SUNDAY, APRIL 10, 1870.

Mother and I went out to Dover this morning for meeting. Heard our dear bro. German preach in the morning from the last few verses of the 12th Chap Hebrews. This afternoon heard the Baptist minister from Villoria{?}, Rev. Mr. Cox. He preached from--They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.' Bro. German preached again in our own church from 41 ver. XII chap St. Matthew, The men of Ninevah shall rise up in judgement with this generation and shall condemn it, because they repented &c.

MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1870.

We have been busy at geting together our booms to day succeeded in geting two of the best ones to their places. We also altered the old bull and some hogs before noon. I have still an inward conciousness of being altogether the Lord's. O, how precious to have ones will altogether lost in His will. It requires sometimes, hard fighting with the world, the flesh and the devil to live such a life of faith, and yet I find that I am only happy when my trust is all in Him. Lord grant that I may do thy will on earth as angels do in heaven! amen!
