November 8th 1845

I have just been looking over this book, and I think it might be very useful for me to write occasionally, for I had forgotten many things that are now brought to my recollection. We lost our retentive memories in the Fall, and now we require to take a little trouble to remember. We must earn our bread by the sweat of our brow. I have been endeavouring to aquire a knowledge of the Latin language for some time back, with Mr George Bain, teacher. As to spiritual matters, I have been moving on pretty easily these few weeks bygone. I have nothing uncommon to record. The Sabbath Shool teachers meet for prayer every Sabbath evening. I need to prepare for to-morrow, it being the last Sabbath that I will be in the Sabbath School before the communion.
