” 17. Have not prayed well for to-morrow—was tired, but did waste some time. Not attentive enough at Church.... Surely to-day’s negligence might humble me! ” 18. Rose thirty-five minutes late through carelessness. ” 19. Back to College. Shall I patiently resign my work as soon as He bids? ” 20. Evening examination shortened because delayed. It was not necessary, though I am idle. Ordered away. Thy will be done. ” 21. Sent to Hyde. Forty-seven. (This was her birthday.) For the grievous neglect of past time enter not into judgment. Sanctify the future! ” 22. Make me ever more constant to resign to Thee my will. ” 23. More ill, so tried to be idle, but did what thought I could. Vain thoughts of self-pity. ” 24. No Church. Have wasted time. Great inattention at prayer. ” 25. Talking, and therefore late, at least half an hour. Miss Belcher came. ” 27. George came. Was ill most of afternoon. Did nothing. ” 28. I thank Thee for hopes of more work. Make me more restful and faithful. Power of prayer fails. Grant me the spirit of holy fear. April 2. Back at Cheltenham. ” 3. I ought to have specially husbanded strength. ” 5. Tried, but not successfully, with my Confirmation children. Feeling too ill to do well. Thy will be done. ” 7. Holy Eucharist. Ill at night. The Lord thy refuge, and underneath the everlasting arms. ” 8. Better class. Was helped. ” 13. Not punctual because sleepless. Read Mr. Hinton’s _Life_ and was helped by it. Confirmation at Christchurch. _Summary_ [of the term]. Time wasted, idle prayer, boasting. Intercessions [neglected] because too selfish. ” 16. Came to Hyde [for the holidays].’ So ended a term of great anxiety. One medical opinion, doubtless referred to in her diary of March 20, was of such a nature, that Miss Beale thought she must resign her work at once. At Hyde her sisters persuaded her to rest and to see another doctor, who took a more hopeful view, which was wholly justified by her gradual return to health.
