MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1870
We cleaned up some cloverseed this forenoon. Instead of saving two bushells as I expected there will be four. Mother and I went out to Dover this afternoon to make a visit at Sovereigns. I went down to the Silver Lake for a skate about four and was unexpectedly favoured with Miss Bessie Scott's company. Of course, I enjoyed it. Attended missionary{?} meeting to-night. We had {illegible} the Deputation{?}. Revd. George Fergeson, John Wakefield and Rev. James Harris. The Speeches were excellent and the meeting quite a success.

It snowed all of last night and most of the past day, but most of the past day this afternoon we cut wood again. I went over to the meeting to night at the church. There was an excellent influence and my own soul with many others was blessed. Still there are sinners coming hence to Jesus. How deligthful to see them fleeing from destruction. It makes my soul so glad. Lord, surely thine arm is not shortened that thou canst not save for still thou savest sinners.
