Friday June 13, 1760, While engaged in the labours of this day my thoughts have been employed on what relates to my soul and my brethren in the church of God. I was much delighted in considering myself and them as pilgrims, travelling towards the Heavenly Jerusalem. O that my conduct may always show that I am seeking a better country than that in which I now dwell.
