Description
This is a memorial biography of Harriet Lee, a Moravian woman who died in 1842 at age 30 and was buried near the Moravian chapel in Leominster. It describes her religious upbringing in the Church of England, the influence of her mother’s faith, and her later deep Christian conversion and trust in Christ. The memoir emphasizes her piety, prayerfulness, peace about salvation, and calm acceptance of death. In her final illness she remained cheerful and faithful, and the account ends by praising her kindness as a wife, sister, mother, and friend, encouraging others to place their trust in God as she did.
