On the second of June I took the parting hands of the Saints of Eagle Creek Branch and from this date and during several following months I was travelling over that district which had been placed under my watchcare preaching my farewell sermons and giving my parting testimonies to all who came to hear concerning the glorious work of the Almighty and the revelations of Jesus in this final dispensation Most of the Churches in the South had been raised up during my labors in this district of country. It was therefore with much feeling that I parted from my beloved brethren and sisters in Christ and I felt that sadness which the heart partakes when parting from those to whom we have become attached and bound by strong ties. And I had become bound to these by the strong ties
