1. Yesterday morning I went over to see P a r t r i d g e , & found 128 him I think much worse than when I l a s t v i s i t e d him.-From thence I r e p a i r e d to the Steamer, where I found M r . G i t t i n s & Mr.Homfray among to passengers f o r Sydney. M r . G i t t i n s had been very unwell on Saturday, & so prevented from Going to Sydney i n h i s boat. He intended c o n s u l t i n g Dr.Muller i n Sydney, & Mr.Homfray i s to take charge at Canterbury, w a i t i n g the a r r i v a l of the f a m i l y . They purpose going up by Friday Steamer, & to come up here tomorrow, & so depart from t h i s the next day: but unless the weather be more favourable tomorrow than i t has been today we s h a l l h ardly expect them.- I t has rained very h e a v i l y at times today, & s t i l l continues (past 10 P.M.) i n very heavy showers. This morning I went out f o r a l i t t l e a f t e r b r e a k f a s t , & c a l l e d at Worley's, O v e r a l l ' s & P a r r y ' s . - The remainder of the day i n my study.

2. Rained very hard again a l l t h i s forenoon, which made us almost despair of seeing the G i t t l n s , but we were mistaken, f o r they a r r i v e d about 2 o'clock, having l e f t Tonga Vale i n the r a i n . - The party c o n s i s t e d of a l l the l a d i e s , w i t h Charles & Mr.Alfred Homfray.- They succeeded, i n s p i t e of the dr e a d f u l weather, i n g e t t i n g everything put on board the "John M i t c h e l l " by about 2 or 3 o'clock t h i s morning.

3. The weather t h i s morning was much b e t t e r , & seemed i n c l i n e d to favour our guests w i t h a t o l e r a b l e passage to Sydney. We a l l accompanied them over to the Steamer & took the opportunity of showing M r s . G i t t i n s the Church, which she had not seen before. The p a r t i n g took place i n the v e s t r y , where I l e f t Ann & the two g i r l s & saw them a l l safe on board the Black Swan, & they were soon away & out of s i g h t , tho' I t h i n k they are never l i k e l y to be out of mind - We s h a l l miss them much.

9. Returned from Mangrove yesterday, a f t e r a more than 129. ordinary disagreeable journey, owing to the d r e a d f u l s t a t e of the roads. I had to go & r e t u r n by the Sawmill, W i l l i a m s ' bridge being washed away by the f l o o d . -I had but a s m a l l congregation at the Lower Church -the weather s t i l l being r a i n y , & some of them not expecting me, i n consequence of the bad weather. At the Upper Church I had no s e r v i c e . They thought i t would be morning s e r v i c e , & a few were there then, but f i n d i n g I d i d not come, concluded I had not a r r i v e d i n the creek.- On Monday I went down the creek as f a r as James Byrnes', c a l l i n g at a l l the places by the way. I d i d not go to Mr.Cox's as he was away i n Sydney.- Tuesday went up the creek as f a r as Chaselings, a f t e r f i r s t v i s i t i n g A t k i n s , Bowden, & Pemberton, & yesterday I returned home.- I saw Wm.Woodbury on Monday, & l e a r n t from h i s own mouth that the report of himself & f a m i l y having gone over to the Church of Rome, was q u i t e t r u e . - Having taken the step, he of course puts a bold face upon i t , & professes to have acted from c o n v i c t i o n , though I am sure i t would puzzle him to poin t out the d i f f i e r e n c e between the two systems. This afternoon I went over to see P a r t r i d g e , whom I found much the same as he was l a s t week.- C a l l e d a l s o on Mrs.Lewis, whose baby died on Sunday l a s t . [Tl Thus has she been deprived of both her c h i l d r e n w i t h i n the space of 8 days.- She seems to bear the t r i a l s ubmissively.

16. The r a i n y weather continued over Sunday, so that I had very samll congregations both at Gosford & at Kincumbar. On my way back from Kincumr. i n the evening, my horse got bogged under me i n one of the d r e a d f u l quag-

On Monday morning, a f t e r w r i t i n g a note to Mr.Osborne on the subject of the Punt Road, I went over to East Gosford, & made a few c a l l s there. In the afternoon I rode up to Blue Gum F l a t , to see one George Gray, whom I c a l l e d i n Church on Sunday, w i t h a widow named S e a r l e , whom I had p r e v i o u s l y always looked upon as Mrs.Crooks.- I c a l l e d a l s o a t Newmans.-Tuesday morning Marianne & Emily accompanied me over t o the Steamer to meet cousin Kate, whom we expected, & found there. Stayed at home i n the afternoon & pruned a few v i n e s . Yesterday I had a long day out to the Sawmill.- Met Mr.Lette there.

He always expresses himself very g r a t e f u l f o r my v i s i t s & I hope & pray they may be made p r o f i t a b l e to him. On going down to the steamer I found C h a s . G i t t i n s on board, having come down to take the boat up to Sydney. In the afternoon I f i n i s h e d pruning my v i n e s . -On Saturday afternoon I went up to Blue Gum F l a t , where I had s e r v i c e , & baptized two i n f a n t s . [1] Yesterday being a most b e a u t i f u l day, I had f u l l congregations a t both churches.- Charles took h i s departure t h i s afternoon. I went w i t h him as f a r as Point C l a i r , & a f t e r v i s i t i n g the S c o t t s , returned i n my boat.

He had been to Sydney f o r medical advice, but the Doctor ( M u l l e r ) t o l d him he was too f a r gone, & he could do nothing more f o r him.

He seemed desirous to partake of the Communion before I l e f t home, so we arranged f o r F r i d a y afternoon. I went to the Steamer, & was glad to f i n d my saddle come back again, w e l l r e p a i r e d . Yesterday morning I went up to the Church expecting a couple to meet me there to be married, but they d i d not come.

I t was a most l o v e l y day & the b e a u t i f u l scenery of the Hawkesbury showed to great advantage. But the p r e t t y scenery does not compensate f o r the many p r i v a t i o n s they are doomed to s u f f e r i n t h e i r i s o l a t e d p o s i t i o n . The t o t a l absence of s u i t a b l e s o c i e t y , & the d i f f i c u l t y of access w i t h Sydney, are ser i o u s drawbacks, which render t h e i r s i t u a t i o n a very undesirable one.

6. Made an e a r l y s t a r t (about 7 o'clock) & reached Chaslings by eleven where I enjoyed a cup of t e a , & an hour's' r e s t , while N e l l y a l s o had a feed of corn, & then, resuming me r i d e about noon, reached home comfortably

Reached Yarramalong i n good time, & had but a poor congregation. Rain came on before I reached Wyong, where I found about 20 assembled. I t continued showery a l l the evening & night. Repaired to Duralong for a lodging.

January 1861.

7. my congregation I had a bad headache, which lasted 154. a l l the day.- Mr.Osborne & Hely put me safe over the swamp by a safer path than the ordinary road & then I pursued my lonely way towards Cabbage Tree. Called at Freemans by the way & not far from his house I met Wm. & Fanny Hargraves, who had ridden out to meet me.

11. Intended going over to Kincumbar t h i s afternoon, but Mrs.Mann coming to spend the day I remained at home, & took her home i n the boat towards evening. We had an eclipse of the sun today, & a very d i s t i n c t view of i t , being a lovely clear day. More than half the sun was obscured, which brought on a l i t t l e dimness, somewhat approaching t w i l i g h t . - Todays post brought me a l e t t e r from the Bishop, announcing his intention of v i s i t i n g us i n A p r i l , so I must begin my Confirmation classes again. 1 also received a l e t t e r from Mr.Rolleston acquainting me with particulars of the marriage of Henry Pantlin & Druscella Wilson, which was brought about by means of

11. forged consent. They were married by Mr.Allwood at 155. St.Jame's Church. Sydney.

12. Thinking i t advisable that Wilson should be informed of the particulars of his daughters marriage, I rode out t h i s morning to Torigal, to acquaint him therewith, & read Mr.Rolleston's l e t t e r to him. I think i t doubtful whether he w i l l prosecute the g u i l t y parties, on account of the heavy penalty incurred. I called on a l l the residents at Torigal, & then returned straight home again.

13. Sunday. Congregations at Gosford & t Kincumbar scanty today, but very good at Erina, nothwithstanding a rainy evening.

14. Rather a long day of v i s i t i n g today. 1 went out as far as Mrs.Gowdie's, where I had not been for a very long time, & after staying an hour or so with her, returned by way of the Sawmill, & called on a l l the folks there.

22. Went to Mooney Creek today, where I found a congregation of about a dozen & baptized 2 infants, one woman, [1] (Mrs.Lewis) had come a l l the way from the Hawkesbury, to get her c h i l d baptized. I also found a condidate for Confirmation i n Eleanor Jones.

26. Day for service at Torigal - Had a congregation of about 157. 20, & gathered a few more Confirmation pupils on the way.

27. One of my bright Sundays, i . e . good congregations at a l l three places. At Kincumbar & Erina there were between 50 & 60. I never had so large a congregation at Erina.

28. Having appointed my catechumens to meet me at the School t h i s morning 1 went over after breakfast, & had a very nice begining with 8. I t was excessively hot walking over, & I think that must have caused a headache which came on i n the afternoon, & prevented my going to see Mr.Nunn, as I purposed doing.

29. Went up to Wyoming i n the morning to see Mr.Nunn, whom I found s t i l l confined to his bed i n a helpless condition. On the way back I looked i n at Mr.Hely's.-Intended going to Erina after dinner to v i s i t Mrs.Edmunds but the excessive heat, added to a gathering storm which threatened i n the westwd induced me to defer my v i s i t t i l l tomorrow,- The Miss Donnisons came & took dinner with us, intending to go on to Wyoming i n the afternoon, but the approaching storm made them also postpone thei r ride t i l l another day, & after a l l the storm kept off t i l l l a t e at night. Mr. & Mrs. Lee came also, & stayed the night here.

30. Went to Erina after breakfast to v i s i t Mrs.Edmunds-found her very i l l indeed, evidently sinking fa s t . Remained sometime with her & then went over to Kincumbar, to meet my class at the Church, 3 boys & 4 g i r l s . I had just time to reach home before a tremendous thunder

January 1861.

30. storm came on. One awful crash of thunder startled us 158. not a l i t t l e as we sat at tea. I found a new horse had been deposited i n the stable during the day by Miss Nunn. A present very kindly bestowed Mby Mrs.Nunn upon Marianne.

31. At home a l l today preparing for Mangrove, & reading-Great thunderstorm again this afternoon, with very heavy ra i n & some h a l l .

February 1861.

1. After the very heavy r a i n of l a s t night, I thought the road to Mangrove would be i n a much f i t t e r condition for t r a v e l l i n g i f I allowed i t a day to dry, moreover 1 expected this evenings post might bring me answers to my enquiry about Joseph Adamson, by which I should be guided as to taking Yarramalong on my way back from Mangrove next week: so I resolved to postpone my journey t i l l tomorrow.- Towards evening Marianne & I took a ride up to Wyoming to see how Mr.Nunn was, & t r y the new horse at the same time. Found Mr.Nunn the same as usual, neither better nor worse. John Battley overtook us, & came home with us.- My expected l e t t e r s did not come.

2. Found this morning that "Nelly's" hind leg was much swollen, & therefore she was quite u n f i t to carry me to Mangrove.- I was compelled thus to borrow Mariannes grey, & started soon after ten.- Had a hot ride up, but was glad to fi n d the road much improved. A new bridge over the creek to begin with, & a party i s at work clearing i t a l l the way through.

3. Very hot morning - followed by thunderstorm i n the afternoon, which

February 1861.

3. prevented many from attending church in-the-afteunoon 159. & gave me a small congregation at the Lower Church. I gave notice at each Church of the approaching Confirmation i n A p r i l , i n v i t i n g candidates to meet me at the respective places on Monday & Tuesday morning.

4. Went to the Lower Church i n the morning where 6 young people met me & after spending about 2 hours with them 1 went to Richard Woodbury's, but no further, for I was attacked with one of my bad headaches, so returned to my quarters for the rest of the day -Another great Thunderstorm towards evening with heavy ra i n .

5. Started from Watkins' early, & after making sundry c a l l s , reached the Upper Church about j p 10. where 6 more young folks were waiting for me.- Remained with them t i l l about one o'clock, & then, after called on Mr.Douglass, rode home, expecting to be overtaken by another thunderstorm, but i t passed away northward. Got home very t i r e d about 8 p m

6. Rested today t i l l about 4 p.m: when, i n the midst of a great thunderstorm a knock came at the door, on opening which 1 found a messenger (James Hastings) from Mrs.Edmonds, begging me to go out at once to see her as she had broken a bloodvessel & was dangerously i l l . I had my horse caught & saddled without delay, & on reaching the house found her very i l l , having thrown up quantities of blood. She expressed to me, i n the course of my v i s i t a desire to receive the Holy Communion, & I arranged to v i s i t her again tomorrow morning prepared to administer i t to her.

7. Went according to appointment & administered to Sacrament to MrS.Edmonds

February 1861 -

7. Old Warburton joined us & seemed thankful for the 160. opportunity. 1 had invited Fletcher also, at Mrs.Edmunds request, but he declined coming, I suppose fearing that he was not f i t & prepared on so short a notice -I went over to Kincumbar i n the afternoon, to meet my Confirmation Class there taking dinner with Mrs.Wm.Nunn by the way.

8. Very Aainy day, remained at home, occupied i n writing c h i e f l y .

9. Sermon writing i n the morning - Took a walk down to Coulters about noon, i n the afternoon rode out to see Mrs.Edmonds, & was surprised to find her so much better, s i t t i n g i n the outer room. On the way home I was caught i n one of the heaviest thundershowers I was ever exposed to.

10. Quinquagesima Sunday - Good Congregation at Gosford, very poor at both Kincumbar & Erina. The day was fi n e , but 1 suppose the wet state of the roads frightened them.

11. Went up to the School after breakfast & met my class of catechumens with whom 1 spent about 2 hours, & then, after c a l l i n g on Mrs.Mcintosh, came home to dinner - The Miss Donnisons arrived just as we were s i t t i n g down & joined us. on their way to c a l l on Mrs.Hely. Maud Harrison came i n the afternoon, & along with Marianne & Emily formed another Confirmation class, a l l of them acquitting themselves we l l .

12. Intended going to Blue Gum Flat today, but i t rained & looked so unpromising that I altered my purpose, & remained at home sermon writing instead of Saturday, so as to have that day free for v i s i t i n g Towards evening 1 rode up to v i s i t Mr.Nunn, who i s s t i l l confined with his Rheumatism.

17. Sunday - Fine day - but congregations only middling.

18. Class at the School i n the morning, at home afternoon. Went to see "Jim" again, found him much weaker. Had to t e l l him who I was.

19. Rather a long ride today to v i s i t Frost's family at Tuggerah beach. I lengthened my ride by turning off to Tumbyumby (Edwd Taylor's) for the purpose of paying Mrs.D.Berry a v i s i t as I should have done long since. She appears quite hardened, & I could get nothing out of her beyond an acknowledgement of her error, & her determination to persist therein & brave the consequences.- Catechized Frosts children & then returned home.

20. At home a l l the morning - to Kincumbar for class i n afternoon.

21. Rode up to Wyoming i n the morning to see Mr.Nunn, who seems to be improving a l i t t l e , though very slowly. In the afternoon I read the funeral service over the remains of poor old James H a l l Kinder, who died yesterday morning.

26. At home a l l the morning. After dinner I went to see Mrs.Edmunds, whom I had not v i s i t e d for more than a week. Found her i n appearance, much better than 1 expected to see her, but she conplains of much suffering. Called to see Fletcher also, who came from Sydney by today's steamer, & seemed none the worse for his voyage.- Saw Mrs.Wm.Crane also, on my way back. She has been to Sydney for medical treatment at the Infirmary, & seems very delicate. They told her there that her heart i s affected, & she must avoid much exertion. Among the l e t t e r s per post t h i s evening was one from the Bishop enclosing a note from the Attorney General respecting a l e t t e r which I wrote to him a fortnight ago on behalf of E!Hargraves.

March 1861.

2. S t i l l showery weather. Went to the post for l e t t e r s i n the forenoon, as the mail did not arrive as usual yesterday afternoon. Among the l e t t e r s was one from the Bishop respecting Mr.Molster, & his appointment to Mangrove. He speaks highly of him. Rode up to see Mr.Nunn after dinner & was very glad to find him r e a l l y better & s i t t i n g up. I joined him i n a cup of tea at his bed side. They very kindly offered me Mr.Nunn's horse "Pat" for my journey to Yarramalong tomorrow, & I gladly accepted the offer knowing that the state of the roads would be such as to require a good strong horse to p u l l me through the deep mud.

3. Sunday. Eleven years ago t h i s very day I commenced my ministry at Mangrove Creek.- Rose a l i t t l e before 5 this morning. I t had rained a great deal throughout the night, & was s t i l l raining steadily with every appearance of a settled r a i n ; so I abandoned a l l thought of starting on my journey & went to bed for another hour. But between 6 & 7 i t began to clear up, & seemed so determined to be f i n e , that 1 got my breakfast 6 started about i p 7. I did not f e e l at a l l sure however of accomplishing my ri d e , & the farther I proceeded the more water I found i n the creeks & g u l l i e s , u n t i l , coming to Wyong Creek, I found i t very high, & quite Impassable. Mr.Gilchison was on

3. the road waiting for me, & he agreed with me that i t 164 would hardly be possible to reach Yarramalong, as from the swollen state of the creek, some of the tri b u t a r i e s I shd have to cross would most l i k e l y be impassable. I therefore at once determined to return & endeavour to c o l l e c t a congregation at Blue Gum Flat. 1 turned i n at the Sawmill, to warn a l l the people to attend, & dined with Mr.Scott. Then proceeding to the Fl a t , & warning a l l as I rode along, reached the Church before 3 o'clock, & had a congregation of about 20. I t turned out a beautiful day, but was very warm i n Afternoon.

4. This being a sort of extra day, I availed myself of i t to go down the r i v e r & pay Mrs.Booker a v i s i t . I took McKenzie, & as there was a nice Westerly breeze, we sailed down very comfortably. 1 saw Mr.Moore's mare & f o a l , about which he wrote to me some time back, & after remaining there an hour or two, returned home, c a l l i n g at Gamble's, Rocky George's & Parkes, who l i v e s where Gaskin formerly did. We found i t very hot on the water

5. Very hot again t h i s morning, t i l l about 2 p m when a fine southerly wind came to revive us. About 5 o'clock Anne & 1 rode up to Wyoming to see how Mr. Nunn was getting on, & found him much as usual.

6. Remained at home a l l the morning, c h i e f l y sermon-writing. Towards evening we a l l set off i n the boat to pay Mrs.Mann a v i s i t , but when almost i n sight of the house i t began thundering, & fearing an approaching storm we turned the boat about & made the best of our way back again

This morning, 1 rose, as I often do now on Monday mornings, feeling the effects of my long days work yesterday. 1 went up to the school after breakfast, carrying a headache with me, which Increased as the day advanced, but got better again i n the afternoon, & has now quite l e f t me.

