Mrs. M. and myself went to St. John's Church yesterday, and
heard an excellent sermon from Bishop Wilmer; service read by Dr. Norwood.
Encouraging news continues from the West. I am still anxious about our home.
Mr. ––– is sick, and the prospect of getting a house diminishing. Perhaps I
should take comfort from the fact that a great many persons are homeless as
well as ourselves. If Mr. ––– were well, I should not feel so hopeless. The
girls, too, are visiting the country, expecting us to get an impossible home,
and I do dislike to disappoint them. Oh, that we could be perfectly satisfied,
knowing that we are in the Lord's hands!
