August SATURDAY 22 1896

A heavy dew prevented us from working in our clover until nearly noon, but this afternoon we have been at it with all our might. Jim finished rakeing what we had, cut and I have put in cock a considerable portion of the same. Threshing machine came this evening and we are likely to thresh on Monday.

August SUNDAY 23 1896

Went out to church this morning as usual takeing Jim with me this time. Had our own minister this time and we do not have any that we would rather hear as a rule. Had the comfort of knowing that the Lord was with us in our feeble efforts at worshiping Him. His service becomes more and more delightful to my poor soul.