25. which I suppose accounted for my congregations at 167. Gosford & Kincumbar not being so good as they might have been.- A very sudden change came on soon after 2 o'clock, when a southerly gale set i n & before night i t bagan raining. This prevented the people from assembling at Erina.- This morning I had my usual class at E.Gosford. Called on Keene i n the evening.

26. Rain the greater part of the day. McKenzie & Ell e n were to have l e f t us today but owing to the very bad weather they agreed to our proposition to remain t i l l Thursday, i n hopes of a f i n e r day for the Steamer then McKenzie took the boat over, & brought back our new servants, whom Mr.Glue had engaged for us.

28. McKenzie & E l l e n took the i r departure today per Black Swan. In them we have l o s t two very good servants, & I hope th e i r successors w i l l not be far behind them. I called on M r s .

JOURNALS

March 1861.

29. Good Friday, & a very wet day. I rode over to Kincumbar 1. for morning service, and had a congregation of three only, Scaysbrook, Mr.Lane & his boy. There was no service at East Gosford, the r a i n preventing Mr.Battley from going.

30. Went up to the Sawmill today to see Boscombe, who has met with a severe accident, i n the breaking of his thigh. I t happened on Sunday l a s t . He was cutting down a tree,& i t f e l l upon him, I found the poor man, as far as the injury to his body i s concerned apparently doing favourably. & I was very glad to f i n d that he seemed quite a l i v e to the s i n he had committed, which was the cause of the calamity. He said that he received i t as a just judgement upon him for breaking the sabbath. & told me through his tears, that the bodily pain he was suffering, was nothing compared with the burden of his sins which pressed so heavily upon him. I believe the poor man was quite sincere i n a l l his professions, & I humbly hope & pray that the misfortune may prove a re a l blessing to him i n the end. I read to him the beautiful & appropriate passage from Heb;XII & prayed with him, for which he seemed very grateful.-I v i s i t e d a l l the cottages at the m i l l , i n v i t i n g the inmates to attend the service at the Flat tomorrow morning.

31. Easter Day. A very lovely, bright sunny day. I had two excellent congregations about 50 i n the morning at Blue Gum F l a t , & double that number i n the afternoon at East Gosford. A Baptism also at each place. [1] The Miss Nunns attended the morng service, & when we came out of Church, we found Mr.Osborne & Mr.F.Hely outside, & we a l l rode home together.

1. My Easter Holiday today was not a very Joyous one, for 2. I was v i s i t e d with a very bad headache. In the afternoon we took a ramble up the h i l l at the back, & walked about a mile along the range towards Erina. I t was a most beautiful afternoon & i n spite of my rebellious head, the view from the h i l l - t o p was very enjoyable. We saw the smoke of a Steamer i n Broken Bay, having on board, we presume, a goodly party of Sydney excursionists.

2. Went up to the Church t h i s morning, being the day appointed for the election of Church Wardens. As usual, the lack of interest i n Church matters was manifested by the nonattendance of voters. Mr.Battley was the only person who appeared, so having waited t i l l twelve o'clock, we called up Mr.Rudkin, & then we three managed the business. After dinner we had a v i s i t from Mr.&Mrs. Nunn. The former was able to get off his horse & come i n . When they had gone we a l l walked over to Mona Vale, to c a l l on the Harrisons, & then took the Battleys on the way back.

3. This has been one of the most rainy days we have had for a very long time I t rained hard, a l l l a s t night, & I don't think has ceased a moment the whole day,-at times i t poured down i n great torrents. A considerable portion of my time has been spent i n going up a l o f t to t r y & stop leaks, or rather, to put vessels to catch the r a i n where i t came i n , but the number of places have become too many for me, & i f something i s not soon done to repair the roof, the house w i l l soon become uninhabitable. The ce i l i n g s must soon begin to f a l l .

A p r i l 1861.

4. At home a l l the morning, c h i e f l y occupied i n writing, 3. After dinner I rode up to Blue Gum Flat to see Margaret, & instruct her about the f i l l i n g up of her Govemt Vouchers. On the way back I went off my road to see whether the new bridge on the Mangrove road were s t i l l i n existence, & was very glad to find that although the flood had been over the side r a i l s , the bridge was quite secure. I am to l d by the old residents that yesterdays flood was higher than was ever seen here before.

5. Writing a l l the morning, & preparing for my approaching Mangrove journey. After dinner Anne accompanied me up to Miss Donnisons. My intention was to have l e f t her there while I went on to see Mrs.Edmunds, but hearing that she was no worse & that i t was doubtful whether I could reach her house, owing to the destruction of bridges by flood, I did not extend my rid e , but we called at Mr.Wm Nunns,& then, on the way back I looked i n & said Good bye to Emily Battley, who goes to Sydney by Tuesday's Steamer, en route for Melbourne with her Aunt.

6. Started for Mangrove soon after 8 o'clock, & after wading along a watery road, many parts of which resembled a soft over flowing sponge, reached my destination abut 3 PM. Found 5 pupils awaiting for me at the lower school & had about 2 hours catechizing with them. Also made Mr.Molster's acquaintance, & was favourably impressed.

7. Sunday. & an exceedingly hot day. A f a i r congregation assembled at the Lower church i n the morning, where 1 administered both Sacraments. I was glad to see William Crumpton s t i l l able to get as far as the Church, though from extreme weakness & exhaustion, i t was a great exertion for him.

A p r i l 1861.

8. One of the most miserable days I ever spent i n Mangrove. 4 I set out upon my v i s i t i n g s about 8 o'clock with a bad headache, & feeling very unwell. R.Woodbury rowed me down i n his boat to the mouth of the creek, where I v i s i t e d i n succession the families of Wm Crumpton, Jas Byrnes, Mr.Cox, Andrew Byrnes & Thos Crumpton.- A smart shower of rain f e l l about 11 o'clock, but i t held up a l l the rest of the day t i l l night set i n . - Jas Byrnes was not at home, but I learnt from his wife that they have decided upon leaving the Church of England & going back to the Romish Church, from which they have both partly sprung, each of them having one R.Cath: parent.-Mrs.Byrnes could give me no reason for t h i s , & i n fact acknowledged that she was too ignorant to K understand anything about the differences between the two Churches. From a conversation I had with Mr.Cox, I have reason to hope that although he has gone so far as to say that he has turned a R:C: he i s not i r r e t r i e v a b l y gone.- 1 l e f t with him Archbp Seeker's 5 Sermons against Popery, which he promised to read, & I humbly trust & pray that his eyes may be opened to see the truth, & that courage may be given him to "hold fast the form of sound words." i n spite of the persuasions of those about him who seem to be so zealous i n proselyting. I t became very dark, & began raining before I got back to the schoolhouse. I had some d i f f i c u l t y i n feeling my way across Donovans newly ploughed ground & old White's corn f i e l d , but I managed to reach the place i n safety, & immediately the r a i n descended i n torrents. I t was too dark to catch "Nelly." so after tea Mr.Molster rowed me up to Watkins' i n the School boat.

A p r i l 1861.

9. Started early i n the morning up the creek, intending 5. to catechize at the Upper School the Candidates for Confirmation i n that quarter, but on reaching Dorkins' he informed me that the bridges were a l l under water, so that I could not proceed, I therefore retraced my way back to Turnbull's h i l l , & then made the best of my way home, ar r i v i n g i n good time, between 5 & 6.

10. Always allow myself a day's rest after my Mangrove journey. I went to see Mr.Battley after breakfast, Sf thence to C o t t r i l l ' s , to see whether he & Orpin would come & cut firewood for me. He was not at home, but M r s . C o t t r i l l w i l l come & l e t me know.- The day occupied reading & writing.

11. Reading, c h i e f l y a l l the morning. After dinner rode out to see Mrs. Edmunds, & was surprised to find her employed at her household duties. To use her own words she had been "doing a b i t of washing." Read with her the 77th Psalm, with the annexed prayer (Slade) I afterwards called to see Warburton, & Fletcher, & by that time the "shades of evening" were encroaching, & i t was quite dark ere I reached home. On my way out 1 f e l l i n with Mr.Harrison, & accompanied him to his new establishment up the creek.

12. Went up to the Church t h i s morning to see about getting the blinds fixed which Mrs.Mcintosh Is preparing for the windows. But I found the hooks I had made to hang them to would not drive into the walls. & I must get them altered.- I went from the Church to the Steamer, hoping to find my parcel of books from Morpeth, but was disappointed.- Came home to dinner & afterwards wrote a l e t t e r or two for the post.

A p r i l 1861.

13. Being Saturday I did not go out any where, & having 6. appropriate sermons ready for tomorrow, I devoted the day to a l i t t l e carpentering work.- making a drawer for my table, i n which to keep stationery etc. But i t took me t i l l nearly 12 o'clock grinding & shapening my planes & other tools, so that I could not f i n i s h my job.- The l a s t few evenings we have been reading a l i t t l e book,- a brief sketch of the l i f e of S i r Henry Havelock, with which we are much interested.-He presents a noble specimen of a brave soldier & a f a i t h f u l Xtain.

15. A fine Sunday yesterday favoured the assembling of my congregations which were good at a l l three places. This morning I went to the School at East Gosford where 1 met my confirmation class, & afterwards called on Mrs.James Beattie & Mrs.Capper.- Maude came i n the afternoon, as usual. The Miss Nunns also called & spent the afternoon.

16. V i s i t e d the Sawmill today & was glad to find Buscombe doing very we l l with his broken leg. Found a fine room f u l l of children at the Blue Gum Flat School.-called at E:Wamsley's on the way home.

17. To Kincumbar today - called at Green Point, Dr.Auld's, Roberts, Henderson's Mrs.Woodwards, & Dunlop's. A most lovely day, perfectly cloudless sky.

18. After breakfast I went across the water to Mr.Scott's, having learnt from Mrs.Auld yesterday that Miss Scott had been seriously i l l again. I was very glad to find her comparatively well again, but s t i l l looking very delicate. In the afternoon we a l l went up the creek to see Mrs.Mann, & these two l i t t l e water excursions f i l l e d up the day.

A p r i l 1861.

19. Taking advantage of the fine weather we a l l went out 7. today. Our plan of arrangements was for Anne & myself to gou to the the School at Blue Gum Flat leaving the g i r l s at Wyoming by the way; but c a l l i n g Mrs.Hely as we passed, we learnt that Mr.Drew came home l a s t night. We therefore altered our plan, & leaving the g i r l s at Wyoming, rode on to Mr.Drew's where we remained a couple of hours or so, & then returned i n the evening, by which time i t was evident the fine weather had broken up, & r a i n coming on again.

20. My day for service at Torigal.- Some heavy showers f e l l during the day, & especially as evening approached, so that I got very wet i n my feet coming home from Torigal. On c a l l i n g at Mr.Nunns on my way out, was sorry to find him confined to his bed with a hurt he received l a s t evening from a cow, which horned him i n the thigh, & caused a bad wound.

21. Sunday.- A very rainy day, Small attendance i n consequence both at Kincumbar & Gosford. Did not go to Blue Gum F l a t .

22. Met my Confirmation class at the school this morning: & having dismissed them, called on Mrs.Pourie, & then went to Erina to see how Mr.Nunn was getting on. I was glad to find him out of his room, upon the sofa, & progressing favourably. Having dined with them I crossed the h i l l to Kincumbar for the purpose of v i s i t i n g poor Kirk, whose boy informed me on Sunday that he had f a l l e n down & hurt himself. I found however that no very serious damage had occurred.

23. Stormy & Rainy did not go out, except to the post i n the evening. No Steamer came today, but a l e t t e r from Mr.Manning announced his intention of sending her on Friday & Monday next.

A p r i l 1861,

24. This morning about 8 o'clock I received a message from 8. Mr.Scott that his daughter, Amelia, was very dangerously i l l , & begged me to come & see her. I went over d i r e c t l y after breakfast,taking John to row me i n the boat. I found the poor g i r l had been brought apparently to death's door during the night, & her sufferings had been so acute as to deprive her, for a time, of her senses. But she was calm & composed by the time I reached the house, & seemingly free from pain -On speaking with her I was very much g r a t i f i e d at the hopeful frame of mind which she displayed. She seemed quite conscious of her approaching end & expressed her firm trust & hope i n her blessed Saviour. Indeed she has always been a consistent member, & regular Communicant of the Church ever since her Confirmation, so that i t was with r e a l pleasure & sat i s f a c t i o n that I administered to her the Holy Communion, as I believe for the l a s t time, this morning.-I l e f t her, as far as I could judge, quite resigned to the W i l l of her Heavenly Father, expressing a desire rather to depart, than to remain i n this world, but ready to acquiesce i n the determination of the Almighty.

25. This was the day I had appointed for a service at Mooney Creek, but I met Fagan on the road l a s t evening who told me there was no punt by wh: I could cross the creek. In addition to that obstacle, the r a i n , which was very heavy i n the morning, would have stopped my journey had there been a punt. I have been busy sermon-writing the greater part of the day.

26. Went over to the Steamer th i s morning, & found Mrs.Hely on board.with one of her l i t t l e Grand-daughters. Her friends not expecting her i n such bad weather

A p r i l 1861.

26. had made no arrangement for getting her home; so my 9. boat being there her son brought her i n i t to the Parsonage, where she remains for the night. I received at l a s t my parcel of books from England, which I have been so long expecting.

27. This morning I walked with Mrs.Hely to her son's, & after dinner wrote some l e t t e r s , & other indoor work of the kind, the weather being s t i l l gloomy & rainy, I have not been out much this week.

28. Sunday - S t i l l very Rainy - This long protracted wet weather i s so seriously impeding a l l kinds of work among the poor people, that I thought myself called upon to use the prayer for " f a i r weather" this morning i n the Church I only regretted there should be so few to j o i n i n i t , only 6 being present. When I got to the Punt on my way to Kincumbar, the puntman, Isaac, told me that i f I went across I should not be able to get back again, for when the tide turned, as i t would about 3 o'clock, the force of the current wd. be too strong for the punt, & he would have to remove i t from the stream. George Swaddling t o l d me also that I could not reach Erina, on account of the dangerous state of the creek at Mr.Nunns.- I therefore returned home.

29. Another Rainy day - I employed myself i. in-doors, drawing sketch of Kincumbar Church, & preparing for a meeting which I have called there on Wednesday afternoon.

30. The weather being more favourable today, I went out i n the Erina neighbourhood, but found the roads i n a dreadful p l i g h t . I v i s i t e d old Warburton &

A p r i l 1861.

30. Mrs.Edmunds, both of whom I found much i n their usual 10. condition. I t was getting late when I l e f t the l a t t e r , so I did not extend my ride to Fletcher's, but I learnt from his son that he was tolerably well - I called also at Swadlings, Miss Donnisons' & Mr.Nunn's.

May 1861.

1. After paying a round of Shoemaker c a l l s t h i s morning. (Putland, Kemp, & Beattie) I went over the h i l l to Kincumbar, to attend the meeting I had called about the Church. I t turned out a customary sample of what Church Meetings too frequently are among us. Two persons only attended, Benjn.Davis & Scaysbrook.-Davls promised to make out an estimate of the cost at which he Is disposed to undertake the repairs of the Church: & as none of the people came to assist me i n the work, I s h a l l consider myself j u s t i f i e d i n taking their silence & absence as a token of their willingness to confide the management of the a f f a i r to my discretion, & s h a l l act accordingly.

2. Spent a very pleasant day with the Drews. Weather beautiful. We walked to Campbells wharf, where the boat was waiting for us.

3. A broken sort of a day. Having learnt yesterday that owning to the state of the raads, & destruction of bridges, there would.be no possiablity of my reaching Yarramalong on Sunday, I had to make other arrangements. I met Taaffe also i n the town, who to l d me the waters were very

May 1861 .

3. deep i n the lakes, & that I should have d i f f i c u l t y i n 11. tr a v e l l i n g to his abode. I therefore decided to give up the journey altogether t h i s time. & remain at home on Sunday, having morning service at E.Gosford & afternoon at Blue Gum Fl a t . Reading & writing part of the day. Mr.Drew called i n the afternoon on his way to the Post.

4. Emily & I took a ride up to Blue Gum Flat this morning, to l e t the people know about tomorrow's service. I t was a d e l i g h t f u l morning - perfectly clear sky with bracing westerly breeze & we enjoyed the ride exceedingly - Home again soon after one. After dinner 1 went across to see Miss Scott, & was astonished to f i n d her so wonderfully recovered. She told me she has not f e l t so well for two years. Mr.& Mrs.Mann called i n the afternoon while I was out. They are going to leave us next week.

5. Sunday - Delightful day. Tom & John Battley accompanied me to Blue Gum Flat i n the afternoon, where I found a very good congregation. After the service I had to bury a l i t t l e infant c h i l d of Wm.Robertson at Wyoming, f j j which died on Saturday morning, not 2 days old. On my way home I went to see the mother, who was very i l l .

6. Went up to see Mrs.Robertson again this morning, & found her better. Anne accompanied me to Wyoming to see Mrs.Nunn, who i s suffering from a hurt she received i n her knee about a week ago, by f a l l i n g as she was entering the house from the verandah.-After dinner we a l l went to c a l l at Mona Vale, where Influenza has l a t e l y shown i t s e l f again - Alice Mann came this morng & remains the night.

7. Another gap has been made i n our limited society here 12. today by the departure of Mr.Mann's family. We a l l accompanied them i n our boat as far as Point Frederick, where we bid them adieu; & having waited t i l l the Steamer re-passed, & our boat came back from the wharf, we re-embarked, & came home again. The Miss Nunns called i n the afternoon.

8. Started for Kincumbar this morning, intending to go to Davis', but met Wilson, of Torigal on the road who t o l d me his wife was dangerously i l l , & wished to see me. After c a l l i n g at the School, therefore, & there writing a note to Ben:Davis about the shingling ofthe Church, I struck across to Torigal by Kerns'. Found Mrs.Wilson very seriously i l l & promised to v i s i t her again on Friday. Returned v i a Chennel's & Wm. & AbrSwadling's, but no one at home.

9. Had a f r u i t l e s s journey to Wyong & back today. The object of my ride was to marry Woolley, having written [1] to t e l l him I would be at Wyong by j p 10 o'c: for that purpose. I waited for him t i l l 12 o'c: & then rode to his house to learn the cause of his non-appearance, when I found that they had written i n answer to my l e t t e r , begging me not to come. But I have not received their l e t t e r . Woolley himself way away, but his Intended wife said they wished me to publish the Banns again, (for the 3 months are now expired). But I s h a l l pause before doing so, unless they consent to come down to the Church to be married.

10. Went to Torigal today to see Mrs.Wilson, whom I found s t i l l very poorly though apparently better than she was on Wednesday; I made several other c a l l s i n that quarter, as well as i n the way out & back again. Some l i g h t showers of r a i n f e l l while I was there accompanied with Thunder.

