=== THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1870. === We have all hands been cuting and spliting wood too-day. This afternoon the threshers came and set up their machine so that too-morrow we expect to thresh. Too-night I have finished straitening up our School accounts for the past year. Still my cry to my God is, "I will not let thee go until thou bless me." He that has placed in my heart this desire is able to fullfill is alone able to fulfill it, and I will not cease to plead His exceeding great and precious promises, until the blessing He has promised has been bestowed upon me. === FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1870. === We have been threshing too-day: Got one part of the job done--the pease that grew in the Ten acre Field. Besides this we moved the machine and set it up ready for work in the old barn. We threshed out one hundred bushells of peas. I went over to the M.{?} (W.?} Church too-night where they have commenced a protracted meeting. There did not seem to be a very good influence, but then perhaps it will grow better, as this was the first effort. My experience of yesterday still continues, with the same earnest pleading.
