She left behind her sermon notes and a "Monitor," or diary, which had what she called a black list of her childish wrong-doings, omissions of duty, etc., while the white list showed the duties she performed. Though she was evidently absolutely conscientious these are the only entries on the "Black Leaf":-- "July 8. I left my staise on the bed. " 9. Misplaced Sister's sash. " 10. Spoke in haste to my little Sister, spilt the cream on the floor in the closet. " 12. I left Sister Cynthia's frock on the bed. " 16. I left the brush on the chair; was not diligent in learning at school. " 17. I left my fan on the bed. " 19. I got vexed because Sister was a-going to cut my frock. " 22. Part of this day I did not improve my time well. " 30. I was careless and lost my needle. Aug. 5. I spilt some coffee on the table." Not a very heinous list. Here are entries from the good page of her little "Monitor":-- WHITE LEAF. "July 8. I went and said my Catechism to-day.
