User-Contributed Transcription yesterday morning, and took with him George's affirmative answer to the Call He is to go there in Oct. and supply two Sabbaths, and then arrange with them for Ordination the first of Nov. George says he does not feel nearly as happy as he has done, just now. He feels as if he had just shouldered all the realities and labors and trials of life. Was about to enter an untried and mysterious pathway. I can sympathise with these feelings a little at any rate. They are a kin to what some young women feel after promising to be married. They are feelings hardly to be explained, only to be felt, deep down in the heart. Trust, blessed trust in our overruling, and all sustaining Providence is the only antidote. A young man like George needs a constant spirit of prayer for himself, and Christian friends to hold him up by their prayers and counsels. May he have these and is safe. Yesterday P.M. just giving Dr B. time to getNettie DunbartonAug, 1860
