SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1870.

I stayed all night last night at Mr. Wilsons and slept with Frank. I stayed on account of rain. Came home again this morning and found the road very muddy. Went out again after dinner, all hands of us to see the show Township Show. I called to see some sheep on the road at Mr. Mr. Thurlow's place, which I have thought to add to my flock. Had quite a pleasant dinner at the Show but staid rather late and had a disagreeable job doing chores.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1870.

We have not been away from home to day It being the day for our own service. The weather is delightful, more like June than October. Our dear minister was present with us to day and gave us an excellent discourse from "The fowls did light on the carcases but Abraham drove them away. He likened the fowls to sinful thoughts which are always intruding upon our endeavors to worship God. Our only remedy is to do as Abraham did--drive them away. I have been much proffited by the sermon to day.