11. At home a l l the morning, preparing for tomorrow's services. After dinner we a l l went over to Point Clare to see how Miss Scott was progressing, & were glad to find her wonderfully better: but Mr.Scott who returned from Sydney yesterday brought sad tidings of his daughter Jane, who seemed to be at death's door when he l e f t .

12. Unfortunately i t began raining just about the time of going to Morning service so that my congregation at Gosford was not much over 20. The r a i n continued a l l day I went to Kincumbar, where I had only 6. & did not go to Erina.

13. Went to see Mrs.Wilson again. She seemd rather worse than she was on Friday. Called on Mrs.Benson i n the morning on my way out.

14. Beautiful day again. Intended to have gone to the Sawmill, but had to remain at home for a funeral.-two l i t t l e infants, twins, of James Fletcher, born on Sunday, but l i v e d only about 2 hours.- Called at Coulters on my way to the B u r i a l Ground. - Mrs. Drew called i n the afternoon.

15. To Torigal again today via, Kincumbar, & had a disagreeable r i d e , for heavy r a i n came on again i n the afternoon. Mrs.Wilson s t i l l growing weaker, & seems to have given up a l l hope of recovery, tho' I fear her work of preparation for the awful change i s sadly i n arrear; & she feels & laments i t herself.

24. Marianne & I took a ride up to Blue Gum Flat this morning 15. by way of celebrating the Queens Birthday. The weather was d e l i g h t f u l & the ride a great treat to Marianne -Busy writing i n the afternoon.

25. I rode out to Torigal t h i s morning, & paid, as I believe my l a s t v i s i t to Mrs.Wilson. She seemed almost unconscious, & I doubt whether she knew me. I f u l l y expect to hear of her death tomorrw.

26. A beautiful Sunday, therefore good attendance at a l l three places.

27. Busy a l l day with a very bad headache, which prevented my attending to anything else, except writing a l e t t e r or two before i t came to i t s height.

28. Spent the day at Wyoming. Kate returned with us i n the evening.

29. Went to Kincumbar t h i s morning, & found the men getting on fast with the shingling of the Church, having nearly completed one side. From thence I went to Torigal & was surprised to f i n d Mrs.Wilson s t i l l a l i v e - Called on Miss Donnison on my way back, to advise her not to attempt the Punt road tomorrow morning, as i t i s far from safe.

30. Remained at home today, to receive the Miss Donnisons, who were compelled to come & attend the Court, to give evidence i n a case of disputed road, i n the afternoon Mrs.Hely, Mrs.Drew, & Mrs.H:Hely called -Busy when not otherwise interrupted, preparing to star t for Mangrove Creek tomorrow morning, as well as writing a l e t t e r or two.- We are now enjoying perfect Australian weather, clear sky with wind from the Westward, & I hope i t w i l l continue during my absence at Mangrove.

June 1861

8. Started for Mangrove Creek on Friday the 31 ult? & had 16 a beautiful clear day for my r i d e , reached Watkins' i n good time, & found them & a l l about them much as usual. On Saturday the 1® I walked up Iron Bark Creek, & down as far as Singleton's, & then home by Woodbury's (Rlchd) etc:-On Sunday had a small congregation of 21 at the Upper Church, & about 50 at the Lower.- Monday I spent at the Upper part of the Creek, v i s i t i n g a l l as far as Gould's.- Tuesday I went down to the mouth of the creek Mr.R:Woodbury taking me i n his boat.- Mr Cox was away i n Sydney, but I called on a l l the others. On Wednesday, after v i s i t i n g Atkins, Shakeshaft (who has returned to l i v e i n the creek) & Watkins Sen. 1 mounted "Nelly" & made the best of my way home again. The weather changed on the Tuesday, when some l i g h t showers f e l l & I had a l i t t l e r a i n on the road as I approached home.- I saw more of Mr Molster t h i s time, & am much pleased with him; The people also seem well s a t i s f i e d with their new Teacher. One great improvement I found at Mangrove was a new road made since I was l a s t there, up "Turnbull's H i l l " . On reaching home I found Mr Townshend here, having arrived on Monday l a s t . Thursday I made a day of rest after my Mangrove journey. In the evening, just as we were s i t t i n g down to tea, a message came from the Bench, requesting my attendance to t e s t i f y to the character of Mr Worley, the Chief Constable. He was charged by Mr Hargraves with neglect of duty, & among others, ca l l e d upon me for a character. Yesterday I had to go over to Kincumbar to bury poor Mrs Wilson, who at l a s t departed on [1] Wednesday. Townshend went up to Sydney per Black Swan, leaving his horses here t i l l his return the week after next.- Mr Nunn called this morning, & remained to dinner with us.

10. This morning I made a few c a l l s i n the township - 17. Keen, Barron, Worley, White & Mrs.Creighton. I also found Taaffe very i l l at Gorman's. He was so bad yesterday that they had to send to Dr.Auld, but he was much better t h i s morning, from the effects of medicine, sent him yesterday: I also went to c a l l on Austin the Shoemaker, who has been i l l for about 10 days.- He has shifted his quarters, having removed from Stockdales house i n the hollow, to Moore's on the h i l l . - This afternoon we a l l went across to Point C l a i r , where we found Miss Scott s t i l l keeping w e l l , & heard very favourable accounts from the others i n Sydney.

11. Remained at home today, to receive Mrs. & Miss Nunn, who spent the day with us.

12. This morning I went to c a l l on the Drews & Helys. Returned to dinner, after which we walked as far as Mona Vale, Mr.Battley's, & Coulter's.

13. At home th i s morning - Mr.Nunn called - & afterwards Taaffe came to see me, before setting out homeward, for which he thinks himself strong enough, but I do not. After dinner Emily accompanied me i n a ride to Blue Gum F l a t .

14. Went to Davis Town today for the purpose of s e t t l i n g with B:Davis for the shingling of Kincumbar Church, but he was not at home. Called on a l l the rest.

19. To Kincumbar today, v i s i t e d Godwin, Bentley, Moir, Bushby & Mullard.

20. Spent t h i s day at Erina, going up th i s side the creek, & c a l l i n g on Mr.Coulston. V i s i t e d Mrs.Edmonds, who I found had changed her residence, having moved into th e i r new hut by Warburtons. She seemed very poorly indeed, weaker I think than when I l a s t saw her.-V i s i t e d a l l i n that neighbourhood as far as Barber's. & then returned by the same road, (Wm.Muddle came & k i l l e d our 2 pigs today)

21. Went over to East Gosford i n the morning to meet Townshend, who came per Steamer. Among other things he brought my new dray down with him - a good second hand a r t i c l e , for which he paid £6.10 & £1 freig h t . - Mr & Mrs Battley came & spent the evening with us. I had asked Mr.B to come, for the purpose of giving me the benefit of his counsel aided by Townshend, on the subject of the character which I gave to John Taaffe, & which seems to have s t i r r e d up the anger of Mr.Hargraves most b i t t e r l y against me. We had a long conference on the matter, the result of which was that i n their opinion I have nothing to retr a c t , but was warranted i n giving the character that I did.

22. At home a l l today, preapring for tomorrows services etc. Mr.Battley called again & dined with us.

23. Sunday. Administered the Holy Communion to 34 at East Gosford. Townshend went with me to Kincumbar & Erina.- Baptized an infant at each place. In consequence [1] of the bad state of the punt road, we came home the other way by Mr.Harrison's.

24. Townshend not being very w e l l , we did not start upon 19 our journey to Maitlandaswe had Intended, but put i t off t i l l tomorrow. Mr J : Osborne cal l e d i n the morning. After dinner Townshend & I went & called at Mona Vale.

25. Started about 7 A M. & had a nice day for t r a v e l l i n g . A few f l y i n g showers passed over from the west, but we escaped between them. Overtook Mr Nunn a l i t t l e t h i s side of Wyong Creek, & we a l l Journeyed together as far as Currumbong, where he l e f t us, & we pursued our journey l e i s u r e l y to Mount Vincent where we arrived about sunset. We were grieved to f i n d young Mr Child had been very i l l , but was then recovering. Yesterday he was attacked by a f i t , being the f i f t h attack of the kind within the l a s t few months. The medical men pronounce his heart affected, & incurable, which keeps them i n a constant state of painful apprehension.

26. Leaving Mount Vincent after breakfast, Townshend & I jogged l e i s u r e l y on to Maitland where we arrived about two o'clock, & there parted. I rode on to Morpeth, & put up at the Bishop's. I spent a very agreeable, & I hope profitable, evening with his lordship, detailing a l l my grievances, & receiving from him much good counsel & advice.

27. After making a few purchases at the Book Depot, & lunching at Mr Walsh's I set out about 12 o'clock on my homeward route, leading my new horse, wh: Townshend bought for me i n Sydney.- certainly not very much pre-possessed i n favour of the animal. But we must t r y him before condemning him. On the way I called i n to see the future abode of the Nunns, & was not very favourably Impressed with i t . - Reached Mount Vincent about sunset.

June 1861.

28. Left Mount Vincent about 7 AM, & did not get home 20. t i l l near 8 PM. having stopped for about half an hour at Reedy Flat by the way. 1 rode the new horse part of the way, but fear he w i l l not prove a f i r s t rate hack.

29. Went to Chittaway today, to v i s i t W:Wamsley - Frazer, & Williams, etc.

30. Sunday - Morning service at Blue Gum Flat where I baptized two infants, & administered the Holy Communion to 3 only.

July 1861.

1. This morning I cal l e d on Mr.Battley, & then went to Coulter's, & Austin. The l a t t e r s t i l l too unwell to resume his work.- This afternoon we a l l walked up to c a l l on Mrs.Hov:Hely: looking i n , by the way on Mr.& Mrs.Wheeler, who are spending their holidays here.

2. At home a l l the morning. In the afternoon we a l l went across to Point Clare, where we found Miss Scott & Jane convalescent. John Battley came, i n the morning to pay a farewell v i s i t , prior to his taking his departure per Steamer. Through Mr.Townshend, he has obtained an advantageous offer from MrJlolleston, to go to his Station i n the neighbourhood of Rockhampton.

3. This morning 1 rode up to Erina, to t e l l Miss Donnison that we cannot keep our appointment tomorrow, as I have received a subpoena to attend at the Court tomorrow, to give evidence i n a case of E:J.Hargraves v: Taaffe. I am at a loss to conceive the object for which I am summoned i n this case, except i t be purposely to annoy me. I call e d on Mrs.Wm.Nunn also Mrs.Hely & Mrs.Drew came & spent this day with us.

July 1861,

4. On attending the court today i n answer to my subpoena, 21, 1 found that the object of Mr.Hargraves was to examine me on the character given by me to John Taaffe. The Magistrates, however, would not permit such a proceeding, as being irrelevant to the case before them, & after a few questions had been put, my further attendance was dispensed with, & I was allowed to leave the Court.though Mr.Hargraves was desirous of detaining me. This a f f a i r has been a source of much aanoyance to me, but I thank God 1 have nothing to reproach myself with. In giving to Taaffe the negative character which I did, 1 was only actuated by a desire to act impartially, & not withhold from one parishioner what I was w i l l i n g to grant to another. Mr.Drew accompanied me back to the Parsonage, & dined with us. Mr.Lee also came i n shortly after Mr.Drew's departure, & took some lunch. What l i t t l e portion of the day remained, I spent i n the vineyard.

5. We a l l went to Erina today to spend the day with the Donnisons, Mr.Nunn called i n the morning, & detained us some time, wishing some conversation with me r e l a t i v e to something which he thought I stated i n Court yesterday, but he evidently misunderstood me, & put a wrong interpretation on my words.- We went up to Mr.Harrisons new establishment at his side Erina Creek, & leaving our horses there crossed over i n his boat, which shortened the distance considerably.

6. I had intended r i d i n g out to see Mrs.Edmunds & others today, before leaving home again but a disagreeable head ache come on after breakfast & rendered me un f i t for anything I have now got everything ready for an early s t a r t tomorrow morning for Wyong & Yarramalong, & expect to be absent t i l l Wednesday or Thursday.

July 1861.

Saturday night, & a whole week's proceedings to record. Started about 7 A:M: on Sunday morning for Wyong, where I arrived i n good time, but had a very poor congregation. The road up from thence to Yarramalong was dreadful. Only 13 attended there. I found the C l i f f o r d family had l e f t , & gone to the Wollomby. Another family however. Bridge, have come to l i v e there. Mrs.Tobin.had provided a comfortable bed for me, & otherwise attended to a l l my wants. A very sharp frost at night covered the face of the earth with a nice white mantle of frost on Monday morning.-After getting my breakfast I called on Mrs.Kenny, & then rode up as far as Boyd's but did not go on to Watters, thinking i t best to show my deep sense of their misconduct, with regard to the marriage of their daughter by avoiding them altogether.- I reached Mr.Lee's at Reedy Flat i n the evening, c a l l i n g at Durrington's & Turner's by the way, & there I made the acquaintance of the Revd.A:Douglass, who i s on a v i s i t to his s i s t e r . On Tuesday morning I reached Taaffe-*'S Currumbong by about f p 10, & soon after Mr.F.Hely arrived, & Sidebottom came with one of his boys. They, with John Osborne & his establishment formed my congregation. Leaving that about one o'clock, I set out for Lake Macquarie, & found Taaffe waiting for me at Wyee to Show me the way to his house. Moses Gorman soon overtook us, & went on to Taaffe's.-1 found Mrs.Taaffe had provided every thing very comfortably for my reception. On Wednesday morning had service, abut 16 or 17 present, & about one o'clock set out on my return to Reedy Flat accompanied by Taaffe & Mos:Gorman,- We had some r a i n on the road which wet the bushes on part of the road where we had to ride through

July 1861.

13. the bush, so that 1 arrived with wet feet at Mr.Lee's. 23. Thursday morning started after breakfast, & called at Gllchison's & Mrs.Goldie's on the way home arrived at dusk, finding a l l w e l l , & feeling very thankful to be safe at home again. Among the l e t t e r s that came by Tuesday's mail was one from Rolleston speaking very favourably of John Battley, & I took i t over to show Mr.Battley yesterday morning.- Remained at home yesterday writing l e t t e r s etc. etc. This morning 1 rode over to East Gosford to make a few c a l l s , begining with Mr.Lloyd, & going through a l l i n that neighbourhood, f i n i s h i n g with Mr.Kemp. Wherever I goi I meet with strong sympathetic expressions from a l l the folks respecting the treatment I am receiving from Mr.Hargraves. I t i s a comfort to f i n d that but one opinion prevails among the people, & that e n t i r e l y i n my favour. I sincerely hope & pray that the mans eyes may be opened ere long to see his f o l l y , & grace given him to repent of i t .

15. Services as usual yesterday.- large congregation at Erina. I took my new horse, "Comet" to Kincumbar, to introduce him, & i n i t i a t e him into his Sunday duties, which he performed very w e l l . The punt road, i s again undergoing repair, & I think they are doing i t e f f e c t u a l l y , i I have been out to Erina today, to v i s i t the sick people there. I found Mrs.Edmunds & Fletcher worse.-Old Warburton much as usual, Mrs.Wm.Crane better.

16. On returning home l a s t night I found a note from Anthony Underwood, begging me to come to his house & baptize a young Infant, fearing i t would not l i v e [1] so ordering breakfast e a r l i e r this morning, I went to the house the f i r s t thing, & was glad to find the c h i l d better, but as

16. i t seemed delicate, & they were anxious about i t , I 24. administered private baptism & they promise to bring i t to Church the e a r l i e s t opportunity for public reception into the congregation. I found poor Mrs.Rimmer their neighbour, very i l l indeed apparently i n a dying condition, & remained some time with her endeavouring to awaken her to a sense of her past s i n f u l l i f e , & lead her to the Saviour of sinners, as the only refuge for her. I fear my words f e l l upon very stoney ground, & produced l i t t l e or no ef f e c t . - I read the 51st Psalm, & finished with a prayer from the same, & then returned home c a l l i n g upon Mrs.Drew & then on Mrs.Nunn. In the afternoon by way of a l i t t l e recreation we took a ramble up the mountain i n front of C o t t r i l l ' s . This evening's post brought us a l e t t e r from Devonshire (from Kate) conveying the melancholy tidings of the death of her brother William, at Calcutta. A sad & grevious blow to them a l l . But he was a good youth, & that r e f l e c t i o n must greatly mitigate the sorrows of those who are called to mourn the loss of dear r e l a t i v e s .

17. Went to see Mrs.Rimmer again this morning & found her evidently sinking rapidly to the grave.- She expressed a hope that God would be merciful to her, & forgive her a l l her sins: but I fear she had l i t t l e sense of what i s required to give us a good hope of pardon ~ I again attempted to awaken her to a sense of her true condition by reminding her of her baptismal engagement, & asking her to consider how far she had endeavoured to f u l f i l those conditions upon which alone pardon i s offered to us. She seemed incapable from exhaustion, & her extreme ignorance to appreciate my words, & 1 f e l t I could do no more than offer up a few prayers, concluding with that from the v i s i t a t i o n o f f i c e "when there appeareth small hope of recovery" & then l e f t her to God's mercy. I went from thence up to the Sawmill, & v i s i t e d a l l the people there.

July 1861

18. This morning Mr .Worley cal l e d early & acquainted me 25. with Mrs.Rimmer's death which i t seems must have taken place shortly after I l e f t her yesterday morning. I remained at home t i l l dinner time, expecting to be called up respecting the funeral, but no one came, so after dinner I mounted my horse & rode over to Kincumbar school.& from thence to Scaysbrook's.- On my return home I found that Mr.William Nunn & Mr.Osborne had c a l l e d , wishing to see me about this Taaffe a f f a i r .

19. Rimmer called t h i s morning & arranged for the funeral [U of his wife at three o'clock this afternoon, therefore 1 remained at home for that purpose. Just as I was starting for the B u r i a l Ground at the appointed hour, l i t t l e Edward Holland came galloping along the road, & as he passed me coming up the h i l l , was thrown v i o l e n t l y to the ground,falling upon his head. He was quite stunned for the time, but on l i f t i n g him up 1 found there was no serious damage done, only a cut i n the fore part of the head.- 1 brought him i n , & leaving him to Anne's care, went on to the funeral.- No Steamer today - too much sea outside.

20. Service at Torigal today - but a small congregation -It seems I made a great mistake i n not going l a s t Saturday, which was the appointed day - I suppose my having been away so much during the l a s t month made me forget a week.

21. Sunday. Small attendance at Kincumbar, 99 at Gosford i n the afternoon where I baptized two infants, Foster of Wyoming & Cockcroft.- Only 14 attended at Blue Gum F l a t .

22. Headache today - After breakfast rode over to v i s i t the Rimmer family & returned to dinner. We a l l expected the Steamer today, being very f i n e , but were disappointed again.

July 1861.

