taken from entries made while engaged in the pas- toral work at Wooster: 1. That the Lord would show me day by day what I ought to do. 2. That He would strengthen me for all duty. 3. That He would show me a suitable house. 4. That He would bless the congregation in all things and my work in it. 5. That He would bless my wife and children. 6. That He would bless Monmouth College, and give it a President. 7. That He would make it apparent to my friends and the church that He had guided me in bringing me here ; that I had not done wrong, but right in coming. Following this table of prayer topics is this line of comment and date: "All the above answered to the letter. Jan. 8, 1880." For the first six months after he began his labors in Wooster, he was able to do but very little severe mental work. He spent his time in visiting the members of the congregation and re-organizing the congregation for Christian work. Difficulties that had arisen previous to his settlement there were to be settled members were to be reconciled; all this was happily effected. During his college years his preaching had often, on account of other pressing duties, to be done without adequate preparation. This he greatly regretted, but, in Wooster, after his Last Days. 65
