so they could not reach shore and the lives of nearly
all were lost either by fire or water while we arrived in safety to
our destination by obeying the revelation of the spirit of God to
us. In another instance after attending a large conference in April
and having a good deal of business to attend to I was somewhat
weary and at the close of the conference I thought I would
repare to my home and have a rest as I went into the yard

is some three miles South of the Tabernacle as I was putting the
horses on the waggon Mrs Woodruff asked where I was going. I said
to the farm "what for, I do not know,["] but when I arrived there
I found out. the creek had overflowed broke through my ditch
ditch surrounded my home, filled my barn yard & pig
pen. my wife waiding in the water trying to turn it from the
lot to save the home & the family but through my own exertion
I soon turned it and saved much damage that might
have accrued [occured] if I had not obeyed the voice of the spirit. This
same spirit of revelation has been manifest by many of my brethren

Elder Charles C Rich while going from Sacramento to San-
bernadino with a company of the Brothern. He had in his posession
quite a large amount of money to make payment on their purchase
