Daybook (9 May - 9 July 1838)
20th I had an interview with cousin Seth
woodruff which had become a young man
of about 16 he left us & returned home I
took a walk alone as the Sun was setting
in the western sky I walked upon the bank
of the canal & also I went up the old
mill lane It brought pass to recollection
the days of my youth when I was wont to
travel this road with Philo & Asahel & others
but time waits for no man. I preached
at fathers house at early candle light to
a congregation of rich men I had the
spirit of preaching I spoke upon the second
coming & reign of Christ job 19 ch I thank
God for giving me this privlige of preaching
to my former acquaintance & friends
