tend nursing myself to day; new bon
net not come home; tore my muslin
dress down stairs; got a new novel,
must be returned on Monday morning !;
wasn't shaved in time; don't like the
liturgy, always praying for the same
thing; don't like extemporary prayer;
don't like an organ, It's too noisy don t
like singing without music, makes me
nervous-the spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak; dislike an extemporary
sermon, it is too frothy; can't bear a
written sermon, too prosy nobody to-
day but our own minister, can't always
listen to the same preacher; don't like
strangers can't keep awake when at
church.
