Aug 22. Sabbath Not very well did not attend meeting in the morning - went in the afternoon and heard a sermon from Psa 80-16. But I fear I did not profit by it. My thought were everywhere but where they should be - How angry minds & God be with me. Oh, may I repent truly and turn from my evil ways to my God. I do wish to see my sinfulness and feel it I do wish for more of the influences of the Holy Spirit and for a Spirit of ardent prayer. Aug 23. Ch for God's blessing to day without his presence I can do nothing. I need that wisdom wh. is from above wh. is profitable to direct. May God's blessings rest on my dear parents and brothers as they begin this week - I have reason to be very thankful to you for the kind ones I meet here. Dr. D. one of the physicians here comes by often to supply with all the medicine I need and seems to feel quite an interest in me and Miss Beacher's enterprise. He has left me some medicine unclear it will do good.
