| | In the Mordecai family the regular interchange of letters was a duty; definite rules or traditions governed the compositions; all were written to be read aloud to the receiving household and passed on to affiliated families. | | | Included are an undated letter requesting that Rachel Mordecai's name not be used in connection with Maria Edgeworth; a letter, 1839, from Ellen to Rachel on the anniversary of Rachel's death; and a newspaper announcement of the marriage of Solomon Mordecai and Caroline Waller, 1824. | | | It is unclear from the papers whether such a school actually existed, but several of the daughters apparently did teach, either privately or within an existing school. |

| | Mordecai Ham by David Smithers |
| | I felt so powerfully overcome by the nearness of the Holy Spirit that I had to ask the Lord to draw back lest He kill me. It was so glorious that I couldn't stand more than a small portion of it." As his spiritual life deepened, his success as a revivalist increasingly spread. | | | Charles Spurgeon rightly said "that a church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. | | | God's difficulty is to find men who are willing to pay the price." Mordecai Ham was a man who was willing to pay the price and as a result was powerfully anointed by the Holy Spirit. |
