SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1870.

The boys and I finished planting the potatoes and corn to day or rather this forenoon. This afternoon the boys washed the sheep, While I went up to Woodhouse after Ma's carpet which Uncle Holmes has been weaving. Stoped in Dover on the way back for the mail and some other little matters. Henry came home with me. I feel greatly discouraged to night as I do quite often. I do not wish to doubt the promises, but notwithstanding this my faith is sometimes weak.

SUNDAY, MAY 29, 1870.

I went over to the church this morning and heard Mr. Ebersoule{?}. He gave us a very good discourse. We had our dear Bro. German with us to dinner to day. I esteem as such a prvilege to have the minister stop with us. He gave us, as usual, an excellent discourse. It seemed again to be my duty to take charge of the class. In fulfilling this obligation I was greatly blessed by God. His presence was manifested in an unusual manner, to the joy of our souls. Bro. {illegible} was with us after a long absence.
