=== MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1870. === Charly has been cuting down the strawstack and drawing out some manure to day. I went up to Simcoe this afternoon to see about changing my cloverseed for another kind. I purchased the "life of Lady Maxwell". I was pleased to hear of their having a good and a successful meeting at Simcoe after all. I am told that there have been some additions to the Church already and most of them young men. My desires are still all centered on God who alone can fulfill them === TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1870. === The boy whom I made an agreement with a while ago came to day and comenced work. I have hired him for one month, on trial at seven dollars per month. Charley and I have been cuting wood and the like to day. "God give thee power to get wealth". Who can doubt it? Who gives wisdom, understanding, skill, bodily strength, and health? Is it not God? And without these how can wealth be acquired. To God the wealthy man must account for the manner in which he hath expended the riches which God hath given him."
