A Brief Memoir of Elizabeth Fry (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Brief Memoir of Elizabeth Fry
This excellent person was the third daughter of John Gurney, of Earlham, in the county of Norfolk. She was born in the year 1781. Her mother died before she had attained her twelfth year. Deprived by this bereavement of the judicious care of a tenderly beloved parent, the youthful group of eleven children were subjected to little restraint. The mind of their indulgent father does not appear to have then yielded to the deep religious convictions that subsequently influenced him. His daughters were allowed to participate in the amusements of fashionable life, and also to associate with persons, who, whilst conspicuous for talent and literary research, were sceptical on the all-important truths of christian doctrine. But, whilst thus exposed to the seductions of vain delights and Speculative Opinions, a gracious Providence watched over the interesting band; and, through the renewed visitations of the day-spring from on high, mingled with chastening dispensations of sorrow, it pleased their Heavenly Father to attract them from the paths of worldly pleasure, and gently to lead them in the way of safety and peace.
