Charley has been cuting and spliting wood. I have been working at my new harrow which I want to get done in time for the springs work. The weather to day has been as stormy as ever. The snow has got to be quite a depth "Feel deeply humble. Am so unlike Christ! And yet I have not look at self, but keep looking to the Lamb of God. One look of penitance and faith to Him our present Saviour, is worth more than hours of self-abasement, or years of trying to make ones self better."

Charley has been cuting and spliting wood too day &c. I worked in the shop this forenoon and this afternoon have been spending the time very proffitably as well as agreeably in visiting with our old friend Rev. Thomas Woolsey. He & his wife came in time for dinner. Towards night we started for Woodhouse meeting. Called and took tea at father Philip Austins on the way. Bro. Woollsey preached to night. The meeting was an excellent one. A score or more were forwar{word cut off}
