MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1870.
Charley and I have been ploughing to day. I sent Will up to Caleb Matthews to help them thresh. My Soules Wheat is still going off for seed. Ten bushellls and a half more went away to day. "What a man soweth, that shall he also reap. The righteous shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools. A man may deserve hell by a wicked life; but he cannot merit heaven by a good life: because he cannot do good but through the grace of God; and the merrit belongs to the grace by which it was wrought."
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1870.
Still we are trying to keep the plough going and have succeeded to day. The present is a splendid opportunity for seeding, the weather is so fine. I sold seven bushells more seed-wheat to day. Bro German was here this afternoon. One says that "the diligent, prayerful student of the Word has an illuminated Bible. To time is made known the word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God to meet the souls necessities. He alone receives day by day his daily bread."
