I love God just well as when my head was clear and my [written sideways thoughts] free. Just before dusk last night I felt a little better - dressed and came out into the sitting room where were beside Mrs G four of our gentleman boarders. The conversation was quite lively. at first concerning the discourses on and another had heard, then the characteristics of the speakers and lastly missionary work, and I entered into it with as much interest as any. by and by the church bells rang and the gentlemen all went out to service. Mrs. G. took up the Independent and and read Beechers sermon to me and to day I don't remember more than one sentence of it. After all had retired, I sat alone by the fire and tried to read Gods word I could read the words but they seemed to bring no meaning to my mind I read a chapter or two in that way and then shut my Bible, but I opened it again thinking, I can remember one verse.
