Notes - In Journal of Rev. Muhlenberg, I:217-8, April 1749 (with a footnote saying
"According to the Church Record, Elisabeth, wife of Paul Moser, was buried
April8, 1749"
In the month of April a young married woman in the New Hannover congregation
passed away. She had been enlightened and converted by God's Word for several
years and was able to give a reason for her faith in and love for the Lord Jesus,
for she had accepted Him in faith and He had given her the right to be called
His child. Whenever she came to see me I never failed to be edified by her
godly converstaion because she knew by experience what it means to come to
Christ as a weary, heavy laden, and pardoned sinner. She had also learned meekness
and sincere humility by following Him. She was stricken withpleurisy, and from the
very beginning she surmised that she would attain to the rest that remaineth, so she
began at once to prepare herself well for departure.
I was summoned to travel up from Providence and give her Holy Communion, but,
owing to other necessary pastoral duties, was unable to get there until the next
day. When I arrived I saw at once that there were some signs of approaching death.
She said, "I have been desiring to be strengthened and refreshed just once more
during this mortal life with the body and blood of my Lord Jesus before I die,
otherwise I might well have passed away already."
When I asked her whether she was prepared for a blessed death, she replied,
"I havea desire to depart and be with Christ! Lord, now let Thy handmaiden
depart in peace, for the eyes of my faith have seen Thy salvation, etc. But
what makes my departure hard are my little children whom I must leave behind
unreared in this wild and tempting country. But I have commended them to the
Lord in prayer and I trust that He will lead them upon the straight way to
heaven and let none of them perish!" She made her confession, prayed fervently
with me, and received the Holy Communion with hunger and thirst. Five horus later
she fell asleep in the Lord to the sorrow of all who knew her. Her funeral text
wasfrom John 1:47, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile."
