SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1870.

I comenced haying to day. Had one of the Ball's O{illegible} mowers and find it a great improvement on the St. George Machine. Charley went to help Tisdale get up his hay this afternoon. I cut most of the field by Brown's to day. My devotional exercises to day have been delightful as well as proffitable. The cloud that almost obscured the Seas{?} of righteousness from my view at the beginning of the week has now quite past away & I am abiding under the shaddow of the Almighty.

SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 1870.

Our dear Bro. German preached to us this afternoon. Unfortunately there was a small congregation and he had almost to preach to a house full of emptiness. The Class-meeting was good although very small. Had considerable liberty by the grace of God, in talking to my dear fellow classmates. I went out to Dover to night to meeting. After Service, two young ladies came home with me--Miss Bessie Scott & Miss Annie Douglas. They are going with me to morrow.
