SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1870.

The snow that fell a few days ago has not all gone yet but some of it remains. The roads are geting very bad and it is nasty all arround. Charley has been threshing out some oats for the horses. I have been geting some repairing done ready for winter. I have long desired of God that He would give me a companion, and have often found myself murmuring because the blessing was not granted sooner. But now by the grace of God I am becoming more than ever convinced that He has lead me by the right path.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1870.

We have not been away from home to day, on account of the bad roads. This afternoon we were diisappointed in not having our minister present with us. But after all we had a happy season together in Jesus. How often are his words verified "Where two or three are met together in my name there am I in the midst". I have just finished reading Ashworth's strange Tales from Humble Life, and have found it a blessing to my soul. It is much calculated to increase the Christians thankfullness and gratitude to God.
