=== MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1870. === It has been raining to day so that we could no do much. The boy and I went to Jarvis this forenoon & this afternoon he worked with Charley cleaning up oats. Cousin Leonora is to start for the Hamilton St. F College tomorrow-morning. There seems to be something so mysterious in the present position of that matter which has been so constantly a subject of prayer with me for the past four years. And although it does seem to be more unlikely than ever before to be brought to Jesus, yet strange to say, when I take the matter to the Lord, He invariably gives me the richness of my acceptance, and the especial assurance that His most precious promises shall be fulfilled. === TUESDAY, APRIL 19 1870. === The boys have beren fixing up fence most of the past day. Mother and I went out to Dover towards noon and such roads I scarcely ever saw in all my life. I was over to Bro. Germans this afternoon While thre I had a little conversation with him about that matter which I mentioned last night. For some little time I have desired to open my heart to him in this matter. After all I could not derive much benefit from the interview. It seemed so hard to express my whole mind so that he could understand me. O, how thankful I am that it is not so when I go to God.
