[Wilford Woodruff Journal] 12 Sunday I met with the Saints at Br. 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 until! hes drove out by the Judgments of God.
After meeting was closed I went home with Br. Ames and while the Sun was sitting in the western horizon, I retired aside from the abodes of men by the sea shore alone by myself and clensed my feet with pure water and bore testimony before GOD against the inhabitants of those Islands of the Sea for rejecting my testimony while in their midst and were excedingly mad against me.
