Moderate and clear. Divine service both parts of the day and an evening visit to the Governor.

Attended divine service and heard Dr. Harris preach from Isaiah 33. 9. “The earth mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down; Sharon is like a wilderness and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.” A sensible but not very interesting discourse. Afternoon Mr. Austin from Matthew 6. 9. “Thy kingdom come.” Quite flat 138and on the whole I was sorry that my father had not a better opportunity for edification.

Read a discourse being the first in the second volume of the English Preacher, by Tillotson from John 1. 47. “Jesus saw Nathaniel coming unto him and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile.” Very sensible. In the evening I accompanied my father to Governor Everett’s to pay a visit. Nobody there but the family, Mr. Brooks and a relative of the Governor’s. Conversation of no interest.
