TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1870.
We had the plough going this forenoon but this afternoon we have been killing some hogs. John Matthews has been helping us. Got three hogs killed, and dressed and two of them salted down to night. The other one I have sold to George Matthews. A certain writer has beautifully said--"God's purposes are ripening fast, unfolding every hour." How true! It is well that the future of our lives is hidden from our view. Truly we have an alwise Creator.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1870.
We had quite a rain storm last night. This morning Charley and I put up a grist of wheat for the mill. The remainder of the day we have been sorting over our potatoes and puting them away for the winter. The weather has become quite cold since morning. It is said that Christians who are longest in the fire shine brightest. This is a saying, the truth of which has often been proved. It is not strange that it should be so either. For the Son of man is does not forsake his poor afflicted ones.
