MAY SUNDAY, 2 1886

Ma and I went out to the Quarterly meeting to day. Our church in Port Dover was crowded, almost. The largest turnout that I remember for years. Had a very good time. The Lord being with us. Took dinner with Mifs Giles before comeing home. A shower of rain caught us on the way home, but we drove into Unckle Joe McFalls for an or so or till the rain was over.
