February 13, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)
13. – This is the 17th Sabbath I have spent on board and a more pleasant one I hardly ever enjoyed. I have had some of that sweet melting of heart which gives for tastes of bliss. With this frame of mind I wish to live & die. With it I can welcome trials, without it I am lost to myself, and useless to the world. Oh my God were I to spend ten thousand lives they should be all devoted to thy service. Let me never sink again into that deadly security which shuts the mercy seat from my view. Let me summon into action all the energies of my soul, & ever live like one on the confines of eternity. Thus the salvation of the heathen & the glory of Christ shall be my motto in this life, & in the future, glory to God and the Lamb. – (Samuel Whitney Journal)
