END NOTE
(The following is abstracted from the Holy Bible, added here
to provide clarification to Archibald Thompson's words
written in the diary.)
===============================================================
HOLY BIBLE - Book of St. Matthew, chapter 3
In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet
Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.
And the same John had his raiment of camel's
hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his
meat was locusts and wild honey.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea,
and all the region round about Jordan,
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing
their sins.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them,
O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
And think not to say within yourselves, We have
Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the
trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than
I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptise you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Whose fan is his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan
unto John, to be baptized of him.
But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it
to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. The he suffered him.
And Jesus when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens
were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

END NOTE
(The following is abstracted from the Holy Bible, added here
to provide clarification to Archibald Thompson's words
written in the diary.)
===============================================================
HOLY BIBLE - Book of St. Matthew, chapter 3
In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet
Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.
And the same John had his raiment of camel's
hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his
meat was locusts and wild honey.
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea,
and all the region round about Jordan,
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing
their sins.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them,
O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
And think not to say within yourselves, We have
Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the
trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than
I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall
baptise you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Whose fan is his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan
unto John, to be baptized of him.
But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it
to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. The he suffered him.
And Jesus when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens
were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Barbara Thompson Saltou, Yuba City, Calif., and her father,
Edward Roden Thompson, Archibald's gggg-grandson, visited
Monroe County, Ky., in the 1980s, in search of their ancestral
roots. While there, Barbara learned of the existence of the
diary and got permission from a descendant who owns it to make
a hand-written transcript. She and her cousins also made and
donated a copy of the diary to the William B. Harlan Monroe
County Library, Tompkinsville, Ky.
