A hot, sultry day. There is no news of any importance. We
are giving close attention to the very sick and the severely wounded, some of
whom are dying every day.
A SET OF RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That I may from this day learn something new from the
Scriptures every day, and that I may obey the laws of God as near as I can, in
entreating my fellow men, and in doing good for the Master's sake.
Resolved, That I may once a day or more offer thanks to my
Savior for his help; and, above all, that I may try to live a true Christian
until death. May God help me so to live, is my prayer.
