THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1870.

Charley and Henry have been cuting wood. I have been busy at taking care of the beef besides some other jobs. The weather still remains beautiful but it begins to wear the appearance of a storm. I went over to the Advent protracted meeting to night. Their meeting has become quite interesting. Souls are being wrought upon and saved. It is a cause of gratitude to God that He is visiting our neighbourhood. O, may it be a glorious visitation, and not cease until scores of souls have been converted.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1870.

We have all hands of us been cuting and spliting wood to day. The weather is still very beautiful although somewhat cold. I was over to the meeting again to night. The feeling is very good and still sinners are comeing home. I have had some precious seasons in prayer to day especially this morning, when the Lord blessed me. I am striving still to live a life of perfect faith in his name. He continues from time to time to give me most precious assurances of His favour.
