OLD MUSINGS ON A NEW YEAR



Friday, January 1, 1897
Another year has just ended and another one has begun. God grant we may do better this year than we did the last.
M. L. Dickson

Sunday, January 3, 1897
No meeting. No Sunday school. No prayer meeting either abroad or at home. No reading of the Scriptures. At this rate we will lose ground and be lost. Let us not forget daily prayer, and may God help us.

    Great-Grandpa's diaries are dry for the most part. He just talks about the weather and a word or two about the day's work or play. But sometimes he waxes a bit philosophical, and that's fun.

    When Aunt Lynn and Grandma Ina compiled Ina's story in 1947, they relied on Great-grandpa's diaries for dates.
