Memoir of Rachel Hicks (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Memoir of Rachel Hicks In a deep sense of my unworthiness, and with an awful solemnity resting upon my spirit, in the sixty-ninth year of my age, I begin this, my last legacy of love to my fel low-creatures. In this work I ask the aid of Him who, I believe, requires it of me; hop ing it may afford encouragement to some deep ly exercised and tried mind when I shall have passed away from time and all its conflicts.
I was born on the loth of fourth month, 1789, and was carefully educated in the prin ciples of Friends, by my religiously con cerned parents, Gideon and Elizabeth Seaman. Having thus experienced the benefit of a guarded education, I can add my testimony to that of many who have gone before me, that a solemn responsibility rests upon parents to train their offspring to fear the Lord and keep His commandments which He impresses upon the mind by His own Spirit.
