SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1870.

We have been able to draw in with two teams to day and by so doing have succeeded in geting in all the wheat excepting one load in the orchard. There have been about twenty six loads, in all. Neighbour Tisdale has kindly helped me to day with his boy & team, hence our success, with the blessing of God, has come. How pleasant it is to have good neighbours. I have been very happy to day in Jesus. He has favoured, with His presence all the day long, to the joy of my poor soul. Precious Saviour!

SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1870.

The weather has been exceedingly warm to day. This afternoon however we have had another thunder-shower which has somewhat cooled the atmosphere. This was the day for our service and in the absence of our dear Bro. German who has gone off on a two weeks tour through the States, we had Bro. Smith of Simcoe to preach to us. He is one of our local Preachers. I was sorry that the congregation was so small as this is the first time that our good Brother has been with us.
