I have felt rather tough all day and was glad I didn't have to work. Marj. & I went down to Sunday school and church. They made changes in the classes in Sunday school this being Advent Sunday & about half the school is dissatisfied over it. I got four of Mrs. Smith's oldest boys who didn't want to come nor were wanted very badly and it was the same with some of the other classes. Enah went down to church but Dad. stayed home with Tim who doesn't seem so well to-day. Marj. and I stayed at Aunty's for dinner and most of the after noon. Quint was there for dinner but left right afterwards. Enah went down to church to-night & Jack Walker brought her home in spite of the bad roads. Cloudy & raw.
