WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1870.

The weather has become very warm and Showery. We have not, however, been hindered from our work at seeding. We are now working in the field west of the woods which we hope to get done to-morrow. I am waiting or God to come for me said a little sick orphan boy to a jentleman who found him lying in some long grass with his eyes turned upwards. He took Father, Mother and little brother up to his home in heaven, and now I am waiting to go too, for mother told me that God would take care of me, and she never told me a lie. Yes! said the jentleman, God has sent me to take care of you. What a beautiful lesson of truth.

We have finished another field of seeding too day. This makes about twenty two acres. I went down to Jarvis after the plough which I have been giting made over new. One family, on earth and in heaven. Such are God's children All one in Him. Many have finished the work of which God gave them to do, and have gone down to recieve their reward, and to dwell with Christ. Many are still waiting and doing the Masters work, expecting ere long to join the sanctified in Heaven.
