SEPT.] KAMACQUA LAND. 453 
29th. About two o'clock in the morning Mrs. Sass 
was taken very ill, and it was not many hours before 
she was convinced that death was approaching, and 
calmly gave directions concerning all her affairs. 
Being asked by Mr. Read if her hopes were bright, 
she answered she could not say that they were 
bright, for she was enduring great pain, but she could 
say they were stedfastly fixed on that great truth, 
" that Jesus Christ came into the world to save 
sinners." About five, P.M. she expressed a desire 
to see me, when I stated to her some of the leading 
truths of the word of God. After this she desired 
to see Mr. Read, to tell him what he should improve 
her death from, to the people. On his coming, she 
desired it might be done from Eph. ii. 8. By 
grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of 
yourselves, it is the gift of God." While we were all 
standing round her, without any struggle she gently 
breathed her last. She indeed seemed to be fallen 
asleep. By her death, her husband lost an affectionate, 
excellent wife, and the Society a valuable missionary. 
Mysterious are the ways of God! Mrs. Albrecht 
and she, of whom great expectations were formed, 
both died on the same spot in the wilderness, the one 
soon after the other, and before either had reached a 
settled missionary station! It is also remarkable, 
that we should have come just in time to witness her 
exit to the upper world. Our presence was also 
helpful to her afflicted husband, who otherwise would 
have been left alone among a few ignorant Hottentots.
