Life of Mary Hagger

by: Mary Hagger

Mary Hagger (1758-1840) was raised by pious parents, and being of a meek and humble disposition, was early visited by the power of the Lord, though at the time she says, “I knew not what it was that so sweetened and tendered my heart.” Faithfully yielding to the convictions and instructions of grace, she was prepared by the Lord as a vessel for His service. But when she felt it required of her to bear public testimony to the goodness of the Lord, for many years the language of her heart was, “Send by whom you will send, but not by me.” However, in the latter part of her life she was at last made willing to speak as the Lord enabled her, and became an instrument of usefulness in the church.
