=== SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1870. === We worked on the roads again this afternoon or rather this forenoon and this afternoon after we had worked about an hour it comenced to rain and we have had a splendid shower. Mr. & Mrs. Hall were here to day on a visit. He took the cow which he bought a while ago. "But none of these things move me, neither count I any life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have recieved of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God." === SUNDAY, JULY [sic] 12, 1870. === Another holy day has past, but alass! I have to mourn that it has been in a measure misspent. These are the days in which we are not to think our own thoughts or speak our own words, days to be consecrated wholely to God and the six days work with its cares and toils forgotten. Thank God! I have still the witness of my acceptance with Him notwithstanding the associations of the{?} day, which were in a great measure unavoidable. Our service was dropped on account of John Stephensons burial. Our minister attending it.
