grown older and wiser, yet we looked upward tonight also and smiled and we thought of three years ago. It was a pleasant walk we took tonight, and at the Lyceum I thought many glances were directed to this returned Californian. Dr. E. S. Porter delivered a very fine lecture on the "Perversions of Science," to which I gave very good attention as Henry observed. In fact I was very much pleased with it, and consider it as one of the best lectures I have heard this winter. Hugh D. and Ellen accompanied Carrie and Nat, and on our return all came in. Henry did not stay long as it is necessary for him to keep early hours.
Friday, February 27th. Weather pleasant. Sewed in the morning. In the afternoon called on Mr Lockwood, the tract superintendent, and distributed ? tracts, then called on Mr. Strong and Mrs Stearns, and returned very much fatigued, yet in the evening attended church prayer meeting at Mr Wilde's. My little name-sake Emma Wilde is one of the prettiest babies I ever saw. She was in her mother's arms when we came in, but slept quietly in her cradle while the services went on. We all walked home in company with Mr & Mrs Hudson.
