d that men should do to you, do ye even
so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."
Stay all night at Brother Yost's. His wife is Brother Hoover's
daughter.
TUESDAY, May 24. Take cars at seven o'clock and get to Richmond at
nine, and to Higgin's Station at eleven. From there I go to Brother
Nead's, five miles away; and after dinner to meeting at the

Joseph Miller's, where I stay all night. Much rain this afternoon.
WEDNESDAY, May 25. Go to Arebaugh's meetinghouse. Love feast. John 1
is read. Stay all night at Brother Kensel's.
This is the last love feast Brother Kline ever attended. Tender memory
will drop a tear as she looks into his loving eye and sees him take
his last farewell and leave his last loving kiss on lips that his will
never touch again. But we should remember that thirty-five years have
passed since then. Many who took the parting hand on earth then, have,
one by one, since then, taken the meeting hand in heaven: "For God is
not the God of the dead, but of the living."
