SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1870.

Charley and I cleaned up a grist this morning, of chop. I took it out to the mill and ma went along with me. We had dinner at George Hall's and had a pleasant visit with Massia{?}. I called to see my Bro. German and had also a proffitable season in his company. Was pleased to hear that the special services at Woodhouse were prospering nicely. May the Lord pour out upon that people abundant showers of blessing. Looking to Jesus still striving to hang myself on His exceeding great and precious promises.

SUNDAY, MARCH 6, 1870.

Read one of Punsh{illegibler} sermons this morning. Remained at home until the afternoon servicer We had Bro German here to dinner. His sermon this afternoon was from I will not let thee go intil thou bless me. The sermon was excellent My soul was proffited by hearing it and my heart was made glad in hope of His favour My prayer to day has been very precious to my soul. The Good Lord seemed so near and that to own and bless. We had a good turn out this afternoon and our class-meeting was unusually large and interesting.
