It is said of Charlotte Elliott, the author of the “Invalid’s
Hymn-book,” that tho she lived to enter her eighty-second year,
she never knew a well day. Her sweet hymns, such as “Just as I
am without one plea,” were the outpouring of a heart that knew
what it was to suffer. Like so many other bards, she “learned in
suffering what she taught in song.” (Text.)
