SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 1870

The past has exceeded all other days this winter for snow. We have now nearly a goot but it is drifted a good deal. This is the day of the Hagars vill Church opening but we could not even think of going, on account of the storm. Have spent the day in the house reading & writing &c. Have had some most precious seasons with my God. How true those words of the poet. "With thee conversing we forget All time and toil and care. Labour is rest and pain is sweet If thou my God art here." The burden of my prayer is still, for that blessing which the Lord has promised me.

Charley has been busy tearing down the straw stack &c. too day. According to invitation mother and I went down to Jarvis this forenoon, and took took dinner with Mrs. Canfield. Met there with Miss Annie Thompson a young lady of whom I have heard a good deal. Was not disappointed in my Ideas of her. We went on down to Hagarsville to attend the tea-meeting. Before it came off there was a sermon by Rev. Mr. Grant (Presbyterian). The tea-meeting was a decided success the proceeds all told were $1.000 one thousand dollars
