A.M. By car to look at the flood havoc, at Lancaster and Cowlesville. It soon palled, and I spent a brief moment on a hilltop. It was a glorious day after the rain - great scudding clouds, and a strong vigorous cool wind. How good the earth - and the warm sunshine - a sense of illimitable bountifulness
