her how He had a feeling for
our infirmities, being Himself tried and tempted; and so she was
comforted, and became quite cheerful. On leaving her I felt what a
blessed privilege it is to be able to comfort the sick poor. A poor
brother sent to my house to-day for something to nourish him, as he
felt quite weak. I prepared some broth and gave it to him, which he
ate with a relish, and that passage from the word came to my mind,
'Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these, ye have

"MARCH 8th.--Felt much wearied with visits and climbing stairs, and
was glad to return to a cheerful fireside, and settle for the

"One poor woman asked me if I would get her a Bible, and she would
