Nov. 2, 1861: Rev. Bernard adds in his next day’s journal entry:

"I thought of what I written above last night and the possibility of my being in danger of making Shipwreck myself in the Storm and the foregoing being perused as my last journalism. I felt conscientious in not having written in a revengeful spirit and possessed in crossing an humble dependence and trust in God that confusion and disaster would attend the Counsels of the corrupt party in Power."
