August 12, 1838 ~ Sunday

12. Sunday I met with the Saints at Br[other] Ephraim Luce & gave the Saints my farewell address which is the last
time I shall meet with the Saints upon these Islands of the sea; the spirit of God rested upon me and I had
an interesting time it was a day of decision with the saints some concluded to go to Zion & some concluded
to stay Justus Ames concluded to stay because some of his children were against him I expect he will stay
untill hes drove out by the Judgments of God. after meeting was closed I went home with Br[other] Ames and
while the sun was sitting in the western horizon, I retired aside from the adbodes of men by the sea shore
alone by myself and clensed my feet with pure water and bore testimony before GOD against the in-
habitants of those Islands of the sea for rejecting my testimony while in their midst and were excedingly mad
against me. I spent the night at Br[other] Ames this is the last night i ever spent or shall spend upon those Islands of the sea. 4 [miles]
