=== FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1870. === I remained in Dundas until about three o'clock. Started then for Nelson via Hamilton. Took Maggie Laird to Hamilton & went from there to Nelson alone. Got there about dark. Found them all well. I went with them to meeting at the church. Heard Rev. Thomas Jeffry preach The sermon was splendid, and the prayer-meeting also was a powerful season of refreshing. I did not enjoy much, my visit as it seemed that my presence was not altogether appreciated or desired. Especially by {name obscured} === SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1870. === This forenoon I spent mostly at Springers but about eleven I went down to Ed. Sovereigns Frank and Emily went up to Jerseyville just before I started. I did not feel very comfortable about it, but then it is my desire continually, to commit all my way unto the Lord that He may direct my paths. As I have asked the Lord to lead me in this matter I consider that he has lead me and that by those paths which are most for my own good and His own glory. O Lord, give me, I pray thee a meek & trusting spirit. For Jesu's Sake.
