The Prophet reported to Littlebeard & to the Indians in Council that the angels said, his fault was in being a double minded man. That is, he believed the Christian as well as the Pagan religion. Thus Littlebeard was made a man of no decision of character. Immediately upon the death of Ganyodiyoh John Littlebeard left the unclear of Paganism & joined himself to the visible Church of Christ, strongly and strenuously advocating the doctrines & principles of the christian religion.

He says they deliberately forsook this prophet & their religions & turned to their favorite idols by the instigation & promptings of the Evil One.The next step the Prophet took was to go to Onondaga. This was his last step on earth, with the third he let himself in heaven, for at Onondaga he died. My friends, it is now past noon and I will only say a few words more & close. The Angels at on time wished the Prophet to see him who is generally called the Savior of the Son of God. Accordingly Ganyodiyoh took the road which led to heaven--He had not gone far before he
