MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1870.
The snow storm yesterday has turned into a rain and now again the weatehr is becoming quite warm. Charley and I have been busy at different jobs to day. "It has been said of the wife of Howard, the celebrated English philanthropist, that on a certain occasion when her husband--who had come into possession of unexpected means--contemplated a trip to London, she would not undertake the journey without careful inquiry weather the money could be expended in a way that would contribute more to the glory of God, and the good of His creatures." So should we all do.

This forenoon Charley and I cut wood or rather this afternoon. The weather is still as warm as ever and the mud geting as deep as usual. We must love God with all the heart, with all the Soul, and with all the strength, and with all the mind.

With this we will loose our disposition to be man fearing or man pleasing, unles it be to their edification; to become all things to all men, if by any means we might save some.
