1882. May 18. Thursday. This morning we went early to meeting. Rev. Ed. Kimball conducted the prayer meeting. He had a Bible reading, starting with the text - For your shame ye shall have double" - showing the great and exceeding love of God - "The Lord hath rewarded her double for all her sins". Next they elected the Executive Committee, and then talked of the next place of meeting, but laid it on the table for consideration later. Mr. Kimball then made an address on the topic for the hour - "The teacher with his class" - he said the teacher must secure punctual attendance and constant attention. The teacher himself should be always present and prompt to time - should keep the Sabbath - should not use the tobacco - infact, should set a good example in every respect. At noon time, the Dr. came and went with me to meeting. In the afternoon they choose Los Angeles as the place of next meeting. Mr. Beckwith was then chosen as Moderator - he said he could not fill the place but he would "trot sound in it" - the place had been assigned to Majr Whittle, who had left. Nevertheless, he made an excellent address. Mrs. Richardson then spoke for Bands of Hope, of which she is General Superintendent. Her address was very earnest and interesting and well received. Then followed the Question Drawer, answered well by Rev. Mr. Beckwith. Dr. and Mr. Pascoe left and went out to select some new carpets for the house. I went to the evening meeting with Mr. Cooke, Mr. Holden, Alice Andrew and Ada. Rev. Mr. Sprecher made a very good address - subject - Paul as a Model for the S.S. teacher". It was reported that there were 208 delegates present. The weather has been uncomfortably warm today. (T.S.R. 47. 2 P.M. 87. S.S. 70.)
May 19. Friday. Mr. Pascoe went to Oakland today. Dr. and I have been out shopping, and on the street I met Sarah Ken. We have bought the new carpets and furniture, and I have been to the dressmakers. After dinner, Mr. Cooke and Ada brought me out to Lodi in buggy this afternoon. I wanted to stop there for rest and treatment, but I found Mrs. Tabor gone to Modesto, and all the patients better. Here
