March 24-30

At church and hear Mr. Boyden....Miss Vallant is with me all Saturday and Sunday night. Lizzie Dee spends Monday night with me. My visit is now ended. Tuesday brother Jim takes me home in the Rockaway and I find them all well. Set in right to work. The garden needs me much; also my school. Cousin Lou Leitch makes us a visit this week with all the children ....Good Friday, March 29th, I attend church and hear such a beautiful sermon from Mr. Meade....Willie Meade read the service. The holy lenten Season is now past and has it brought me a blessing? Oh, how bitterly I've desired one. How few of the resolves made at the commencement have been acted upon and how many of them have come to naught. Feel that this greatest of Christian virtues, Charity, has been but little practiced by me. May God give me strength to keep a strict watch upon my thoughts and doings. Letters this week from Sue and Aunt Ria. Finish reading Prescott's History of Persia. Sam with us Saturday night.
