Diary Extract 55 1761 June 14

Lord's Day, June 14 This day we were prevented sitting down at the Lord's table by our pastor's indisposition. If the Lord should take him from us by this affliction what a stroke would it be. During the public service I had reason to complain of wandering thoughts. The text was A wise son heareth his father's instruction. To hear instruction includes in it an earnest desire to profit by what we hear, diligent attention to it and a desire to reduce it to practice. Blessed are they that hear the word of God so as to keep it.
