Journal Entry # 25

"Sundays were dreary days in that wintery season. we had to walk two miles to Brocklebridge church where are patron officiated. we set out cold we arrived at church colder: during the morning service we became almost paralyzed. it was too far to return to dinner, and an allowance of cold meat and bread, in the same penuriuos proportion observed in our ordinary meals, was served round between services."

-It sounds like there is alot of cold stuff. i wouldnt think it healthy for all these kids to be out and exposed to that much cold with out any heating or opportunities to warm up. the walking makes sense cuz it was the only way to get around. but as far as the cold food and services, i dont see why it needs to be that way. cant they heat up the food or at least put them near a fire or somehting. it seems like instead of looking forward to church they dread it. you dont get anything out of church if you dread going...
