Day 121 – February 20, 1820

February 20, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)

Feb. 20. Once more we are favored with a pleasant, peaceful, Sabbath. Have had public worship on deck. Brother T preached from the words, “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.” The thought that perhaps I might again worship god in his earthly courts, filled my mind with joy and address. I thought of my dear friends and the privileges they enjoy, and could not but say, praise your mercies. We, though deprived of many enjoyments will not complain. We have voluntarily sacrificed the dear delights of civilized society, and relinquish the happiness of home and friends, to carry the blessings of the Gospel to the nation degraded and vicious. When I left my home and native land, I knew but little of the character of that people, to whom I am going. Capt B & some of his officers who have been to the Sandwich Islands, have given us considerable information respect in them. They represent the inhabitants as very degraded, immersed in almost every vice to which human nature is prone & addicted to practices to abominable to be named. O how much do they need the gospel, to raise them from the state of pollution & wretchedness & to make them a holy and happy people. Could we not lean upon an arm which is omnipotent when contemplating their wretched state, our hearts would sink within us. But we know the arm of the Almighty is not short and that it cannot save, nor his ear heavy that it cannot here. (Mercy Partridge Whitney Journal)

20. – My sabbaths are truly refreshing. I believe the prayers of my friends are heard and answered. How blessed to be the subject of so many supplications. Brother T preached today and from 122 psalm 1st verse. (Samuel Whitney Journal)
