessed her with the assurance that she was interested in "the covenant ordered in all things and sure."
