TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1870.
Working still, as hard as ever. Making some progress too. Thanks God. I am fully satisfied that without His blessing we can do nothing even in a worldly point of view. Last night we were visited by an abundant shower of rain. Today we finished cuting the Big Flat and besides we got in four loads. one of my horses is quite sick with the distemper. This prevents us from driving with two teams as I intended. Henry has been helping us again to day.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1870.
It rained most of the forenoon so that we could not work at the hay. This afternoon however we got at our work. We are now geting the 'Big Flat' pretty well under way and we hope to finish it to morrow. We had Mr. Ebersoule to see us to night. I am now reading in my Bible the last of first Samuel. It contains some beautiful lessons of Godliness and forbearance. Such examples are indeed worthy to be followed. Lord help me, to love my neighbour as myself.
