June SUNDAY 14 1896
Went out our regular morning service in Port Dover as usual, Had the usual spiritual feast provided. Bro Bennet officiated and the usual class-meeting followed. A real prodigal son turned up at our service and remained to class. He told me that he had a praying mother in England, whome he left some six years ago becoming a real prodigal. Some signs of repentance were manifest.
