Evidence: | Dec 1816 - Fry recommences visits to Newgate prison: 'On her second visit, she was, at her own request, left alone amongst the women for some hours, and on that occasion, she read to them the parable of the Lord in the vineyard, in the 20th chapter of St Matthew; and made a few observations on the eleventh hour, and on Christ having come to save sinners, even those who might be said to have wasted the greater part of their lives estranged from Him. Some asked who Christ was; others feared that their day of salvation was passed.' |
