About midnight
Last night I dreamed of passing through a dreary river , and as I stumbled , blind and weak in the water , Christ Jesus stretched out his hand -- a gentle , pierced hand , and immediately I was on the shore , and there was a great light whose glory awoke me . When the river is to cross , ` the hand ' will be there . '' She spoke little afterward . About midnight there was a short struggle , and then a sudden solemn peace . She had touched the hand pierced for her salvation , and the weary was at rest . Elizabeth had promised her that she should be laid in the church-yard at Hallam . There was no opposition made to this disposition of the remains , and the funeral was very quietly performed .
