May I be found watching.
_"March 11th._-- Dreadfully starved with these afternoon sermons. If they
go on like this, I really must stay at home, and feed upon the word."
_"March 12th._-- Alfred has written to his trustees, and announced his
coming marriage, and told them he is going to settle all his money upon
the Dodds. Papa quite agitated by this news: it did not come from Alfred;
one of the trustees wrote to papa. Oh, the blessing of Heaven will never
rest on this unnatural marriage. Wrote a faithful letter to Alfred while
papa was writing to our trustee."
_"March 13th._--My book on Solomon's Song now ready for publication. But
it is so difficult now-a-days to find a publisher for such a subject. The
rage is for sentimental sermons, or else for fiction (f) under a thin
disguise of religious biography."
_"March l4th._--Mr. Plummer, of whose zeal and unction I had heard so
much, was in the town and heard of me, and came to see me by appointment
just after luncheon. _Such_ a sweet meeting. He came in and took my hand,
and in that posture prayed that the Holy Spirit might be with us to make
our conversation profitable to us, and redound to His glory.
