The Journals of Martha E. McMillan

19 March Saturday (Editor’s Note: Normal day, Mary still sick.) 20 March Sabbath Bright sunshine - but a sickly glaze to it - and a cool air. On account of the measles in the family no one at church but Mr. Mac and Homer. (Editor’s Note: Normal rest of the day; Dr. Hunt visited again that evening.) 21 March Monday (Editor’s Note: Mr. Mac and Martha visit Temple Baptist church. There Martha has some nice thoughts about Christians and the Bible.) Homer at the meeting too. His remarks very founded on the Bible - God’s great library. He said the Bible has been neglected very much by Christian people. We can only know the Christ as we know Him in this book. One thing he said which impressed me was that if anyone would read the Bible carefully through without prejudice that it would lead that one to Christ. (Editor’s Note: Richard and Mary were both listed in the bulletin to be prayed for.) 22 March Tues. (Editor’s Note: It rained much today. Martha took care of Richard while most everyone else went to Temple Baptist to hear Campbell Morgan speak.) 23 March Wed. (Editor’s Note: Mary finally felt well enough to leave her room. Martha received a newspaper from Cedarville with an article about the death of Arch McMillan. He was 57 years old and died of pneumonia. Today was also the day of a sale at the McMillan house in Cedarville.) 24 March Thurs. (Editor’s Note: Mrs. Hunt went to the dentist for a sore tooth. Mr. Mac and Martha had dinner on Spring St. [which helped me find the area in Los Angeles where they stayed]. The rest of the evening was pretty normal.) 25 March Friday Susie here which makes the days brighter. (Editor’s Notes: That evening they went to another Campbell Morgan meeting, which again was a full house. At a different meeting later, someone preached on Jesus, Mary, and Martha.) 200
