In early life she belonged to the Church of England, but, on Mr. M'Kenzie going forth to preach the truth in Preston and the neighbourhood, she was led to hear him, and the word was made a blessing to her soul. She cast in her lot with the people, and was baptized. She was afterwards taken seriously ill in London while Mr. M'Kenzie was supplying there; but God, in his mercy, raised her up again, and she was enabled to bless his dear name for his goodness in her recovery.
