SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1870.

Charley is ploughing still. I picked up cider apples this forenoon. This afternoon our old friend D. W. Horton of North Pelham came, and of couse I visited with him. Mr. Cork came with him. They are staying all night with us. My prayers are being answered daily. The will of my Heavenly Father is becoming more and more manifest by the assurance which he gives me. My hopes have vastly brightened in a few days. I have now no doubt but that the desire of my heart shall be given.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1870.

The past has been been a happy Sabbath at home. It has not been our privelege to attend any public Means of Grace; yet I have been abundantly profitted at home while reading the word and holding Communion with my Redeemer. My life has been dedicated afresh to his service to day and prayer is that I may have grace to serve him with greater diligence than ever before. Also that my whole life may be hidden{?} with Christ in God.
