User-Contributed Transcription to overcome every bad habit & make me like my Savior. I will plead with him this to do. Perhaps he'll hear my cry and make me successful. I know I do not deserve so much favor for I am a sinner. But such Christ came to save.Oct. 26- Have been thinking how much happier we might be in this world than we are. Why need we be otherwise than happy? Surely we cannot be if we strive to make those about us happy. I think I shall make more effort to do this than I have done, with the help of God. "This earth is full of beauty As other worlds above And if we did our duty It might be full of love."I must learn to be more cheerful always.
