this was known to some rode agents in the city and they gathered
a company of robers and went on ahead of Brother Rich and lay
in ambush intending to kill the mormans & rob them of their
money before reaching the company of robers they came to a big path
ahead which shortened their distance the spirit said to Brother
Rich to take that path the Brothren with him marveled at
his course not knowing that enemies awaited them,
but they arrived in safety at Sanbernadeno with their
lives & money, while the robbers marvelled why their
prey did not come,,I will now give one example in my
own experience of the result of not obeying the voice of the spirit
some years since I had a part of my family living in Randolph
Rich County I was there on a visit with my team in the
Month of Dec one monday Morning my monitor the spirit
watching over me said to my me take your team & go home
to Salt Lake when I named it to my family who were
there they urged me very hard to stop longer through their
persuasion I staid untill Saturday morning with the spirit
pressing me very hard to go home I began to feel alarmed to
think that I had not obeyed the whisperings of the spirit to
me before I took my team & started early Saturday morning
when I arrived at Woodruff the Bishop urged me to
stop untill monday & he would go with me I told him
