Today I made two legs for my table. I had a table here
that had only two legs & they screwed in. I asked some

said no, they had no tools for the purpese. I went to

Sunday May 9° 1897

I did not go to the morning service - was kept busy in
my house & bathing &c. I took dinner with my friend
D'angremond. Come up in time for p.m. service. Mr.
Wooding led. It rained & there was no congregation only
2, so we had a little prayer service. At night, service
at A.P.C.M. & I preached not many of us but we enjoyed
it just the same. May Gods blessings rest on His word
and may the Holy Spirit accompany the Word and take it
to the hearts of men & bring them to the saving grace
of Jesus Christ.
