=== MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1870. === Charley finished ploughing the field in front of the tennant-house to day. This makes about eighteen acres that we have done. The ground is pretty weat on account of the very heavy rains which we are having almost every day. Many changes take place in my enjoyment as a follower of Christ, almost daily. Yet after all I find that the current of my life is running steadily for the heavenly Mansions city. By the grace of God alone are all these things taking place. === TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1870. === My man comenced ploughing in the field back of the barn this morning. I have been to the cider mill to day. Succeeded in geting my cider made and in geting home again before dark. Went to De Con's{?}. Very precious have been my enjoyments to day. What a glorious privelege to that we may enjoy even foretastes of Heaven here. No matter what our surroundings nothing can prevent the promised blessing when we, like the disciples of old tary{?} at Jerusalem for the promise of the father.
