THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1870.

The boys have been working at the wood again to day, While I was busy at my harrow the forenoon. Mother and I started for Woodhouse this afternoon. We found the roads fearfully bad: At our place we had to drive through the creek, (at Allan Culvers) on account of the dirt being washed away from the end of the bridge. The water turned out to be very deep, so much so that the horse had to swim a little way. Fortunately we both walked over the bridge & Providentially escaped.

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1870.

We went to the Woodhouse meeting last night. It happened to be the last one. Bro Berman preached from "Come thou with us and we will do the good" &c. As the immediate result of the meeting twenty five have already given in their names as members on trial, Several of these heads of families besides a number of others who it is expected will yet join. Praise the Lord for his goo[d]ness. My own experience continues to be that of trial and temptation, And yet, Praise God, I am still kept from being utterly cast down by His almighty power.
