January 14th 1884

Rested better than expected. Slept five hours during night, and was able to rest in bed till half-past seven. The greater part of yesterday I was reading the bible, and finding reproof and encouragement while reading Job 42., "Now mine eye seeth thee: wherefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes." A blessed seeing, and such a One to behold, glorious in holiness, great in loving kindness and tender mercies, coming near to instruct a troubled child.
