If he left me a moment to myself,
I should fall a prey to every temptation.
But I see such fulness in God, and such beauty in Christ,
as makes me long for more such acquaintance with him.
- Sarah Mallit,
Early Methodist Preacher
Sarah Mallit was authorized by Wesley to preach in 1787 at Conference. “We give the right hand of fellowship to Sarah Mallet and have no objection to her being a preacher in our connexion, so long as she preaches the Methodist doctrines, and attends to our discipline.” She preached until her death in 1843 at age 82 (Her name is spelled various ways).