On Tuesday (23rd) I started for Mooney creek & Hawkesbury according to appointment. The weather was very d u l l & threatening,presenting anything but a cheering aspect. On a r r i v i n g at Mooney Creek I found no congregation at least only Sutton, with Roe & his wife. I t seems that Wells does not associate with them, so they would not meet together.- I had service, notwithstanding, at Roe's though my congregation was only _3. & afterwards I pursued my way l e i s u r e l y to Foley's at Peates Ferry on the Hawkesbury. The r a i n began about the middle of the day, & f e l l gently a l l the afternoon which made the ride exceedingly disagreeable, as the road for the most part was overgrown with bushes, so that I arrived at my destination with very cold & wet feet. With the aid of a l i t t l e warm water, however, & afterwards a cheerful f i r e blazing on the hearth, I soon found myself very comfortable. Mrs.Foley had provided everything for my comfort, & they a l l seemed glad to see me.- I spent the evening conversing with, & instructing the two elder boys on the subject of confirmation. The r a i n continued steadily a l l night & by the morning had evidently settled down into a determined f a l l of some days continuance. Mrs.Foley said a great many had promised to assemble & no doubt I shd have had a good congregation had the weather permitted. As i t was, no one came, so after breakfast I read a chapter with the family (Epb:VI) giving them a l i t t l e f a m i l i a r lecture thereon, & about eleven o'clock, or perhaps a l i t t l e e a r l i e r mounted Nelly & bid them adieu. I have had some rough & disagreeable journeyings during my sojourn at Brisbane Water, but I think that yesterday's ride surpassed them a l l

July 1861.

25. Upon an open road, one can get along well enough i n 27. spite of the rai n but when one has to brush his way through a shrubbery of wet bushes & receive from each i n passing the whole contents of load of water, i n addition to what f a l l s upon him from the clouds, i t becomes intolerably disagreeable. I was between 6 & 7 hours r i d i n g 21 miles, & never did I enjoy the comfort of home more than when I found myself seated by the f i r e l a s t evening after disencumbering myself of my wet clothes. The rai n continued very hard a l l l a s t night, & the whole of th i s day, & seems to have no intention of abating yet, so we may reckon upon another flood.- I have spent this day c h i e f l y sermon writing for Sunday.

30. On Friday the r a i n continued, with the addition of some thunder, so I did not go out any where. Saturday showery. In the afternoon I went up to the School to see how the Rudklns were, as their children had been a l l i l l . - found them recovering again. Called at Mr.Putlands also, & at C o t t r i l l ' s - M r . C o t t r i l l was complaining - ague she thinks - but I hope not.-C o t t r i l l also seemed unwell, & today has gone up to Sydney, enroute for Newcastle, to consult Dr.Bowker.-Sunday was a very disagreeable, wet day - only 10 came to Gosford & 8 to Kincumbar.- Did not go to Erina:- yesterday I went to Erina to v i s i t the sick folks i n that quarter. Found them a l l much as usual. This morning I went to Blue Gum Flat to see the young man Gregory, having received a l e t t e r from his father touching his consent to his marriage. Came home to dinner, & spent the afternoon unpacking box of books from Morpeth & l e t t e r w r i t i n g .

August 1861.

1. At home today, preparing for my Mangrove journey, upon which I star t tomorrow, yesterday I went to Kincumbar, & after delivering up the Mail to Mr.Lane, went on to Taylor's c a l l i n g at Reynolds & Ward's by the way. On the way back called on Wilkinson, this side Kincumbar H i l l & got them to promise to send there children to the Sunday School.

But I was so i l l myself that I could scarcely speak to him. A dreadful b i l i o u s headache.- Called on Mr.Cox on my way back & ascertained from him that he had r e a l l y joined himself to the R.Catholic Church.

6. Married another couple t h i s morning (White & Woodbury). In the afternoon rode to the Upper Chruch, where I had appointed to meet the candidates for confirmation, but i t turned out a wet afternoon, which I suppose was the cause of their non-appearance.

Fletcher I also found weaker & thinner, evidently declining & wasting away.- Swadling i s getting mentally worse, & at times shows such symptoms of violence that I think the sooner they get him into the Lunatic Asylum the better. I called on Mrs.Seaman on the way out, also on Mrs.Nunn & the Misses Donnison.

14. Marianne & I have had a l i t t l e excursion today as far as McMasters. I t was a beautiful morning, but a suspicious looking bank of clouds to the SE made me think i t prudent to take a second coat for Marianne, which we found the benefit of on our return, for the r a i n began before we started from thence & we had some heavy r a i n before we got home.

I ca l l e d them a l l into the adjoining room when Mr.Rudkin stated i n what par t i c u l a r they had misbehaved.- I found however that Mrs.Rudkin had previously told the boys that upon their promise of amendment. I should not be made acquainted with the matter.- I therefore t o l d them that i f they would renew the same promise to me, I would say no nore about i t : to which James Worley at once replied "I s h a l l not promise anything of the kind", or something to that effect.- I t o l d him that I should at once scratch his name off the l i s t of candidates for confirmation - & after the others had returned to the school spoke to him privately, endeavouring to bring him to a better s p i r i t . He accused Mr.Rudkin of making use of an expression which I am quite sure he never could from his l i p s to utter.- I sent him away from the school, t e l l i n g him I would see his father about him.- eiass-at-home-in-afterntson.

28. Went to Worley's the f i r s t thing after breakfast, to speak to him about his boy James.& his conduct before me, i n the presence of his father & mother, was even worse than i t was yesterday morning. He showed a most stubborn, determined, s p i r i t of w i l f u l disobedience, which quite grieved me, & shocked his father also. When asked by his father i f he did not think his conduct towards Mr.Rudkin had been very wrong, he re p l i e d , "I'd do i t again," & when I reminded him that Mr.Rudkin had expressed his readiness to declare upon oath that he had not made use of the expression which he said he had, he iiranediately replied "Then he's i s l i a r " , upon which his father pushed him out of the room.- As Mr.Worley expressed a wish that the matter should not be carried any further, I consented, out of deference to his feelings & wishes, not to press it.-though I think that he i s not acting wisely i n allowing his boy to gain t h i s sort of triumph, as 1 may c a l l i t . - Went down to Davis Town today, c a l l i n g at Dr.Auld's by the way.

29. Went to Kincumbar th i s morning to marry a couple, Jackson. [T] & Mary Ann Hughes. From thence I returned to Erina, dined at Mr.Nunns & then v i s i t e d Mrs.Edmunds & Fletcher, both very bad - getting much weaker.

September 1861.

1. had my usual morning service at Yarramalong - only 14 32. attended - but there are not many more who could have come. Mr.Bridge was among the number present, & after the service he kindly invited me to his house the next time, I go there, offering me accomodation for the night, an offer which I gladly accepted, for although the Tobins were always very kind & attentive i n ministering to my necessities, I did not f e e l s a t i s f i e d i n continuing

1. to trespass upon their kindness. I had a better attendance at Wyong this time, 18. - Mr.Lee & Mr.Murphy being among the number.- I accompanied them home to Reedy Flat & lodged the night there.

2. Started after breakfast for Taaffe's, having learnt from the Lees that I was not expected at Currumbong.-I found also that Taaffe did not expect me, but they welcomed my a r r i v a l , & courteously entertained me for the night. Here again I found changes: Thos.Boyd & family having l e f t & joined the Freemans at thei r new place of residence. Taaffe's family being the only one there now he thought i t hardly worth my while coming p e r i o d i c a l l y to his house, & I agreed that I would pay him an occasional v i s i t for the future.

3. Left Taaffe's after breakfast, having f i r s t read a chapter (Eph:VI) & given them a l i t t l e lecture thereupon. On reaching Mr.Lee's, I found a l l the Nunns there, on the i r way to Currumbong. After partaking of some luncheon, & giving "Comet" an hour's r e s t , he brought me home i n very good style by about 7 o'clock.

4. At home today, as I generally give myself a day's rest after my travels.

5. At Erina today - ca l l e d at Mrs.Swadlings, thence to Brown, Jackson, B a r t l e t t , Gates, Lewis, Barber, Fletcher & Mrs.Edmunds.- I found poor Fletcher very low indeed.

September 1861.

5. evidently drawing very near his end.- Speaking to him 33. seemed irksome & tiresome to him. He did not appear w i l l i n g that I should speak, & when 1 proposed reading he said he could not hear me i f I did.- I thought i t better to leave him.- Mrs.Edmunds s t i l l weaker.-but thankful to see me.- I called also at Ab:Swadlings, Henry's & Wrights.

» 6. At home a l l the morning, to Erina after dinner for Confirmation class.

7. At home preparing for tomorrow's service, t i l l towards evening when I walked as far as Coulter's to beg them l e t John come to the class on Monday morning. & at Mr.Battleys also on the same errand for William.

8. Sunday - Good attendance at Gosford & Kincumbar,-but poor old Fletcher, having died during the day, 1 suppose was the cause of my having a small congregation at Erina.

9. Went to the School i n the morning to my Confirmation class.which was but a small one, only 5. - several did not attend, & some have l e f t the d i s t r i c t since we l a s t assembled.- Called on Mrs.Spears Mrs.Seaman, & Kemp, also,Battley, Harrison & C o t t r i l l . When I returned to the house, I found Mr.& Mrs Lee here.-the l a t t e r goes to Sydney per Steamer tomorrow.-Mr.Lee returned home i n the afternoon - Anne, Marianne & I went & called at Mona Vale i n the evening & at Mr.Battleys also.

10. The most important part of today's work was the funeral of poor old Fletcher. Great numbers followed him to thegrave, being one of the oldest residents i n the d i s t r i c t . - Anne & the g i r l s accompanied Mrs.Lee i n the boat to the Steamer. Mrs.Hely & Mrs.Drew called also i n the morning, the former went to Sydney, & Mrs.Drew returned i n the boat with our party, & dined with us.- No mail tonight.-

12. We have spent a very pleasant day at Green Point - a picnic party of Mr.Wm.Nunn's.- The Miss Donnisons were also of the party, & the day was very favourable - with the exception of a l i t t l e breeze as we crossed the water i n the morng.

I had Mr. Hunt Senr i n the congregation; the f i r s t time I have ever seen him i n Church.

15. Sunday. Baptized Mrs.Crause's baby this afternoon. [2] After which I had an unnecessary ride to Blue Gum F l a t , for I found no congregation there.- I t threatened r a i n , so they fancied I would not come.

17. Went to Peat's today by appointment.- I walked to Mooney 35 Creek, & from thence down the creek by boat.- Calverts two g i r l s came to meet me, & took me down as far as there house (5 miles) where I found Mr Peat & Archie Foley waiting for me.- The day was very fine

18. Had a congregation of 26 th i s morning, & they a l l seemed glad of the opportunity of attending Divine Service. I fixed upon Wednesday the ll^'^ December for my next v i s i t . After taking some lunch I set out on my homeward journey. Foley & his boy William brought me a l l the way up the creek (10 miles), & then strapping on my valise knapsack fashion walked back again.

19. Went to Torigal today according to appointment, to catechise candidates for Confirmation, expecting about 6. but only had 3.

20. Anne accompanied me to Erina t h i s morning, & leaving her at Mr Nunn's I went on to v i s i t poor Mrs Edmunds. I found her much lower than l a s t week, & seemingly drawing near her end. 1 afterwards saw Warburton, & then called on Mrs Fletcher.-Only three g i r l s at my class i n the afternoon.

21. At home a l l the morning sermon writing. In the afternoon I rode out to see Mrs Edmunds again - thought her much altered i n appearance since yesterday, & at most think I s h a l l not see her al i v e again.

23. Yesterday being such a very beautiful day I was prepared to expect good congregations at a l l the places, but was disappointed & grieved to f i n d so many absentees. This morning I had a good class of Confirm Candidates at the School, among them

September 1861.

23. a new pupil i n Edward Scott. This afternoon 1 again 36. rode out to see Mrs.Edmunds whom I found s t i l l a l i v e but l i t t l e more than that, & I hardly think she can survive another 24 hours.

24. I t was my intention to have gone to Chittaway & the Sawmill today, but being very rainy a l l the forenoon I remained at home & spent the day c h i e f l y i n sermon writing.

25. Spent this day at Kincumbar.- Called f i r s t at Ward's to ascertain whether any of the young people had any desire or intention of being confirmed this time, & I was glad to f i n d Sophy, Agnes, & Ephraim, preparing to attend the class at the Church. 1 then passsd on to Bentley's, & from that returned to the church where I had a very good class of eleven.

26. Went to Chittaway & the Sawmill today, c a l l i n g at the School, & Edwd Wamsley etc etc. by the way.

27. At home t i l l after dinner, when Emily rode with me to Erina, where I met my confirmation class for the l a s t time & gave them their t i c k e t s , though not without a feeling of regret that they are not better prepared for notwithstanding a l l my efforts to instruct them, they displayed t h i s afternoon ii sad proofs of deplorable ignorance & I question whether they w i l l ever be better instructed. The desire for instruction does not seem to exist.

28. This morning I rode out to see Mrs.Edmunds once more, whom I found s t i l l a l i v e but scarcely able to speak.-She could make me understand her wish that I would pray for her, which i s a l l that I could do, & for the f i r s t time, during the long period through which I have been v i s i t i n g her. I was joined by the whole

September 1861.

28. family, her husband kneeling with me at her bedside, & 37 both her daughters & Son also present.- She was quite sensible, & I trust w i l l keep her f a i t h stedfast unto the end. This afternoon I have paid some very different v i s i t s , i . e : I have been conversing with very different characters. The scene was shifted from the cottage of a dying believer to that of a l i v i n g I n f i d e l , i n the person of W™ Creighton, (& his brother Robert). I wished to pre v a i l upon them to bring their infants to baptism but they decline doing so, -William i n particular did not hesitate to avow his dis b e l i e f of the Bible, & consequently the i n u t i l i t y of Baptism. He finished a conversation of some length by declaring his opinion that "the Bible i s the worst book that was ever written" upon which 1 l e f t him, saying that I hoped, & would pray that before he quitted t h i s world, i t would please God to open his eyes to the truth, & that he might yet exclaim that "the Bible i s the very best book that the world ever saw."

29. Sunday - Had a very good congregation i n the morning at Blue Gum Flat where I baptized two infants, but had no Communion, [1] for lack of a s u f f i c i e n t number.- Very f a i r attendance also at East Gosford, i n the afternoon, where for the special benefit of the young Candidates for Confirmation I preached a Sermon from Eccles: "When thou vowest a vow" etc.

30. Had my Confirmation Class for the l a s t time this morning at E:Gosford, & gave them a l l t h e i r t i c k e t s , with a parting lecture from Eph: VI, "Put on the whole armour of God" etc. Maud Harrison came i n the evening for her c e r t i f i c a t e . A l i c e walked over also with her.

October 1861.

1. Went to Torigal today to meet my few young pupils 38. there, & give them their f i n a l examination. 1 had the addition of another candidate, George Pantlln with whom I was well pleased, though I had not seen him before. I l e f t Torigal soon after 3 intending to return v i a Kincumbar, but some how 1 took a wrong path & found myself down at Carney's on the road to Fosters so I had to a l t e r my course, & return by Erina called on old Mrs.Whitman by the way.

2. A very high & hot wind induced me to remain at home today t i l l after dinner, when 1 rode over the h i l l to Kincumbar where I f i n a l l y examined, & gave tickets to the young folks there.

3. Just as I was having my horse saddled this morning to start for Mangrove Edmunds came i n to report the death of his poor wife at l a s t . - l a s t night about [1] 10 o'clock.- This made me a l t e r my plans & remain at home for the funeral though my doing so obliges me to break an appointment at Upper Mangrove tomorrow morning - Edmunds seemed very anxious for me to remain, & i t was also one of the l a s t dying requests of his poor wife, or rather a hope expressed that when her death took place 1 should be at home to lay her i n the ground. I walked up as far as Parry's to see i f per chance any person might be going to Mangrove & there I found old Watkins from Mangrove had been l a i d up for a fortnight very i l l . Mrs.Watkins & her son James had arrived only this morning, but no one was going back again today.- On my return, just as we were going to s i t down to dinner I was surprised to receive a summons to attend the Police Office, to give evidence i n a case of slander, "Hargraves V Taaffe" I doubted whether i t i s law-

3. f u l to compel a witness to attend on so short a notice, 39. and as the summons required my attendance at one o'clock, & was notserved t i l l about 7 minutes past one, 1 might possibly have been j u s t i f i e d i n disregarding it.-but I thought i t better to attend, although 1 r e a l l y knew nothing of the case.- When called into the witness box, Mr.Hargraves began, as his Son on the former occasion, to question me about the character I had given to Taaffe. I objected that the said character had nothing to do with the matter before the court,-& the Bench ruled i n my favour. Mr.Hargraves then observed that he would question me on that subject i n another Court.- & then proceeded to ask me a few questions as to my opinion of his own character for honesty & veracity.- & that was the substance of my examination.

4. My Intention was to star t for Mangrove Creek today, after the funeral of MrsJldmonds. But they came i n la t e r than 1 had requested them to do, & the afternoon was so very windy & boisterous, that I determined to defer my journey, & make an early start tomorrow morning, Mrs.Wm.Nunn & W i l l i e spent the day here.

5. Started for Mangrove at I past 5,AM, & had a beautiful morning for my ride. Reached Mangrove soon after ten, made a few c a l l s , & had a Confimration class at the Lower Church i n the afternoon.

6. Head ache - Very poor congregation at the Upper Church, but good one below.

7. Head ache again. Two pupils at the Upper Church, & then came home.

8. Great gale of wind from N:W: did not go out any where, busy preparing everything for the Bishop.

9. Anne & I rode up to Mr.Drew's this morning, c a l l i n g on Mrs.Hely by the way.- Beautiful weather.

October 1861.

Started for Mount Vincent about i to 6 A:M: & had 40. a fine day for my r i d e , although a s l i g h t shower, & threatening of more, overtook me at B:G:Flat. Called at Reedy F l a t , & at Currumbong I went off the road to v i s i t several members of my flock i n that neighbourhood, & warn them for my next service, 5th November. Reached Mt.Vincent j to 6 after 12 hours ri d e , & found them a l l w e l l . - The Bishop arrived shortly a f t e r .

We had a beautiful day for our ride - called & rested about 2 hours at Mr.Lee's. & reach home a l i t t l e before sunset.

Service at Blue Gum Flat i n the afternoon - very good congretation. The weather changed, & i t rained a l i t t l e on the way home.

Sunday - Unfortunate for the Confirmation - very rainy morning.- I t came i n heavy, showers from S:E: so that we managed to make our way to the Church pretty well between the showers. I t was a great disappointment to many who had to come from a distance, & were prevented by the r a i n . There was a good congregation, notwithstanding -upwards of 90 & 23 young people were confirmed, Marianne & Emily among the number.- The Bishop gave a most beautiful sermon from St.John " I am the good shepherd" etc. About the best I think, which I have ever heard him deliver.- The afternoon proved fine r & we proceeded to Kincumbar, where 13 more were confirmed.- From thence we went to Erina, where another good congregation awaited us. & heard an excellent sermon from 119th Ps: "Great peace have they which love thy law" etc. verse 165.

October 1861.

