5 A.M. Tuesday Mar 29 1898 I am up this early in order to have time to learn more of Jesus and his love. For forty years I have been reading the story of his life. I have heard the Angel tell Josep "Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for He shall save his people from their Sins" I have knelt with the Shepards arround the manger: I have seen the wise men offering their gifts, I have followed him to the Jordan where he was baptised I have seen him engage in his great work, I have followed him as he has went about doing good, and have witnessed his suffering. I have watched the bright clouds recieve him out of sight, and I have heard the angels say: He will come again I have felt Him at work in my own heart pardoning my sins
