 : Bible

'Even while she spelled words and syllables, she spelled out Christ; for if she met with a free promise, or some good sentence, holding out Gods love to man, she would say, Mother, this is a sweet sentence, and usually read it over again ... her mother being exercised with long weakness, she would read by her out of such good books as there were in the house; and her mother observed she read with much affection ... she is also very diligent in reading and prayer ..'