14. V i s i t e d the School with the Bishop i n the morning, & on our way back called on Mr.Harrison & Battley. In the afternoon we walked up to Mr.Drew's, c a l l i n g on Mr.Hely by the way. Mr.Drew was out, having started to come & c a l l on the Bishop, & so missed him.-On our return we went across the water to Holden's point. The Bishop & I rowed across, & the g i r l s pulled us back again.

15. Started about 6 for Mangrove, & reached the Upper Church soon after eleven o'clock.- There was not much of a congregation, but 16 more young folks were confirmed, making a t o t a l of 52.- the same t o t a l now three time running - I accompanied the Bishop after the service to the ten mile hollow, where I delivered him over to the safe custody of Mr.Bolton, & then returned to my accustomed quarters at Jas.Watkins's.

22. We had engaged to jo i n the Drews today i n a l i t t l e quiet picnic at Point Holden, & the Miss Donnisons came to j o i n us: but i t turned out so very hot, & blew so hard from the N W: that we declined venturing out.- I went across alone i n the boat, & found i t quite hard work enough with the empty boat.

But what grieved me most was her persisting i n adhering to what she had done, & refusing to acknowledge her error after my expressing my opinion so decidedly. I l e f t her saying that I w' see her again i n a few days, hoping that further consideration would lead her to

December 1861.

22. Sunday - & to be remembered as the f i r s t day on which music was introduced into our Church.

1. Took Anne again to Mrs . Nunn ' s where she remained all 53.day.

2. I rode up to Erina after breakfast , to enquire afterMrs.Nunn, who was better . The two Messrs.Nunn,( father & son ) came & dined with us, also Mr . Osborne.In the evening I took the girls & little Minnie toMr.Drew's, who had invited us to witness a littleentertainment he had provided for the children inthe neighbourhood . He exhibited the wonders of aMagic Lantern & then a Xmas tree both of which werehighly entertaining to the young people. & we enjoyedthe evening very much .- Anne was completely knockedup today by her close attendance on Mrs.Nunn for thelast 3 days.

3. A strong southerly wind today deterred the Miss Donnisons,& several others from venturing to Sydney in the Steamer.

4. Anne & I rode up to see Mrs . Nunn after breakfast,& found her much better . After dinner I went to BlueGum Flat to visit Mrs . Newman, who is very delicate.

5. Sunday - Started at 5 A:M: & reached Yarramalong at921 the road up the creek quite dry & dusty, insteadof being a quagmire , as before . Small congregationsthere & Wyong - Accompanied Mr.Lee home from the latterplace, & spent the night there.

6. Mr.Lee accompanied me to Currumbong & kindly lentme a horse , that I might have my own fresh to comehome upon , as I purposed doing in the evening, butI unexpectedly received a call in an opposite direction,for Mr.Fred : Hely, who attended the service at Currumbong,begged me to ride over & see his brother Edward afterthe service , he being very seriously ill, & having himselfexpressed a desire that I would visit him. Although

Parish, & therefore my going to visit him was somewhatlike putting my sickle into my neighbours corn, yetI considered the call an urgent one, & did not hesitateto answer it.- I had a very good congregation in Mr . Osborne's

hut,- upwards of 30 .- & after partaking of some refreshment,set out with Mr.F.Hely to his brother ' s. It was intenselyhot all day, scarcely a breath of wind stirring, &we were literally enduring the burden & heat of theday as we rode along under the burning heat of the

sun. Two hours brought us safely through our 12 miles& the welcome reception I met with from them all, amplyrepaid me for any inconvenience which I may have feltfrom the heat & fatigue of the journey ( for whicha sleepless previous night was by no means a fittingpreparation ) I found poor Mr.Hely evidently sinkinggradually towards the grave. He has long been affected

by consumption , & other diseases he thinks, & atlength the frame is yielding to the inroads of disease& he feels confident his end is fast approaching,& therefore was anxious to receive the sacrament,Nil for which purpose chiefly he had sent for me.Finding they had never been visited by a Clergymanbefore, I enquired whether they had any neighbourswithin reach , whom we might invite to form a congretgationtomorrow morning, & they gladly despatched one ofthe boys to a family named Fennel , the only one withinreach, to ask them over .- I had a good hour's conversationwith Mr.Hely on the all-important concern of his soul'ssalvation , & have a good hope that he is buildingon the only foundation , "Jesus Xt. the righteous".

7. Mrs.Fennel & two daughters came over this morning,& with a congregation of ten we had a very nice servicein Mr.Hely ' s parlour,- I had a very appropriate sermon

with me which I preached to them ( Behold ! now is the

accepted time etc.) see 2 pages onward

January 1862.

7. & at the conclusion thereof I administered the Sacrament 55.to Mr.&Mrs.Hely & Mrs.Fennel. They all seemed verygrateful for the opportunity, & expressed a wish thatI would go occasionally to visit them in like manner.After taking some luncheon, I set out, about ; p 12to ride home, a distance of about 42 miles, & fortunatelyhad a much cooler day than yesterday. Young EdwardHely came with me as far as Newport & then left me.His uncle had returned home the previous eveningafter escorting me safely to the house.- Having thethree horses to divide the journey I made it out verywell and got home before 10 P.M. certainly a littletired after 3 days hard work & 2 sleepless nights.

8. Rested today - merely strolled as far as Mr.Battleysin the evening.

16. Thursday - During the last 8 or ten days MR we havebeen suffering from extrem heat. & drought.- Withthe exception of one or two rides up to Exina withAnne, I remained at home last week after my returnfrom Currumbong.- On Friday the thermo. reached 94& on Saturday 96. Sunday was cool & pleasant.-Monday hot again.-In the afternoon I took the girlsa ride as far as Dr.Auld's, wishing to consult himabout Marianne who has been complaining of pains inher joints for some time past. On Tuesday eveningEmily & I rode up to see Mrs.Nunn,- Yesterday morningI went to Kincumbar, & called on Bushby - Moir, Kearns,etc. etc.: & thence came home to dinner. In theevening Anne rode with me to see Mrs.Nunn. Todayhas been a terrific day - N:West wind & thermo 97.My occupation has been chiefly putting out fires onthe hill, to save my paddock fence & to make mattersworse I was unwell, having taken medicine in the morng.

January 1862.

17. It was a great relief to me last night, just before going to 56bed, to find a light drizzling rain had begun , & on getting upthis morning to find the surface of the ground actually wet.Most appropriately & literally could I adopt the Psalmistswords & say "I am well pleased that the Lord hath heard thevoice of my prayer ." etc. It has continued the same light,drizzly rain a good part of the day, & we may hope that it willincrease & give us a copious supply. Mr Osborne, who came downthe day before yesterday , went to a party given by Dr Bensonlast night , - to which we also war invited, but were obliged to

decline:- He left us this afternoon .- About 5 o'clock Marianne& Emily, with little Minie Nunn, went with me to the Church topractise our singing for Sunday.

18. My day for Service at Torigal . On the way out I called on

Mrs Swadling & Sarah, to see how the broken bones were getting on.

Little Stephen is still confined to his sofa , but hopes to leave

it before many days are over.- Sarah is up & about again.- I

had my usual congregation at Torigal , & on the way home called on

the Miss Donnisons & Mrs Nunn.

19. Sunday .- Rainy day. Not a soul came to Church at Kincumbar, &at Gosford only 8. I did not go to Blue Gum Flat.

20. Went to Mr Battley ' s this morning to get a few forms which I

required & then Ann & I rode up to Erina to see Mrs Nunn & the

Miss Donnisons . This evening Marianne & I set off intending tocall on Mrs Drew, but after sitting some time with Mrs Hely, itcame on to rain very smartly, so as soon as it lulled we came

home again.

23. A most beautiful day, which I spent at Erina - - On the way outI tried first of all to find what I attempted once before, namely -a road to Torigal keeping along to top of the ridge from MissDonnison's, but failed again. I then to a round by Fletcher's,calling at Foster's, Brown's, Lewis's, Barber's, Fletcher'sWarburton's etc. & then home by Miss Donnisons & Mrs Nunn's.-I was happy to find Mrs Nunn really improving, & beginning to getthe use of her legs again.

24. At home all day except a ride with the girls to the Church towardsevening to practise our singing for Sunday.- On the way home metJames Fletcher who was coming to see me & arrange about the funeral (1]of his little boy John. He had a Sunstroke, they think, on-this afortnight ago, & they took him up to Sydney for advice, but hedied there on Tuesday last, & they brought the body down by steamertoday.

25. Attended the Burial of Fletcher's child today - That name hasappeared several times of late in my Register of Burials, thisbeing the third of James Fletchers children that I have buried withinthe last 12 months. besides his Father a short time since, and now,his brother Thomas seems hastening to the grave with consumption.-I wish I could perceive some good impression made on the survivorsbut these repeated warnings.-

26. Sunday.- a beautiful day, but congregations not what they 58should have been - This may in part be owing to the absenceof several parties in Sydney, a good many having gone awayto be present at the grand Cricket Match which is to comeoff next week.- I was very greatly & agreeably surprisedat meeting Mrs Nunn on horse back this evening, as I approached

Erina.- She told me she purposes going to Sydney by next Friday'sSteamer & therefore was anxious to be churched. so she went withme up to the little building at Erina for that purpose.

He complained, however, ofgreat weakness , & stopped me in my reading.- I amalmost afraid he does not value my visits , IndeedI asked Mrs Hunt her opinion , as she is constantlywith him, & she said she was of opinion that he thoughtmy visits rather troublesome than otherwise - I calledon Mrs Lloyd in the morning as I went out, & on my wayback went over the Bangellow bridge, & called on MrsHay, & Mrs Cottrell , also saw Mr Neville busy about hisland there I paid Mrs Ingram & her twins a visit also [1]

The MissDonnisons went away today, to spend some time with theirsister in Sydney . Most unfortunately the Wind changedto the Southwd just as the Steamer was starting but asit did not increase very much , I don't think it wouldcause more than half an hour's delay - Went & called onMr Creighton in the afternoon . Towards evening theweather became worse, & rain began after dark, accompaniedwith thunder.

7. Last night was one of the heaviest rains I have everknown. It poured in great torrents a good part of thenight, & untill about 8 o'clock this morning.

He said , in answer to my question,that he quite understood all I said to him - but whenI asked him whether he thought he would go to heavenwhen he died the only answer I could get was - "Godknows".

8. Went to see Mrs.Newman this morning , & found her muchbetter. In the afternoon I went to the singing class.

9. The chief matter which occupied me today was despatchingold servants & receiving new ones. George & Margaretwent over to the steamer prepared to go if otherswere there to take their place, which proved to bethe case. Duncan Campbell , & Scotchman , & his wifeCatherine came down from Mr.Glue's & I hope will answerwell. The afternoon was chiefly taken up initiatingthem to their work.

10. Rode out this morning with the intention of visitingpoor Tom Fletcher again, but before I reached thehouse was informed that he died abut 2 o'clock thismorning .- It is a grievous affliction for the poormother, so soon after the death of her husband,to be deprived of her next main support.- I went onfrom their house & made a round of calls, beginningwith Barber , & then Lewis , & Marsh, & A:Swadling -Henry - Whiteman,-G:Swadling , Mrs.Nunn, Wallbridge,Mrs.Lloyd , Mrs.Benson , & then home .- I called on Mrs.Bensonto ask the doctor to go & see Wallbridge tomorrowmorning, the old man being very ill.

It was a lovely afternoon & the sceneryall around was beautiful in the extreme.

I remained some time withTitley, reading & conversing with him, & trying toexplain things as clearly as possible, but it is hardfor old people to begin learning just as they are goingout of the world. The poor man has never had any religiousinstruction, & seems very sincerely to lament his loss.

But I did not think his end was so near, &hoped for another opportunity, when I should find himfreer from bodily pain & so better able to converse withme.

place on Sunday afternoon. at 4 p 4.

At Blue Gum Flat the little Churchwas quite filled, between 50 & 60.- I baptized three infants [7]there, & collected £4-0-3.for the Lancashire relief Fund.This was the largest congregation I ever had there. AtGosford also, I had a larger number than ever assembledbefore, 120. There I baptized 4 more infants. The day [2]was exceedingly fine, as every day has been for a long time.There was only one thing which detracted somewhat from thepleasure of the day, to me & that was, a bad headache.-These have been rather more frequent with me of-late, butI hope the little change which I purpose giving myself nextweek, & the inhaling of the Upper Paterson air, will putme all to rights again.

We may now consider ourselves at end of another winter.This is the 35th winter that I have passed in this Colony,& I am sure I am quite safe in saying that for the brilliancy& perfection of the weather throughout, it has never beenequalled in that number of years. Rain now would be veryacceptable, It is much needed in other parts.

22. Torigal day. On my way out I fell in with Bushby, who told 110.me he had not obtained any subscriptions, that there appeareda good deal of dissatisfaction among the people, some objectingto the insecure title of the land others to the size of theproposed cottage.

I at once proceeded,as soon as I had completed the Marriage ceremony, & calling [1]first at Mr.Lee's, where I got some luncheon, & then at Newportwhere John Osborne kindly lent me a fresh horse, I reachedRathmines about 6 o'clock, rather fagged from the long & [21unexpected ride. The family were of course in deep distressat their bereavement, though the gradual approach of theshock, which they have been so long expecting, must haveprepared them in a great measure to receive it as calmlyas so great a blow can be felt. I found their kind & sympathizingfriends the Fennels with them.

The place selected for the grave was one of his 111.own choosing , a snug , retired spot on a gentle brow overlookingthe beautiful lake ;- I was glad to learn from them all, thatthe last few days his life, since I saw him at the beginningof this month ,were marked by a greater degree of patience& calm resignation than ever he had evinced before , therebyleading me to hope that he had not forgotten the last wordswhich I spoke to him, namely ,- "Let us run with patiencethe race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, theAuthor & finisher of our faith." I started about one o'clock,to ride home, a long & wearisome journey of about 42 miles.Poor Mrs.Hely seemed very grateful for the poor service Ihad rendered them, & I left them , feeling very forcibly thetruth of Solomons declaration , that "It is better to go tothe house of mourning than to the house of feasting." Iwas favoured with a delightfully cool day for my journey,& reaached home , certainly very much fagged, a few minutesto 10. -

26. Went to Mr.Battley's after breakfast, to give him the Marriagecertificate of F:Smith. Tried to read a little during the (1]day but could not manage it, from the overfatigue of thelast two days. Went to Erina in the evening, where about15 or 16 of the resident met me, & I found the objectionwith regard to the title of the land, & also the size ofthe proposed cottage, prevailed generally among them all.I hope to hear from the Bishop next post, for I am puzzledto know how to proceed.

27. At home today, Bottling Wine , with Duncan ' s assistance.7 dozen ( over)- Went

at Gosford.

December 1862.

1. Went out to the Maiden brush this morning to visit the three

families there Dixon , Muddle & Rankin.- In the afternoon

I rode up to Erina to see Titley & a few others in that quarter.

2. Went over to Kincumbar this morning , first to see Mrs.Auld

& her young baby both of whom I found very well. I thenwent on to Mrs.Woodwards , she having requested me to come& see her. I found she wished me to speak to her daughterElizabeth , (Mrs.Frost) about her very improper conduct towards

herself , in coming now & then to spend the day at her brotherJohn' s, & purposely avoiding her altogether .- I then called

at Mr.Dunlop ' s, after which I rode out as far as Mrs.Swadlingsat'Erina, to take some medicine for her sick child, which

Dr.Auld had kindly given me for her .- I also went to Capper's,

& got John to show me the boundary line of his mothers land.

After which I came straight home to dinner at 3 o'clock.-

Mr.Lee came in between 6 & 7 with his horse & cart, & remained

the night.

December 1862

3. At home all the forenoon, went to Kincumbar in the 113afternoon to commence a singing class there. About8 attended. Mr Poole & his two daughters - two Wards,two Taylors, & Palmers little girl.- I afterwardsvisited Mrs Bentley & daughter.

4. A sort of levee day by way of a change, had a visit fromFredk Hely - John Osborne, Mr Nunn, & Mr Drew.- Went tothe singing class in evening.

5. Went to Erina this morning to visit Titley, & aftermaking sundry other calls returned between 3 & 4.

6. Started for Mangrove about z p 7 & had a dreadful rideagainst a hot wind. Arrived at my journey's end about1 PM. in a perfect fever, & as a matter of course, aheadache followed.- Went to the school to examine thechildren & found only 7. there

7. Sunday. Felt very thankful for a cool day - Two verytolerable congregations & baptized 3 infants at the [1]Lower Church.- No Communion.

8. Started up the creek pretty early intending to examinethe children. Only 4 were present. The harvest iskeeping them at home.- After getting some refreshmentat Douglass's I started about i p: 1 o'c: & got easilyhome by 7. calling at Wyoming as I passed.

9. Went to Mr Battley's the first thing this morning, &afterwards accompanied him to his office to examinethe chart, with a view of seeing whether a piece ofGovt Land could be obtained at Erina for the School,Went to the steamer in the afternoon, hoping to findServants, but none came.- Much disappointed thereatas I am now prevented from going to Morpeth, as Iintended to have done this week to see the Bishop.

10. I've had a long day' s work rather today , about 12'2 hours. 114

Started before 8 oclock this morning to Erina , to visit

Titley. having heard yesterday evening that he was much

worse . I did not find him so bad as I expected, but I

hardly think he will last out the week. After staying

some little time with him I went on by Bushby's, to

Kincumbar , calling at Kearns's, Mich' Scaysbrook ' s, Moir's,

& the School. I then crossed the hill back again to Erina,

called at Mr Nunn ' s, Miss Donnisons, & then returned to

see Titley again , after which I went on to William Brown'spit, & got him to go with me & point out the corner pin of

a piece of Govt Land adjoining Forsters ground, that Imight form some opinion as to its being a suitable placeto build the schoolhouse .- By the time I had finished

that little piece of business the sun was down, & Iconsidered my day's work over, & came straight home.

11. Went out again to visit Titley this morning & found him

rather wandering in his mind . I attempted to read with

him, but he seemed unconscious of what I was doing - I

returned home again & remained indoors till towards

5 o'clock, when I repaired to the Church for the singing

class & after that I rode out again to see Titley &

found him tolerably conscious again . Mr Battley called

upon me this afternoon , rather an unusual event , nowadays.

The purpose of his visit was to have a little conversation

about the Magisterial affairs of the District , Messrs Hely,

Harrison , Scott, & Hargraves , having just received

December 1862.

11. an intimation from the Government that their names are 115erased from the Commission of the Peace.

12. Went out after an early breakfast to see Titley again,& found him much as I left him last evening . Came homeby way of Seamans , & spent the whole day letter writing,& still was obliged to leave one or two letters unwritten.Among those which I received this evening was a verysatisfactory one from Mr G. K: Holden on the subject ofMiss Donnison's title to Erina, stating decidedly thather 20 yrs undisturbed possession is a bar to any otherclaim.

13. At home all the morning sermon writing In the afternoonI went, & I think I may say, paid poor Titley my 1214last visit. He seems within a few hours of death, & quitewandering in his mind . I think he knew me , as he said"Sir" in trying to address me, though he could not tellme my name .- Called on Miss Donnison & Mr Nunn.

