thus & so, -- It is astonishing to see
how wholly bound to creed &
Dogmas are they. I exposed
a good many of my heresies
to great surprise of all present -
Eliza J. said she would rather
that I should be a Slave Holder
or believe in Slave holding, than a
disbeliever in the Plenary Inspi-
ration of the Bible - thus
is it belief not Christian Benevo-
lence, that is made the Modern
test of Christianity - When will
the world wake from its stupor
& look truth strait in the face.

This A.M. the ground was
white with snow & frozen
rain, & all the buds & stems
on the trees were encased with
ice - there is great reason to
fear that fruit must be injured
by this severe frost & cold --

29 Saturday - Cold rain

Chataque Country

Woman's Rights Convention
held Tuesday Dec. 26th 1854
at Mayville in the Court House.

Marrietta Richmond
of Columbia County in com
pany with self stopped at
the house of Cyrus Under-
wood. The weather warm
& rainy - Sleighing gone, &
wagoning dangerous on account
of the heavy snowdrifts --

Notwithstanding, the Towns
of Chataque, Clymer, Ellicott
Harmony Stackleton, Sher-
man & Hartfield were repre
sented - whole number of
towns in the county, [24??] --

Though the meeting was
small, there seemed an
earnest seeking after the
new Truth -- By invita
tion I went to Sherman a
distance of 9 miles & spoke to
a large audience Wednesday
evening - never saw more en
thusiasm on the subject, even the
Orthodox Churches vied with each
other, who should open their doors
