=== SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1870. === Took out my last load of barley this morning but did not get the business all settled up on account of not having all settled up weighed out. My mother and I went out to a party to night at Mrs. Sovereigns to night. There was a very nice company of friends together. It was the third anniversary of Charlotte's wedding. My experience to day in Jesus has been characterised by an unusual degree of fervency in prayer & desire for Divine guidance. === SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1870. === Mother and I have not been away from home to day, on account of our own service. Bro. German preached as usual from XXXIII Chap Isaiah 15th 16th & 17th verses. "He that walketh rigtheously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stopeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high, his place of defence shall be the munitions of rock, bread shall be given him: his waters shall be sure, thine eyes shall behold the king in his beauty, they shall behold the land that is very far off."