14. Sunday - Services as usual, except that at Erina, inconsequence of the rain , none assembled except Mrs Best,& her party for a Christening , so I merely read the prayers,& baptized the child in Miss Donnisons parlour. [11

15. Remained at home all day, letter writing chiefly, tilltowards evening when I went to call at Mona Vale &Mr Battleys.

16. Went over to the Steamer about noon , & after waitingnear 2 hours, had to leave & adjourn to the Burial Groundfor the funeral of Titley , who died on Sunday Morning. [21

Soon after 4 o'clock the Steamer came in , & I again went

over hoping to find

16. servants on board, but again I met with disappointment, 116& what is still worse, the Captain handed me a letterfrom Mr Manning announcing his intention of withdrawingthe Steamer from the trade altogether at the end of thismonth, in consequence of the unprofitableness of thetrade.- I have therefore written to Anne by tonight's (1]

post advising her to return, while she can.

17. Duncan & Catherine took their departure this morningby the Steamer, & here I am left entirely alone withouta soul about me.- This afternoon I rode over to Kincumbarto the singing class, & then went to see Mrs Jones, whoseems very poorly - I recommended her to go to the SydneyInfirmary for advice.

18. At home all the morning letter writing & among the number,one to Dr Benson in answer to one I received from him onTuesday evening , sending me a series of charges against

Mrs Rudkin.- Went to the singing class in evening.

19. Bad headache all the morning. Went to the School & hada sort of examination. Mr Lee came in the evening &stayed the night.

20. Torigal day - Had a congregation of 18. & preached tothem from Jonah, 1.6.- made a few calls on the way out.

21. Sunday - Poor Congregations both at Kincumbar & Gosford.The threatening thunderstorm I suppose deterred some fromattending the latter church. I started for Blue Gum Flatas usual, though it was raining a little & thundering.On reaching the corner of "Berry's Head." the stormincreased, & seemed much heavier towards B:G. Flat, soI concluded they would not expect me, & returned home

again.

22. Eight months today since Anne & the girls left home.- It 117.

has been a weary time with me, but I hope my sentence of

solitary confinement is rapidly drawing to a close. Thismorning I made a few calls here in the township , ( Creighton

Keene, & Worley). & in the evening walked over to Ingrams,

to see whether it is my cow that he brought in from Seamans,

& find it is. Having no servants now, I do not like to leave

the place more than I can help.- Louisa Wilson (formerly

Jenkins ) comes every morning for a couple of hours or soto put things in order for me.

23. Remained at home till towards steamer time when I went over,

hoping to find servants on board, but none came . Called

to enquire after Dr. Benson , having heard that he was very

ill, found him much better.

24. A home again today , preparing for tomorrows services.

25. A nice cool Xmas Day.- I thought I would try the experimentof an afternoon service at Kincumbar this year , & I am glad

to say it succeeded well. A congregation of 33 assembledthere .- On my return I went & dined at Mona Vale , & spent

my evening there.

26. A most delightful change in the weather today. Rain setin soon after noon, & continued the rest of the day.- On

going to the post in the evening I learned that Charlotte

Harrison had been thrown from her horse in the morning, &

got her arm broken . I went on to see her, & found it too

true . Dr.Benson had set it in the first place but they afterwards

sent for Dr.Auld who reset it.

December 1862.

27. The rain continued all last night & this morning, a fine,steady soaking rain, every drop of which found its way intothe thirsty earth.- I went over to Mona Vale this eveningto see how Charlotte was getting on & found her I trust doingas favourably as they can desire.

28. Sunday,& though a very pleasant day, miserable attendanceat all the Churches.

29. Went over to Kincumbar this morning to visit Mrs.Jones, whois lying sick at Bullock's.- From thence I repaired to Erina& dined with the Miss Donnisons. Met Mrs.Nunn there.

30. At home today with the exception of a call at Mona Vale,& then at Cottrill's. Charlotte seems going on very favourablywith her broken limb, & I trust all will be well again soon.-Again disappointed by the non-arrival of any servants bythe steamer.

31. At home all the morning. Went over to Kincumbar for thesinging class there in the afternoon, & when that was overI went to see Mrs.Jones, who has removed from Bullock's toher own home. Found her very poorly.

118.

January 1863.

1. Began the new year by marrying a couple, (by license) Mountford 119.Cook & Jane Gavenlock.- Messrs.Nunn, Senr. & Junr. & John [7]Osborne looked in & dined with me. Went to the church forsigning towards evening, but very few attended.

2. Did not go out today, except to the post this evening.

3. At home, meeting with all kinds of interruptions in the morning.In the afternoon went to Blue Gum Flat to bury a child of

(2]Joseph Morris's who died yesterday morng.

4. A very unsatisfactory Sunday.- Owing to my being quite alone,& having no one to leave in charge of the place, I remaiendat home this first Sunday of the month instead Of makingmy accustomed circuit to Yarramalong, Currumbong, etc.- &gave notice for an afternoon service at Blue Gum Flat, hopingthe people would be glad of the opportunity. But I was muchdisappointed. Only 33 attended, while at E:Gosford in themorning there were only 60.- I called at Wyoming on my wayback, & took tea, & spent the evening there.

5. One of the hottest day I have ever experienced. The thermometerreached 101. in our very cool verandah. Great gale from Southd.sprang up about 2P:M: f I feared Mr.Loutit's boat would driftashore, she dragged so much with her anchor. Parry & Watkinsbegan shingling the Parsonage this morning, & stripped oneend of the roof, so that if rain should come on, which isvery likely from present appearances, the ceilings will standa poor chance, for the sail they have spread over it willhardly keep out the rain.

6. At home, occupied chiefly with household work, having no

servants yet.

7. After finishing off my housework this morning, I rode over 120.to see Mrs.Donelly, & ask her whether she would do a littlewashing for me & finding her willing to do so, I took her3'2 dozen of clothes this afternoon in the boat. Mrs.Bramwellcalled this morning to ask me to go over & baptize her littlegrandson Mrs.Dwyer's child. It is dangerously ill, & theyfear will not recover. It was baptized in infancy by Mr.Woolfrey,but against the mothers wishes, it appears, I of course explainedto Mrs.Bramwell, that I could not baptize the child a second (1]time. Mrs.Rudkin also called this evening, & promised tocome & sweep some of the fleas away for me on Friday.

8. The weather still continues dry, which is certainly veryfavourable for the shingling, which gets on very well. Thehave done nearly half the front, besides one end & I thinkare making a good job of it. I have been at home, as usual,all day, except to the singing class in the aifti evening.-Only 5 present.

9 I have had a rather disagreeable day of it today, what wecall a "rummage" in the. house.- Mrs.Rudkin very kindly cameover & scoured out the four rooms & passage; but in the progressof her work, discovered a terrible nest of white ants inthe parlour. They had entirely possessed themselves of asettee, formed of an empty box, & had completely glued itto the skirting board. We discovered another nest, thoughnot so numerous, in my study. The house, & every thing aboutit is sadly in need of a good cleansing. Johnny Osbornecame down & stayed the night here.

10. Still the same daily drudgery to perform, for want of servants 121.to do it for me. Last evening McKechnie came to acquaintme with the death of his little child, & arrange for the (1]funeral, which took place this afternoon. The shinglersare getting on very expeditionsly with their work. Theyfinished the front last night, & have done about half theWest end today. I have agreed with them this evening tobuild the cottage for the Schoolmaster at Erina.for £70.they to find all the materials except the doors & windows,& I to get them drawn in.

11. Sunday. There is evidently a falling off, at least at present,among the church-going members of my flock. For severalweeks past the attendance at all the churches has been thinnerthan usual. From what cause I know not, unless the Xmas& New year festivities have so absorbed their minds as todrive away for a time what little sense of religion theymay possess. The Sunday School too at Erina has dwindleddown very much, probably from the same cause.- On my wayto Kincumbar this afternoon I met Cadby, who informed methat his little girl was dead, a fine little child of about7 yrs of age.- Croop I believe was the cause.

12. With the exception of my visit to the burial grounds forthe funeral of Cadby's child, this has been a day of kitchen& household drudgery.

13. Delightful rain has come to us at last. It has been thewettest day we have had for many a long month.- Of coursethe shingling was stopped by it.

14. The weather seeming to be far from settled, the shinglers 122.did not strip any more of the roof today. Quite alone, asusual, doing drudgery.

15. Parry & Watkins resumed their work today. I walked overto Cottrells in the forenoon, & was sorry to find he hadbeen very poorly, & only just beginning to get better. Fromthence I went to enquire after Charlotte, at Mona Vale.Found only Alice & Maud at home, their Papa & Mamma had gonedown the river with their two young visitors, to overtakea vessel at the Heads.

16. In addition to my usual drudgery I have been doing a littlegalziering today. First puttied round & secured the skylightover my workshop, & then put a new pane of glass in the otherroom, in lieu of the former one which was broken.

17. I am sitting here this evening listening with great satisfactionto the rain,arising from the fact of my having at last adry roof overhead. It has happened most providentially thatthe rain has held off so well while the work was in progress,& that they were able to finish the main roof this afternoon,just in time for this rain.- The other part of the roof,the verandah etc. is not of so much importance should raincome on while it is open.

18. Sunday. Wretched congregations at all the Churches.

19. Being still without servants, my daily house work engrossesthe greater part of my time.- Called at Mona Vale, & sawCharlotte, Also in the morning I

19. called at Robert White' s, Barrons , & Keene's. Met 123Manche on my way to Mona Vale, who requested myattendance at the Burial ground tomorrow afternoonto inter his little girl, who has just died from the Elieffects of scalding.

20. At home as usual all the morning, Went to the funeralof Manche's child in the afternoon.- Learnt from MrsBattley that Cadby's eldest boy is ill again with thesame complaint as before, which the doctors calldiphtheria. Resolved to make an effort to go & see himin the morning.

21. Went out as soon as I could after breakfast to visitCadby's boy, but met Cadby himself at East Gosford &found that his boy, a fine lad of nearly 19 yrs of age,died about sunset last night. It was only on the 12ththat I buried his little sister.

22. The funeral of Cadby's boy took place this afternoon.The weather, which had been showery in the forenoon,cleared up gradually towards evening.

23. I made an effort to go out today to see some of the sickpeople about Erina. Mrs Fletcher sent me a message byher son James desiring to see me. I also learnt fromCadby last evening that Mr Nunn was attacked with thisdreadful Diphtheria. I called first at Cadby's, & foundhis little boy seemingly better. Then I looked in & sawMr Nunn, who I think is alarmingly ill. From thence Iwent on to Mrs Fletchers & found her very poorly, -Evidently drawing near her end.

24. Went again to see poor Mr Nunn. It is quite distressing 124to witness his suffering from difficulty of breathing -They sent Bonnell off to Maitland this morning for hisfather to come down.- Cadby's boy seems improving a little.

25. Sunday.- Very rainy - Small congregation of 30 at Gosford.Not a soul came to Kincumbar - I rode leisurely home viaGreen Point, where, to my surprise, I found poor Mr Nunn,who had moved away from the low, miserable cottage atErina, to his new, unfinished house at Green Point. Heseemed still dreadfully ill, the same distressing difficultyof breathing. Mrs Nunn was of course with him, and hisfather also, who arrived about 10 o'clock this morning,having ridden all night.

26. Very heavy rain again, similar to yesterday. Started abouteleven to see Mr Nunn again, but fell in with Arnett inEast Gosford, from whom I learnt the mournful fact, that thepoor man was dead. I went on to Green Point, where indeed [1]

I found a sad house of mourning. The poor old father wasterribly heart broken with his grievous sorrow. Poor MrsNunn bore her affliction better than I could have expected.Mr Osborne arrived also this morning, & remained over therewith poor old Mr Nunn. I staid till the afternoon, & havingmade all the necessary arrangements for the funeral to takeplace tomorrow morning, I returned home.- Cadby's boy stillvery poorly.

27. A day which will never be effaced from my memory . The scene 125.

at the Burial Ground at the funeral of Mr.Nunn was one ofthe most heart rending I ever witnessed , & never did I go

though a sorer trial than the task of reading the BurialService on the occasion - The exhibition of deep sorrow,

on the part of poor old Mr.Nunn , & his little grandson Willy,were enough to cut the heart of any one made of softer material

than steel or iron. The attendance at the funeral was very

good, & most delighted was I to see a reconciliation takeplace between Mr.Harrison & Mr.Nunn. After the ceremony

the old man & Mr.Osborne returned with me to the Parsonage,

(with Willy also ), & having taken some luncheon , the two

former started off about one o'clock, for Bloomfield, while

Willy & I repaired to Green Point . I found poor Mrs.Nunn

tolerably well, & remained a couple of hours or more withher.- I was quite shocked at the appearance of Cadby's boy

Edward. He is evidently dying.

28. Went to Erina today, intending to visit old Mrs.Fletcher,

but finding that Cadby's boy died last night & they wished

him buried this afternoon . I did not go beyond Miss Donnison's.

Found Mrs . Nunn at Erina, very much better than yesterday.-

Buried little Edward Cadby at 5 o'clock this afternoon.-

Making the 7th funeral this month. If I am not mistaken,

Mrs.Mclntosh ' s little grandson will be the next.

Among others, on the way back I went tosee Mrs.Nunn, at Green Point, & found her tolerably well.Was sorry to find little Willie complaining of sore throat.-Sarah Cadby also has a bad throat. My fears respectingC.Mclntosh's child have been realized. It died this morng. [1]& is to be buried tomorrow morn.

30. Funeral of the above child this morning , after which I wentto see Mrs.Benson , whom I found in bed with Diphtheria, butshe expressed a strong hope that they had checked it in time.On going to Cadby's I was glad to find that Sarah was better.This afternoon I was greatly rejoiced by the arrival of servants -at last- from Sydney I shall now be able to start upon myMangrove journey tomorrow . Parry & Watkins also finishedthe shingling of the house today.

3. At home all the morning, writing etc. In the afternoon rodeto Green Point to see Mrs.Nunn.

4. Went to Kincumbar today, out to McMaster's. calling at Bentley's

&Kirk's by the way. Found Allan McMaster there, also JamesDunlop. Great thunderstorm came on, with heavy shower of

rain, which kept me there till z past 4, & so prevented mefrom making some other calls which I had intended. Camehome by Green Point,& fouhd Mr. & Mrs.Nunn there from Bloomfield.

5. At home all the morning - Went to the Church in Afternoonf to fix the two new notes of the Harmonium that I got fromSydney, but finding they were each half a tone too high Ihad to take them off again.

25. This long pause was caused by my going to Singleton to bringAnne & the girls home again . I started on ^nesdap-tlse-18th, [1]r#din Wednesday 11th about 5 A:M: riding Farmer, & leadingNelly, with the side saddle , & reached Mount Vincent in verygood time .

Not havingbeen there for about 30 years, of course I could scarcelyrecognize anything about the place . On Friday morning JohnWyndham mounted me on one of their nags, & took me all overtheir large vineyard of 32 acres .

So as to get home before the end of the week , but 129knowing that after such a heavy fall of rain somedays would be required to render the roads passable,I was obliged to alter our arrangements , so as toget to Mount Vincent on Saturday - rest there onSunday - & then proceed homeward on Monday. I leftSingleton on Thursday for Morpeth , where the Bishopgave me his usual welcome reception, & before I hadbeen many minutes in conversation , he asked me how Iwould like to remove from Brisbane Water to Lochinvar,which is now vacant.- Singular enough, at Singletonthey had been urging me to apply to the Bishop for achange to that very place . I did not hesitate to saythat I was quite willing, & would be thankful toaccept his lordship ' s offer. I have long felt thatit was "expedient for the people here that I go away".for the work of this district is becoming more laborious,while my strength & powers of endurance are decreasing.The change will not be made for some months , probably nottill towards the end of the year.- On Friday I rode outto Bloomfield to arrange about getting the horses in thenext morning . I found the road through South Park allunder water , & having previously arranged that they wereto take their tickets by the train from Branxton toWest Maitland, being the station nearest to Bloomfield,I sent up a telegram from Morpeth telling them to comeon to East Maitland . where I met them at o to 9 onSaturday morning . After getting a cup of tea

25. at the Inn , & strapping all our bundles on to thesaddles, we made our way to Bloomfield , where wefound a third breakfast ready for us.- About oneo'clock we again mounted our horses & set off forMount Vincent . When about . half way, gathering clouds& distant rumbling thunder warned us that we couldnot afford to loiter to we made the most of the levelparts of the road, & had scarcely reached the houseat Mt Vincent when the storm commenced , & we werethankful to have escaped the heavy shower that fell.It was followed by a second very heavy shower at night.-They all seemed glad to see us, & gave us a hospitablewelcome.- On Sunday we had both Morning & eveningservice at their little Church. The latter service waswell attended but the unsettled weather, I fancy,prevented some from coming to Church. On Monday (23rd)we rose soon after 4, & at exactly 6 o'clock started onour homeward journey . We found so much water on the roadafter crossing the range , that we could not make muchprogress . We reached Currumbong about $ p 9, & enjoyeda cup of tea & some nice bread & butter which Mrs Overallkindly set before us. Starting again about 10, we reachedMr Lee's soon after one . Here we rested upwards of 3 hours,Emily seemed rather faint after the long ride , but a nicesleep of two hours quite revived her. At half past 4 weagain mounted our horses , which were all fresh & strong forthe journey , & made good way as long as the daylight lasted.The sky became very much overcast , & a little rain fell soonafter leaving Reedy Flat.- At Tuggerah beach Creek it began

25. again , & continued the rest of the way . It became 131quite dark by the time we reached Blue Gum Flat, &was very dismal crossing Berry's Head . We got onwonderfully well, however , without any let, orhindrance , & soon after 9 o'clock found ourselvessafe & sound once more within the walls of theParsonage having travelled 42 miles in the day.-I was certainly not a little surprised at their allstanding the long & toilsome journey so well, & stillmore astonished at their feeling so little of theeffects the following day; but they were all up intolerable time yesterday morning, feeling none theworse for the journey . We have all been very busy,yesterday & today , getting the house put to rights.This afternoon I took Toby over to Green Point, &delivered him over there. Found Mrs Nunn Senr verypoorly, but Mrs Wm Nunn much better than she had been.-Got caught in a great thunderstorm on my way back.-Yesterday morning we had a visit from Mr North, &Mr Horsbrugh . The latter , with his brother Henry,has come back again to Brisbane Water, They havetaken Manke's little Cottage in East Gosford.- TheSteamer came down again yesterday afternoon, & wentaway this morning. I hear she is to continue runningas before.

26. I have for a long time been much in want of a ladder, sothe weather being very unsettled & threatening rainthis morning , I stayed at home, & set to work, & mademyself a capital ladder out of battens . Otherwiseemployed helping to get things put to rights.

February 1863.

