Nov. 23. Friday. Howard went to Stockton and paid the first instalment S.J. Co. taxes, the money for which came in at the last minute. I have worried considerably over thinking how we were to get this money, but praise the Lord! He provides. I wish I could learn not to worry at all over these things. "Be not anxious," says the Saviour, "your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of these things." Father, perfect my trust." Have written to Ada, also have had callers all the P.M. among them Mr. & Mrs. Perks. She is still very feeble, but is all the time growing stronger. (T.S.R. 39. 2 P.M. 64. S.S. 55.)

(T.S.R. 38. 2 P.M. 65. S.S. 55.)

Nov. 27. Tuesday. The forenoon is rainy. Frank McIntire is insolvent and was betting on the election- too bad! As a professing Christian, he seems to have gone sadly out of the way. (T.S.R. 50. 2 P.M. 54. S.S. 47.)

There was a union service in our church in the evening, at which a collection was taken up for the family of St. Germain, lately moved here, who are sick and destitute.

When he went to Yolo to help drive home the stock, it being very chilly weather, he took cold in the wound in his ankle made the day he and Will Hunter killed the coyote. A shot from Will Hunter's gun stuck one of the bridge timbers - the coyote having taken refuge under the bridge, and glancing, struck George in the ankle, making a wound not much deeper than a scratch. But now that he has taken cold in it, it is seriously inflamed and painful, he is ordered not to step upon it more than is absolutely necessary. Received a letter from Willie. (T.S.R. 36. 2 P.M. 50. S.S. 45.)
