" In the evening, Mr. Coan sung with us, and we read
the weekly report of our conduct.
"_5th, Sabbath_. In the forenoon, Dr. Wright preached from Acts
ii. 37. He said that we must know what sin is; that we are sinners;
and that we cannot save ourselves. In the afternoon, Priest Eshoo
preached from Luke xv. 32. The evening prayer meetings were very
pleasant.
"_9th_. A blessed morning. Some of the girls are thoughtful.
This was seen in the quiet at table and the silence in the kitchen.
The work was done both earlier and better than usual. During the
study hour, the voice of prayer sounded very sweetly in every room.
When the girls walked in the yard, it was very quiet, and so when
they came in. Our noon prayer meeting was very pleasant; Miss Rice
said a few words on the shortness of time. While Hanee prayed, some
wept. When Miss Rice dismissed us, no one moved; all were bowed on
their desks, weeping. She then gave opportunity for prayer, and
while I prayed, all were in tears. The girls have kept all the rules
well to-day. This evening, the communicants met with Miss Rice, and
the rest with Martha.