28. Yesterday I remained at home all the morning, writing 132

letters etc. In the afternoon I rode out to Erina tosee how Parry & Watkins were getting on with the

building, & found they had the posts & sleepers welladvanced & were preparing to put up the framework.-

Called on Eliza Swadling, & I saw her baby looking in

upon the Miss Donnisons also.- Today I have beencompelled by bad weather to remain at home instead of

starting as usual for Yarramalong. I learnt from both

Gilchison & Frost yesterday that it would be quite

useless my attempting the journey, as Wyong Creek must

be quite impassable. It rained very heavily in the night,& has been showery all day. So I amused myself doing alittle carpentering - All still busy rearranging & puttingthings to rights.

March 1863.

1. Sunday. Being kept at home by the floods, I had bothmorning & afternoon service at East Gosford. The morningcongregation was but a small one. In the afternoon, much

study.

4. Remained at home all the morning expecting to be called 133to attend the funeral of poor old Mrs Whiteman, who died [1]on Monday - While at dinner a man called to say they wouldbe at the Burial Ground at 3 o'clock. I went accordingly& waited at Mr Battley's till near 4 before I saw themcoming. so that it was past 5 by the time I returned - toolate to go to Green Point, as we had intended. In theevening Mr Nunn & his daughters rode by accompanied byMr Osborne, who, after seeing them safe across the Punt,returned & stayed the night here.

5. A bad headache disturbed me a good deal last night, &forced me to get up & have recourse to medicine (Bland'sPills) which gave me instant relief. Not feeling verywell in the morning I remained at home to nurse myself.& spent the morning sermon writing. This evening we allwalked over to call on the Battleys, & did a littleshopping by the way.

6. The weather continues very unsettled, & threatening morerain. The last two days have been dull, gloomy northeasters,with a slight shower every now & then. I think it likelythere has been heavy rain farther north, & we shall probablyhear of more disastrous floods. Now (8 P.M) it is rainingsteadily, with occasional distant thunder. I have beenengaged today chiefly making out my Annual Statisticalreturn for the S:P:G. Received a letter from the Bishopthis evening telling me that the Schoolmaster at Singletonhad died suddenly, & that he had appointed Mr Molster tosucceed him.

7. Contrary to my rule, of staying at home on Saturday, 134

Anne & I rode out today for the purpose of calling on

poor Mrs Nunn . We went to Erina first , thinking wemight perhaps find her there at the stores, but did

not. We then went to see the Miss Donnisons, & Irode on to see how the Schoolhouse was getting on,

with which I was well satisfied . We rode from Erinato Green Point, but so much of the day being spentcould not stay much over half an hour.

8. Sunday - Three services , as usual, will fair attendance, -

very good at Erina.

9. This morning Dunn the Lockupkeeper came to ask me if Iallowed my servant to dispose of milk from the cowadding that he had detected the apprentice of Smiththe Shoemaker , taking away milk, & had put him in the

Lockup. This discovery has determined us at once toget rid of Gilbert & wife & I must write to Mr Glue for

another couple . Went out this evening to see whetherWm Muddle could come for a week in the meantime.

10. At home today, except a ride over to East Gosford in themorning, calling on Mrs Cottrell by the way.- Knocked atthe Horsbrughs door, but they were out . The Miss

Donnisons came & spent the day with us. Mr Lee came at

night & stayed.

14. Transgressed my rule again today by going to Blue GumFlat.- Called at Wyoming by the way, found Mr Hely busyGlaziering. Not being very well, (my cold increasing) Idid not go beyond Mr Wamsley's.

On my way back went to see thePensons.- Gave them a little temporary help by ordering100lbs flour for them from Loutit.

15. A smart shower this morning was the cause, I suppose, ofmy having only 16 at Kincumbar Church.- A very nicecongregation of 95 made up for it a little at Gosford.-Not well enough to go to Blue Gum Flat.

16. Rainy day again. At home writing etc.

5. had told the people at Lochinvar , where he had a meeting 144.yesterday , that if the required sum of £ 120 were forthcoming,he would endeavour to provide them with a Clergiman onthe 1st July , so that I am likely to be removed much soonerthan I expected.

17. Sunday. Rather a long day of it today, did not get home 146.from Blue Gum Flat till past 10 o'clock. The night wasso dismally dark, it took me about 1 hour & 3/4 to gropemy way along over Berry's head. Found only 19 in attendancethere.

the subscriptions owing for the School House, but without

success. Called first at Bushby's, but he was away from

home then went to Long's, but no money was at home there.On my way way back called on Mrs.Chapman, who seemed much

pleased with her new house, into which they moved on Saturday

last.- Received a letter from the Bishop this evening, definitely

arranging that I take-charge-of commence my duties at Lochinvar

on the first Sunday in July.

Lochinvar, 27th July 1863.

I shall not attempt to detail all that we have gone 147

through since the last entry on the other side, but

must content myself with a brief outline of our

proceedings . The month of June was spent in windingup every thing as well as I could preparatory to our

leaving the District, & on Sunday the 28th June, I

ministered for the last time , & preached my farewell

sermon to my flock & a very painful task I found it,-

such a trial, in short, as I hope I shall never have

to go through again. On Tuesday , the 30th my Parishioners

kindly presented me with an address , together with a purse

containing £54-4-0. Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday in that

week were taken up with leave-taking & finishing off our

packing as far as we were able, & on Thursday , the second

of this month we all started about z p 5 AM. by the light

of a brilliant full moon , & a keen frosty air. bidding adieu

to the beautiful spot which had been our residence for more

than 13 years: & if I may judge from the demonstrations ofsorrow evinced almost universally by all we left behind, our

departure was sincerely lamented by them: & I may truly say

that the feeling was fully reciprocated by us all.- We

could not have been more highly favoured, as regards the

weather, than we were on that day. It was a complete specimen

of a perfect Australian Winter's day . Cloudless sky, & calm.

The roads being very bad from recent rains, our travelling

pace was slow, & though our only halt was 3/4 of an hour at

Reedy Flat, it was quite dark before we reached

27th July 1863.

Mount Vincent. The girls were very tired , & quite faint when 148

they got in but Anne stood the journey wonderfully well.Mrs Child kindly assented to my request to be allowed to leave

them all in her charge , while I came on to take my first Sunday

duties , & to see what arrangement I could make for bringing

them on to Lochinvar . I came on by myself , therefore on Friday

& took up my quarters at the "Village Inn" On Saturday I rode

up to Branxton , & back again via Dalwood, to announce my

arrival, & prepare them for the Sunday services : & on Sunday the

5th I commenced my public duties & went through the three

put in some of the cuttings & plants we brought from Brisbanewater in a bed that John dug for that purpose.

August 1863

154. 19. While preparing to go to Gosforth this morning I receiveda letter from the Bishop asking me to ride over to Morpeth somemorning & consult with him about Brisbane Water affairs. Ithought it best to go at once, & did so.

October 1863.

161. 2. Rainy day, remained at home sermon writing, preparing (151)for Brisbane Water.

162. 27. This blank in my journal was occasioned by absence fromhome, having been down to Brisbane Water since the last

date. I left home on Tuesday the 13th & stopped atMount Vincent that night, & then proceeded the followingday to B:Water. The object of my mission was chiefly totry & explain to the people the reasonableness & justiceof the requirement made by the Bishop that they should pay

up the £55 due the 30th June last to the Stipend Fund,before he could send them another Clergyman , & I think I

succeeded in doing so . As for myself , I received a welcome

reception from all my old friends, & they attended numerouslyat the several churches on Sunday the 18th- I administeredthe Sacrament to 27 at Gosford , & altogether baptized 17

infants. On Tuesday I went up to Mangrove Creek, & onWednesday, after morning service at the Upper Church, rode

returns for last month.

8. In the morning I received a letter from Mr Coulter - Gosford,conveying the sad news of the sudden & untimely end of poor

William Muddle. His death was caused by his running againstthe limb of a tree, which must have ruptured some of the

intestines.

170. 15 . Anne & I rode down to Maitland to do a little shopping &make sundry calls ... namely , on Mrs Sollings ...

December 1863.

173. 31. ... thus ended, with us, the memorable & eventful year (152)1863... in which we quitted Brisbane Water, aftera residence of more than 13 years there & in additionto that important event in our own personal history,the unusual number of deaths which have occurredamong our old Brisbane Water friends has marked theyear from beginning to end, as an eventful one tothat district.

January 1864.

175. 3. Towards evening, hearing a step in the verandah, Iopened the door to see who was there, & whom shouldit happen to be but Mr Molster, on his way home,from spending his Xmas holidays at Singleton. Iprevailed upon him to turn out his horse, & remainthe night with us.

Mrs Solling &one of her boys came & spent the day with us.- ThursdayI took the Miss Donnisons to Maitland, & left them withMrs Sollings, while I rode on to the Bishop's. Had avery satisfactory interview with his lordship, who, byputting me in possession of the sum of £25. therebyenabled me (at his suggestion) to advance the balance of£15-17-6. due by the Brisbane Water folks, so that the£55 is now fully paid up, & thus there no longer existsany obstacle in the way of the appointment of a Clergyman.The remaining £9-2-6 I begged the Bishop to retain in partpayment of my debt to him.- Friday, the Miss Donnisons& our 2 girls went up to Singleton.

178. 25th the Miss Donnisons left us to return to Sydney.I could not see them off by the train ...

March 1864.

186. 1. Rainy day again. Not a continual rain, but successionof showers from the N:E: as they used so frequently tocome upon us at Brisbane Water, though these are notthe heavy tropical showers that fell there, so muchnearer the seacoast.

April 1864.

Received a letter from Mr Moore today, from Gosford, where he sojourns at present.

I went to see Mr Smith this morning, & found him in bed, apparently much worse. Unfortunately he s t i l l seems to think he w i l l recover, though he is evidently sinking fast. I begged Mrs Smith to ask the doctor, next time he comes, to t e l l him plainly & candidly his opinion as to the chance of his recovery, for I think i t is the height of cruelty to encourage any false hopes where i t is plain there can be no hope at a l l .

... to Maitland for a l i t t l e shopping, & I also got my likeness taken by Mr Hart, the Photographic Artist.

June 1864.

Towards evening the funeral of Humphreys child took place. A keen westerly wind blowing upon my bare head, is not, I should say, a good cure for a cold.

We had an unexpected v i s i t this morning from Thomas Scott, of Brisbane Water. He is staying at Anambah with two of his sisters, Sarah & Ellen.

July 1864

16. 13. Among other home occupations I held another examination (154) of the Piano, & succeeded in rectifying the two refractory notes.

17. 25. Snape's family have l e f t Belford & returned to their farm on the Wollombi.

26. Went up to the train this morning to receive Mr Moore, whom I expected to come from Newcastle. Singularly enough I met Mr Osborne on the way come to our house, having come down from Singleton by the early train. Mr Moore came according

18. to appointment, so here we have two of our old Brisbane Water parishioners, met accidentally from very distant & opposite quarters.

28. S t i l l suffering from cold & cough, ... Mr Moore is also affected in like manner, as well as a l l the rest of us.

29. Being a l i t t l e better today I took Mr Moore a ride to Dalwood, to introduce him to the vineyards, etc. as well as the people there.

30. I took Mr Moore up to Singleton today per early train, by way of a l i t t l e excursion.

December 1864.

37. 9. Our meeting was something like our Church Meetings at Gosford used to be. 5 persons attended.-

41. 29. Went to Branxton per train this morning, & spent 2 or 3 hours there, chiefly with old Avis, who seems gradually recovering his strength. But I cannot help fearing that there i s no hope of making an impression for good upon his heart.- With the most deplorable ignorance on spiritual matters, he expresses perfect confidence of his dying quite tiappy* ^ professes no fear whatever at the approach of death.- May the Lord yet have mercy on him, & open his eyes before i t be too late I -

51. 4. Went to Morpeth to see the Bishop, & learn from him his intentions regarding Brisbane Water, for they are unhappily again l e f t as sheep having no shep^. Mr White, i t appears has l e f t them altogether. The Bishop proposed to me that un t i l another clergyman can be appointed, I should go down & pay them a quarterly v i s i t , for which additional work, his lordship kindly said I should receive an additional £50 annum.-

52. 7. I required to make a few purchases preparatory to my journey to B: Water. & among other things bought a nice second hand saddle, almost new for £4.-

April 1865.

53. 1. Saturday.- This long pause in my journal has been caused by my fortnight's absence at Brisbane Water, of which journey I w i l l now endeavour to record a brief account.- Monday the 13 ^ March being my Cessnock day, 1 determined on going on from thence to Wollombi, & then take Mangrove Creek by the way. Accordingly I made the Parsonage at Wollombi that night,- found that Mr Greaves was away from home on sick leave, & Mrs Greaves had a lady friend - Mrs Thornton - staying with her, with her 4 children. On Tuesday the 14 ^ had a hot ride into Mangrove Creek, where I found quarters at Douglass's. I remained there a l l Wednesday, having morning service at the Upper Church, & afternoon at the lower. The people a l l appeared very glad to see me again, & assembled very well at both churches. On Thursday, the 16 I made an early start, & reached the Sawmill by about one o'clock.- I was rather disappointed at finding a l l the men, almost, away at a Cricket Match at Currumbong, for I had written to appoint service at the l i t t l e Church at Blue Gum Flat at 3 o'clock. On reaching Mr Wamsley's I found that he also was away with the others. So I had to put up with a congregation of women chiefly, & baptized 2 infants. I then rode on ( to Gosford, calling by the way at Wyoming, where I found Mrs Hely, SenT- Was sorry to find that Mr Hely's affairs had come to a c r i s i s , & he f e l t compelled to go into the Insolvent Court - I put up a Mr Battley's, where I was very kindly received Sr entertained, having l e f t my two horses, - Farmer & Comet, in charge of old Mr Wamsley.- The f i r s t thing on Friday morning I went to see poor Keene, whom I found in a dying state. He had heard of my intended v i s i t , & was anxiously looking out for me, almost fearing he might not live to see me.-Never did I v i s i t any person who seemed so glad to see me.

1. I found him very weak & low, & suffering great (157) bodily pain, but was very much gratified at finding him in so hopeful a frame of mind. After reading & praying with him, at my suggestion he expressed a desire to receive the Holy Communion, & I appointed 3 o'clock in the afternoon for that purpose, being doubtful whether he would survive the night.- I finished out the morning vi s i t i n g among the people, 6 then returned & administered the Sacrament to Keene, his wife, his brother & his wife & Son. When I l e f t him, he told me he f e l t perfectly happy, & a l l he wanted now was to "go to his Saviour". On Saturday morning I found him much the same. After vis i t i n g him I started for Erina, making a few calls in E:Gosford, by the way.- Dined with the Miss Donnisons, & then went on to Kincumbar by the Torigal road, calling there at Kearnes's, Bentley's & Ward's.- Quite dark before I got safe over the Kincumbar H i l l . On Sunday the 19 ^ had two very large congregations. Morn§ at E. Gosf^ -aft^ at Kincumbar. The people a l l gave me a most hearty greeting wherever I went, & were, I believe, really glad to see me. After service I repaired to Green Point for the night. Monday I spent visi t i n g a l l the good folks at Davis Town, beginning with Dr Auld, & ending with Dunlop: & then sought my comfortable quarters at Green Point again. On Tuesday morning by appointment, I attended the Church at E. Gosford to Baptize, when 7 infants were brought to me, & Mr Hely's among them. [1] I dined with the Bensons that day, & after making a few other c a l l s , went to v i s i t Keene again. On Wednesday, after seeing Keene, (which proved to be the last time) I went again to Erina, & from thence, after dining with the Miss Donnisons, rode on to Torigal, calling on the Chapmans by the

55. 1. way. I found Mr Kay confined to his bed with a (158) broken leg, but doing very well. On Thursday morning I went to Keenes again after breakfast, & found he had expired only a few minutes before I reached the house.- It was indeed a great r e l i e f to a l l his friends to find that his great sufferings were at an end, for I verily believe that he died a penitent believer in Jes: Xt, in which case his departure may truly be called a happy release.- I expressed my regret to Mrs Keene that I could not rjj remain to bury her husband, but she was quite satisfied & expressed herself as only too thankful that I was at hand to perform the more important office of ministering to his soul before i t s departure from the body.- I packed up my traps, & bid adieu to the Battleys after dinner, & then worked my way as far as Blue Gum Flat, where I took up my quarters at Mr E: Wamsley's. On Friday had rather a warm ride to Mount Vincent, accompanied most of the way by George & Henry Swadling, & on Saturday, the 25^^, reached home again about 5 P:M: having called to see the Bishop by the way, to give him a report of my visitation tour, which, on the whole, he seemed to think satisfactory. It was truly a trip of pleasure to me, being so warmly greeted on a l l occasions by so many old friends. The weather also highly favoured me, not having one spot of rain the whole time. I found the people in a very depressed state, in consequence of the very low price of timber, but I think they w i l l endeavour, notwithstanding, to do what they can to raise the required portion of their ministers Stipend.-

58. 22. Anne & I went per train to Morpeth to get a few books. Among others I selected some for Mrs G. Davis's Sunday School at Kincumbar.

She became quite angry with me because I endeavoured to open her eyes to the incestuous condition in which she i s liv i n g , declaring her conviction that she was not wrong, & therefore her intention of remaining as she i s . When I asked for a Bible to point out from Gods own word the sin of which she & her so called husband are guilty, she declined getting i t , intimating that she knew the Bible quite as well as I did, & that she did not desire any further word from me about i t . - I therefore l e f t here, ...

67. 6. I was delighted to learn from the Bishop that there is a hope of Brisbane Water being ere long supplied with a Clergyman. Another Mr Shaw, brother of the two already out here of that name, i s now on his passage from England, & the Bishop hopes to f i x him at Brisbane Water.

68. 17. Preparing for tomorrow's services, & getting every thing ready for my Brisbane Water journey which I commence tomorrow.

69. 19. Rode to Wollombi, calling by the way at Birminghams, & one or two other places. Found Mr Greaves at home again, & looking very well.- The weather very fine.

20. Another delightful bright sunny day, rather warm at midday. Rode from Wollombi into Mangrove Creek, going down the new track to Douglass, Sen- who has selected a piece of land at the head of the creek. Was grieved to find that his wife had been sent away to the Lunatic Asylum at Tarban creek.- Reached Douglass Jun^ about dusk, & found that Mrs D: had gone away for medical advice.-Stayed there the night.

21. Had divine service, morning at Upper Church & afternoon at Lower, good attendance at both places, & a l l seemed glad to see me. James Watkins having shifted his quarters & gone higher up, I repaired to Pemberton's for a night's lodging. At the lower Church I baptized a child from the Hawkesbury (Seymour's) & I also privately baptized a new born infant of W° Atkins.

22. Started after breakfast for Gosford, accompanied by Pemberton as far as the blood tree. I rode down to the Sawmill, but found that Mr Scott was away in Sydney. The servant got me some luncheon, after which I rode on to Gosford, calling by the way on as many as I could. Reached Mr Battley's just at dark.

24. Had a troublesome eye, occasioned by a stye, which made me curtail my day's work. After making a few

70. calls in E:Gosford, I rode out to Erina to see the Miss Donnisons, & then returned to my quarters at Mr Battleys.

