SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 1870.

I was weather bound last night in Dover so that I stayed all night at Bowlbys. Came home this morning as soon as possible. Went to hear Mr. Ebersoule this morning. This delightful day of rest has passed, thank God, not altogether without proffit to my poor soul. Have had some deligthful seasons of communion with Him when I felt to an unusual degree the glorious presence of the Master. I am seeking continually that the desire of my heart may not in any way be mingled with iniquity.

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1870.

The boys have been drawing manure to day from below the horse stables. I have been doing little jobs most of the time. This afternoon I had some visitors and this kept me from my work. Mr. Isaac Austin was here, just from Kansas. "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust. let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort; thou hast given commandment to save me for thou art my rock and my fortress."
