Day in the Life

Apr 26, 1838

Journal Entry

April 26, 1838 ~ Thursday

26 I spent the day in visting the Saints with Elder Holmes we had an interesting prayer meeting at Br M Luce the
spirit of God rested upon us while we were delivering this our last address to these Saints upon the
Islands of the sea for it was manifested unto us by revelation that it was our duty to take a western
mission & leave the Islands for a season for they had been faithfully warned, the line drawn, the saints
sought out, & the enemy combined in secret places against us & would take our lives if in their power.
We walked to Br Ames & spent the night we felt as though the powers of darkness was great amon[g] the gen-
tiles upon every side of us both on the Islands & maine land & that the people were deluged in unbelief. 5 mi
O how ignorant the gentiles are of the literal fulfillment of the word of God such as the gathering of Israel
the fall of Babylon & the reign of Christ notwithstanding their boasted knowledge
