The past day very rainy so much so that mother and I have neither of us been able to leave for Divine Service. Notwithstanding this it has been a day of considerable proffit to my poor soul. I have been reading the Memoir of Father Reeves, the Methodist Class Leader. His first written covenant is as follows. "O Lord, I am thine, save me. If thou sparest me this year, help me to glorify thy name; and if thou takest me, take me to thyself. <s>If thou</s> I am thy unworthy servant--W. Reeves. These words I can also subscribe as the expression of my inmost heart. C. C. Olds. | The past day very rainy so much so that mother and I have neither of us been able to leave for Divine Service.
