MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1870.
Charley has been cuting wood too-day in the wood house. It has been snowing most of the day. I have been busy as usual. I went over to John Mans this evening to tea and afterwards went to meeting at the church. It seems to be improving a little in interest. There was one forward{?}, and two who rose for prayer. The sermon, from "What shall it proffit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul," was very earnest and practical. And the prayermeeting afterwards was also quite a season of refreshing{?} from the presence of the Lord.
