came the centre where a large circl
of friends delighted to gather, an
where the serious conversation c

with flashes of wit, bits of brilliar

in fellowships. In this delightful horn
herself the centre of the comraun

She was not only an ardent studei

a- tions, sermons, aod addresses, ni
if- only immediately, but after a Ion

jo greatly admired by those who wei
so fortunate as to hear them. Hi
b- poetic language has been compare

to Mrs. Allen was not only a woma
