=== WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1870. === The weather has become warm again and now seems much like Spring. The boys have been busy to day as usual. H. M. Bucher{?} in one of his Lecture-Room Talks says "I think there is no intelligent, experienced Christian who has lived a long life of faith and trust in God, who does not testify that it is good to draw near to God, and his God, and ask for the things which he really needs. And yet probably no true Christian has not seen a mysterious pause between asking & recieving: No wonder his faith sometimes fails. No wonder that he sometimes thinks that God will not answer prayer. === THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1870. === Still the beautiful weather continues and I hope soon to get to work again on the farm. The boys have been busy to day as usual. I went up to G. Matthew's this afternoon to see about some repairing &c. Coming back I stoped at John's. They told me that Leonora would go to the H. L. College week after next, if they could get some means of geting her there. This news pleased me much and rather than not have her go I would take her myself.
