SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1870.

I went out to meeting this morning. We expected to have a sacrimental occasion but were disappointed Bro Germans family have been bereaved to day of an infant son. Hence our disappointment I went to Mr. Craigies Church instead. Heard an excellent discourse about the Celestial City. I had my dinner with Mrs. Ryerson. I have asked my Heavenly Father that I may have deliverance from such Sabbath influences as at present falls to my lot at times that I may be enabled to fulfill his commandment - "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy"

We have not done a great deal to day on account of rain. Charley has been ploughing for Tisdale while I have been doing little jobs as usual. "Trust in he Lord", said one of the Anciants, and though thou sail in the ocean upon a straw, thou shalt be safe This sounds like queer talk to the unregenerate but what however can we doubt its truth According to your faith, so shall it be done unto you. says the Saviour, the unchangeable, the first and the last. Yet after all it is impossible even to believe without His grace.
