User-Contributed Transcription fear that I am not a child of God, yet I can not give up my hope in Jesus. Simply to his cross I cling, and if I am ever saved it will be through is infinite mercy and great goodness. When we waked this morning it was snowing nicely, but it cleared off beautifully this afternoon, and now the stars are shining brightly. I have been to church all day. Mr Swift preached very well as usual. His text, "Godliness is profitable unto all things having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come". In the morning he showed how godliness is profitable in the world to come, and this afternoon how it is profitable in this life. He talked very good indeed. We had a meeting at the half hour bell. Miss Hamilton and Miss Jane Gilfillan attended. Frank Harback is sick, poor child I fear that her health is not sufficient for her to remain here, and I believe she is going home. We had a sweet meeting in Miss Gilbert's room tonight. Oh Mary, I think we have such dear good teachers here, and so many privileges. I hope that we shall improve them as we ought.Next Sunday I hope to be at home, oh how happy I shall be. It seems like such a long time since I kissed my Mother, father, sisters and little brother. But I have got to the end of my paper and must bid you good bye, Libbie, and all of the section would send love to you if they know that I was writing, I know.
