I will record some particular instances
of the power & grace of God which occurred during this
meeting. Immediately after the sacrament a young lady of
some standing in society was struck under conviction, &
while engaged in a prayer, surrounded by a praying circle,
her sister, assisted by some wicked blasphemers, came & took
her away by force. While eating my dinner, some good sisters
came & told me what had occurred, & entreated me to go & try
to rescue her out of their hands. Taking several brethren &
sisters with me, I went. They had taken her some distance, &
she stood by the fence meeting, as I knew […] we surrounded
her I asked her if she wished to return to the
prayer-meeting. She said, “Yes, if I can.” I told two of the
sisters who accompanied me, to take hold of her arm, & I
would go before, & they follow me & the rest of the brethren
follow behind so as to keep opposers off.
