knows all about it and will doubtless bring our highest good and
his own glory out of it. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Blessed is the name of the Lord.
=26, 27.= Spent the time largely in communing with God. Wrote some
letters.
=29.= Wife and I drove to Tiffin. When about one mile from the
city our beast, that we thought very safe and quiet, began to make
efforts to run off. I held her, when she began to kick desperately.
I turned her to the side of the way and got her stopped. Before
this I was out. I told Sarah to get out behind if she could. We had
a top-buggy. The curtain was rolled up, but she could not get out.
The beast was loose from the buggy all but the holdbacks. Sarah
got out and stood a moment, when she found that she was hurt.
Some friends came up just then. I gave the mare to one to hold and
I helped Sarah to the fence, where she sat upon a stone. We found
that she had been hit upon both limbs. On one the mare's hoof (she
had no shoes) cut through linen duster, dress, skirt, and stocking,
and cut a small wound to the bone. She had much pain. Three or
four men kindly tendered all the help they could. They took us in
a one-horse wagon to Tiffin, having fastened our buggy behind, and
one led the mare. We came to Sister Lewis'. A small congregation
gathered and I preached a short discourse, of course on holiness.
=July 2, 1878.= Got a crutch for Sarah. She concluded that she
could go home by railroad. Took her to the train and committed her
to the care of the Lord. I drove the mare and buggy, trusting in
God for his protection from all harm by the way. The Lord preserved
me from harm. Found dear Wife had safely made the trip.
=4.= Spent much of the day picking berries all alone with the Lord.
Meditated upon the goodness of God in continuing our national
blessings.
=6.= Spent the day in prayer, meditation, and reading. Impressed
with the duty of preaching against the enormous sin and galling
yoke of sectarianism.
=7.= Sabbath. God helped me and blessed me in exposing the yokes of
Satan by which God's children are brought under bondage.
On the 12th of July, 1878, Brother Warner, accompanied by his wife,
made a second trip to Indiana. He stopped in Goshen with Mr. Guiss,
his brother-in-law, on the 18th. As the latter was a bold and
reckless infidel, he did not enjoy his visit there. He felt that
he was staying where the Savior was excluded and that he could be
admitted only apart from him.