25. Sunday. Happily my eye was much better this morning, otherwise I should have had some di f f i c u l t y in getting thro' my day's work. The day was calm & beautiful, as a l l the previous week had been, & both Churches were well f i l l e d . At E:Gosford I preached from Acts, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Xtian." I administered the Holy Comm- to 27.- After the service at Kincumber, I repaired to Green Point, where I met with a kind welcome from our old friends the Nunns.

26. Spent the day vis i t i n g about Davis Town, commencing at Dr Aulds, & finishing at Dunlop's.

27. After breakfast I l e f t Green Point & came to the Church at E. Gosford for the purpose of baptizing any infants that might be brought to me. I had appointed eleven o'clock, but i t was past 12 before they a l l assembled, & then baptized eleven infants. It was a most lovely f7J day again & the broadwater never appeared more beautiful. After dinner we borrowed Coulter's boat, in which Tom Battley, Emily, Harriett & myself crossed the water to Point Clare. Found the Scott's a l l well & very busy with their new house, which promises to be a very nice one.

29. After saying good bye to the good folks at Gosford, I started about one o'clock for Blue Gum Flat, where I had a nice congregation at 3. P:M: Stayed at E: Wamsley's that night. At a l l the various parts of the d i s t r i c t , collectors had been procuring l i s t s of promised subscriptions to the Clergy Stipend Fund, & I was much pleased to find Mr Wamsley had so good a l i s t , amounting to upwards of £30. This makes a total of about £85. & I think £25 more may yet be obtained.

30. Started from Mr Wamsleys about 8 o'clock, a cold frosty 71. morning with ice on the puddles in the road. Reached

Currumbong about one o'clock, where I found a congregation (unexpected) awaiting me. Mr F: Hely was among them. They assembled at the house of William Deeves where I baptized two infants, & preached them a sermon [2] from the text, "What shall i t profit a man i f he gain the whole world, & lose his own soul." After a cup of tea etc. I remounted my horse, & finished my journey very comfortably, reaching Mr Child's about i p 5.

July

1. Started from Mount Vincent after breakfast, with another beautiful day, & reached E:Maitland soon after 12. Leaving my horse at Mr Tyrrell's I took the train to Morpeth, & made my report to the Bishop, with which he was well pleased.- I then walked back to E:Maitland, & rode home in comfortable time, & thus completed my journey.-I never had such a favourable journey as far as weather was concerned: day after day bright cloudless sky etc etc. I found Anne & Marianne only at home, they having l e f t Emily behind them at Dalwood.

August 1865.

80. 30. I rode over to Kaludah, to enquire after Mr James Doyle (from Hawkesbury) who i s very i l l , & was grieved to find him suffering such intense pain. Mr Cyrus D: called just as I was preparing to start.-

86. 5. ... rode on to Paterson via Hinton. The object of (162) my journey thither was to see Mrs Henry Brooker, (formerly Elizabeth Muddle) & see whether they could render any assistance to poor William's Widow, by taking one or two of the children.

10. While preparing for a good day's writing, just after breakfast, a knock came at the front door, & on opening i t Mr Shaw announced himself, having l e f t Sydney last night, & come by early train from Newcastle. The reason of our not seeing his arrival in the papers was, his having come direct from to Melbourne, instead of Sydney.- I am delighted to find that he is pleased with the idea of going to

87. Brisbane Water. But we must now keep him t i l l the Bishop returns from the Clarence.- He has brought a boy-servant with him from England.

12. Took Mr Shaw to introduce him to Dalwood today.

14. Took a trip to Singleton today to show Mr Shaw that part of the country, & introduce him to Henry's family, ...

15. Sunday. Mr Shaw accompanied me to Branxton this morning, & preached for me there as well as at Lochinvar in the afternoon. Marianne went with us also to play the new Harmonium, which seems to give satisfaction.

16. Went with Mr Shaw to Morpeth to look for his English letters which he found at the Bishop's.- Introduced him to Mr Walsh, & afterwards to Mr Tyrrell, at whose house we dined, & then walked to West Maitland where we had a l i t t l e business to porform transact after which we came home by evening train.

17. Took Mr Shaw to the Wilderness, to introduce him to the Holmeses. Rather a hot day & very windy. We took a walk while there to see the new vineyard on the h i l l .

October 1865.

88. 19. Spencer Holmes called today, & took Mr Shaw home (163) with him to spend a day or two.

22. Sunday. Mr Shaw read the prayers, & I preached this morning at Lochinvar, & vice versa at Branxton. Mr Shaw accompanied me to the Wilderness.

23. Returned to dine at Mr Holmes's, & Mr Shaw returned with me in the evening.

24. Mr & Mrs Tyrrell, & Mr Walsh came up this morning, by invitation. The two gents with Mr Shaw & myself rode over to Dalwood, & had a very hot ride.

27. Mr Shaw & I went to Morpeth by early train hoping to find the Bishop, but he had not returned - Came back again per Midday train,

89. 28. Received a letter from the Bishop this morning, announcing his arrival in Sydney, & inviting Mr Shaw to Morpeth this evening, so he set off by the 4 o'c train.

30. Started for Morpeth by the early train, by invitation of the Bishop, to talk over Brisbane Water matters. Mr Shaw returned with me by Midday train, after arranging every thing about our v i s i t to Brisb: Water, for which place we are to set out on Monday next. Young Gurd came in the afternoon, & agreed to carry Mr Shaw's goods to Gosford for £7. He i s to come tomorrow to load & start. Towards evening Mr Shaw, Sarah Boydell, Mary Scott, & myself took a ride to the top of Summer H i l l .

31. At home today writing despatches to Brisbane Water & Mangrove Creek, announcing our intended journey thither next week.- ... William Gurd came about noon, & got his load for Brisbane Water, & started with i t .

November 1865.

90. 5. Sunday. Having s t i l l a bad cold, I sent word to the Holmeses that I should not venture to the wilderness, as 1 f e l t the two services of Lochinvar & Branxton would be quite enough for me, especially as I should have to return home late at night to be ready for a start to Brisbane water in the morning.

November 1865.

91. 21. This blank in my journal is occasioned by my absence (164) at Brisbane Water for nearly a fortnight, having gone down with Mr Shaw to introduce him to his new parishioners. We started about J p 10 on Monday morning, the 6*^, & just as we arrived at East Maitland, (Mr Tyrrell's) a great thunderstorm came on which kept us prisoners there for more than 3 hours. About i p 4 we resumed our journey, which was rendered tedious by the muddy roads, so that i t was quite dark when we reached Mount Vincent, where we were entertained with their wonted kind hospitality.- On Tuesday we made an early start, under a b r i l l i a n t sky, & got to Currumbong soon after ten (found Mr F: Hely just preparing to start with his niece, Coroline, to Newcastle) Edw Hely rode on with us to Currumbong, where we had service at Deeves's, & Mr Shaw baptized an infant.- After a cup [1] of tea, we proceeded via Mr Soiling's station, having heard that he was there very i l l . Found him in bed, & his son Carl, with Ellen nursing him. Was glad to find his disorder had taken a favourable turn.- We had a slow tedious ride that day, the rods being so immersed in water by the Monday's storm, & i t was half past 8 before we reached the saw mills.- Mr Scott was away but had made provision for our accommodation.- Wednesday the 8^^ we rode in to Gosford, calling by the way upon a l l the cottagers. Reached Gosford about 1 P M. & were invited by Mr Battley to his house, where I remained during my sojourn there. Thursday morning, the 9 ^ we married George Spears & Jane Crause. In the afternoon [2] tried to get a boat to cross to Point Clare but could not, so we made one or two calls instead. Friday morning we rode up to Erina & called on Miss Donnison, & her Swodling neighbours, also rode out to the School, & saw the Chapmans, after which we hastened back for the arrival of the Steamer at East Gosford, & then repaired to Mr Battleys for dinner. Saturday Mr Shaw wanted at home, to arrange his goods & chattels in the Parsonage

92. 21. so I amused myself by going to see the Nunns, at (165) Green Point, & then the Miss Donnisons again, also Mr Chapman. Got caught in a thunderstorm on my way home again. Sunday was not quite so fine a day as I desired, i t began with a very warm & high wind from the N:W: & I think the threatening appearance of the weather kept some from Church. The congregations, however, were very f a i r , & Mr Shaw evidently l e f t a very favourable impression upon them. A heavy thunderstorm came on while we were i n Church at Kincumbar, but i t ceased rainS by the time the service was over, so that we got to Green Point without a wetting. There we remained the night, & on Monday morning returned to Gosford, Mr Shaw wishing to arrange his household affairs.-I paid a few v i s i t s in Gosford, & towards evening returned to Green Point. On TUesday morning I again went to Erina, to say good by to the Miss Donnisons. In the afternoon Mr Shaw, Tom Battley & myself went across the water to Point Clare, Edward Scott having by appointment brought the boat for us. I was most pleased & struck with the growth of the Orange Trees since I last saw them. Both the Orange plantation & the new apple orchard seem to be in a most thriving condition.- On Wednesday morning Mr Shaw & I made an early start for Mangrove Creek, & reached Pemberton's about one o'clock, had service at the lower church at 3 P:M: On Thursday morning we had service at the Upper Church at 10 A M: at the conclusion of which Mr Shaw married John Hilman & Mrs Doel. We then repaired [1] to Douglass's for lunch, & about one o'clock 1 started, with a headache, to ride 35 miles to Wollombi, while Mr Shaw started home to Gosford. It was a hot afternoon, & I was very tired when I reached Mr Greaves's parsonage at 8 P:M:- On Friday I came home from Wollombi, dining at the wilderness, & waiting there t i l l towards the cool

93. of the evening, & right glad was I to find myself once more at home.

Between 4 & 5 PM, a great gale came on from the Westw, which blew down the Rom: Catholic Chapjiel opposite our house. I had been watching i t for some time, expecting i t every minute to go down, as the side was bulged in a good deal for some minutes before i t went. ... Mr Thomas Shaw, from Gunedah, made his (T) appearance, having come down by the 4 o'clock train from Singleton. He is on his way to Brisbane Water.

February 1866.

107. 24. The Sixteenth anniversary of my Ordination.- ... I spent the rest of the day reading the Bishop of Oxford's Addresses to Candidates for Ordination. I think i f the book had been put into my hands previous to my ordination, i t would have had the effect of frightening me out of embarking in a profession of such awful responsibility.

The Reverend A l f r e d Glennie, "that b e a u t i f u l example of a Church of England pastor", emigrated from England to New South Wales at the age of seventeen years w i t h the hope of becoming a farmer and g r a z i e r l i k e h i s brother, James. A l s o , i t was f o r the good of h i s h e a l t h .

A l f r e d was born on 11th January, 1811, the t w e l f t h c h i l d of W i l l i a m and Mary Glennie of Dulwich, England, where h i s father had the w e l l known school, named Dr. Glennie*s Academy or Dulwich Grove Academy.

A l f r e d a r r i v e d i n Sydney on 30th January, 1828 as a free passenger on the ship "Marquis of Huntley", which was a con v i c t t r a n s p o r t . He proceeded to "Dulwich", Hunter R i v e r , where he l i v e d with h i s brother, James.

James, who had migrated i n 1824, was given grants of land at P a t r i c k ' s P l a i n s and was b u i l d i n g up h i s establishment there. In 1832, the two brothers were j o i n e d at "Dulwich" by a t h i r d brother. Dr. Henry Glennie, who began h i s medical p r a c t i c e there. Sixteen years l a t e r , t h e i r youngest brother, Benjamin Glennie, came to Morpeth w i t h Bishop T y r r e l l as a student f o r the Church of England M i n i s t r y .

In June, 1828, A l f r e d was appointed C l e r k to the Bench of Magistrates at P a t r i c k ' s P l a i n s . The f o l l o w i n g year he became Deputy-Postmaster at D a r l i n g t o n . He was too young to be granted land by the Governor. On 1st January, 1832, he began duties as Deputy-Postmaster at Alcorn's Inn, which was on James' property at the c r o s s i n g of the F a l Brook.

At the end of 1834, the post o f f i c e at Alcorn's Inn was closed and A l f r e d returned to the p o s i t i o n of Deputy-Postmaster at Da r l i n g t o n . In a d d i t i o n to h i s p u b l i c s e r v i c e d u t i e s , he was secretary of the Stockowners' A s s o c i a t i o n at P a t r i c k ' s P l a i n s .

A f t e r Dr. Henry moved i n 1835 from Dulwich to Da r l i n g t o n , A l f r e d became a member of h i s household there. The Bench held court at Dar l i n g t o n and S i n g l e t o n .

(2)

On 13th October, 1836, A l f r e d and Anne F e r r i s , daughter of the l a t e Thomas F e r r i s , merchant, were married at St. P h i l l i p ' s Church, Sydney. Anne and Dr. Henry's w i f e , E l i z a b e t h F e r r i s , were s i s t e r s . Their brothers were Henry, John and Joseph.

A l f r e d and Anne l i v e d at D a r l i n g t o n . The c h i l d r e n of t h e i r marriage were Mary Anne (Marianne) and Lucy Emily.

In 1837, A l f r e d resigned the p o s i t i o n of Deputy-Postmaster at D a r l i n g t o n . In that same year he a p p l i e d f o r grants of land, but h i s request was refused.

A l f r e d resigned from h i s c l e r k s h i p to the Bench of Magistrates at P a t r i c k ' s P l a i n s i n 1838, to become landowner and farmer at Paterson's P l a i n s . He purchased 324 acres at One pound S t e r l i n g per acre from h i s o l d f r i e n d , Charles B o y d e l l . The property fronted the A l l y n River and was near East Gresford. He named i t "Glenthorne".

At "Glenthorne" he grew various crops and grazed c a t t l e and sheep. Along w i t h s e v e r a l others, he was given permission by the Governor to import a vine-dresser f o r h i s vineyard.

A l f r e d took an a c t i v e part i n the p u b l i c l i f e of the community of Paterson's P l a i n s , becoming a Magistrate i n 1839, and a D i s t r i c t C o u n c i l l o r ( l o c a l Government) i n 1843.

In January, 1848, Benjamin a r r i v e d i n Sydney w i t h Bishop T y r r e l l and h i s p a r t y , bound f o r the new Diocese of Newcastle. As a candidate f o r Orders, Benjamin was i n s t r u c t e d by the Bishop on the long voyage from England. He completed h i s studies at Morpeth and, on 19th March, 1848, he was ordained a deacon by Bishop T y r r e l l . Immediately he was appointed to Moreton Bay, where he a r r i v e d on 25th March, 1848.

In 1850, he was t r a n s f e r r e d to Drayton on the D a r l i n g Downs and l a t e r he served at Warwick, Drayton ( f o r a second time), Toowong and Brisbane. He was Archdeacon of Brisbane and Canon of St. John's Pro-Cathedral.

As a r e s u l t of h i s long and f r u i t f u l labours, Benjamin was known as "the Apostle of the Downs".

By J u l y , 1849, A l f r e d was one of the l o c a l candidates t r a i n i n g under Bishop T y r r e l l ' s chaplains to become a M i n i s t e r . On 24th February, 1850, he was ordained a deacon of the Church of England, and, on 1st March of that year, was appointed to Brisbane Water (Gosford) as a Missionary of the Society f o r the Propogation of the Gospel (S.P.G.). I t was at Brisbane Water that he began h i s J o u r n a l s , which gave a day by day record of h i s l i f e and work. The known volumes are from 1855 to 1870.

(3)

A l f r e d had leased "Glenthorne" to the Champain f a m i l y , but he made v i s i t s to i t from time to time, thereby renewing o l d f r i e n d l y r e l a t i o n s h i p s . Both of h i s daughters had been born while he l i v e d there.

Soon A l f r e d was dedicated to h i s work i n a large p a r i s h which extended from the Hawkesbury R i v e r , Brooklyn to Wiseman's Ferry i n the south, to Swansea and Yarramalong i n the north, and from the sea i n the east to Mangrove Creek i n the west. Over t h i s t e r r i t o r y he t r a v e l l e d , mainly on horseback, but sometimes by rowing boat. Two horses were Mettle and Comet.

He t r a v e l l e d many miles i n a l l kinds of weather, conducting s e r v i c e s and confirmation c l a s s e s , v i s i t i n g p a r i s h i o n e r s , g i v i n g c h o i r p r a c t i c e and teaching music, s u p e r v i s i n g the b u i l d i n g of churches and schools, and attending to the educational needs of the c h i l d r e n .

His r e g i s t e r s of baptisms, marriages and deaths were n e a t l y and f a i t h f u l l y kept. His reports to the S.P.G. and h i s Bishop were c l e a r and to the point at i s s u e .

He 1857, he engaged Edmund Bl a c k e t , a l e a d i n g a r c h i t e c t i n Sydney, to prepare plans f o r the e r e c t i o n of a church on Peek's Po i n t , Gosford. The b u i l d i n g was completed and consecrated C h r i s t Church, i n 1858. He had new cedar pews i n s t a l l e d i n the stone church at Kincumber; he was w e l l aware of the need f o r education i n h i s p a r i s h , and catered f o r i t w e l l w i t h such l i m i t e d resources. The c o l l e c t i o n of s u f f i c i e n t money was a constant problem f o r him.

In June, 1863, A l f r e d was t r a n s f e r r e d to the P a r i s h of Lochinvar - another M i s s i o n . Too, i t was a large p a r i s h of 280 square m i l e s , and included such places as B e l f o r d , Branxton, L u s k i n t y r e , "Wilderness", Pokolbin and Cessnock. U n t i l the appointment of h i s successor, he attended to the needs of the p a r i s h i o n e r s at Gosford.

A l f r e d worked w i t h s i m i l a r z e a l i n h i s new p a r i s h . Pokolbin church was erected i n 1867 and St. Paul's Church, Rothbury, was b u i l t i n 1868. In 1868, he was f o u r t h i n s e n i o r i t y on the c l e r g y l i s t of the Diocese of Newcastle.

His daughters had reached womanhood. Lucy Emily and Charles, son of George Wyndham of Dalwood, were married on 2nd A p r i l , 1866, at Holy T r i n i t y Church, Lochinvar. However, Mary Anne d i d not marry u n t i l the year f o l l o w i n g h i s death. She and Maxwell P h i l l i p Holmes of Wilderness were married i n 1871.

(4)

Rev. A l f r e d Glennie died on 25th October, 1870, and was buried i n the graveyard of St. Paul's Church, Rothbury.

A f t e r A l f r e d ' s death, Anne so l d "Glenthorne" and purchased the property "Wollong", near Mt. Vincent. There, Charles and Lucy Emily Wyndham cared f o r her u n t i l her death on 14th November, 1891. At the time of the s i g n i n g of her w i l l , i n 1883, Maxwell and Mary Anne Holmes l i v e d at " Y a l l a r o i " , Warialda.

The stained glass East Window i n C h r i s t Church, Gosford, a f i t t i n g donation by Mary Anne and Lucy, commemorates the f a i t h f u l s e r v i c e of t h e i r f ather to the e a r l y r e s i d e n t s of Brisbane Water P a r i s h .
