Harriet Ware

“A third school was commenced at India Point.  In 1832, Miss Harriet Ware began her work there.  Her whole soul was moved for the spiritual interests of the young.  And a kindred zeal already moved Mr. R., as if toward his life-work for the young in Sabbath Schools.  Miss Ware opened a day school at India Point, and soon a Sabbath School was commenced in connection with it in that work Mr. K. was called on to assist.  And in her memoir, (page 18,) Miss Ware says: ‘The gentlemen who assisted in organizing the school, happened to be, of all men, the most suitable for the work.  He could excite a deep interest, when most other men might as well have been asleep.’  Through all her labors and the trials at the ‘Point,’ she gave him her confidence, and received his assistance, in counsel and effort for the good of the degraded neighborhood.  Acquainted, as he was , by his occupation, with the families there, he had facilities for cooperating with her, of which Miss Ware well knew how to avail herself in her plans of usefulness.”
