"I am almost reluctant to pray for Mrs. Peter. She was so good, so pure, that while joining in the solemn supplication just breathed, and knowing that it is a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins, if they die in sin, I do believe that you have lying here the remains of a saint, and I would rather myself pray to her than for her."
