so constituted and were so determined and persevering
either in righteousness or wickedness that God visited
them immediately either with great judgements or blessings

"If the present generation obtain any assistance from
God they will have to obtain it by faith."

As I had spent most of my time for the last
ten years in the vineyard and would probably spend
much more in the future the brethren and myself
talked over the desireableness of my building a house
for my family to be comfortable in my absence.
Several profered to assist me to brick and other materials
and brother John Fidoe would superintend the building
So on the 22nd of May we went on to the ground
and laid out the dimensions of the house

Next day the Twelve set apart Elders
Noah Rogers Addison Pratt Benjamin F. Grouard
and Knowlton Hanks to take mission to the Sandwich
Islands and Elders Hedlock and J Carnes to England
Elder Hedlock was appointed to preside afover the British
Isles. The Spirit of the Lord was with us in
setting apart these brethren and the blessings pronounced
upon their heads were written by Elder Richards
