And I could not help giving utterance aloud to the expression
I am glad I stood a moment longer and Brigham took the
company aside into what appeared like a cellar & spread before them
the most beautiful luxuriant feast that I ever beheld from this time
the Saints were of one heart & mind & the power & glory of God
rested upon them & the elements & all things were subject unto them
and as I was contemplating upon the scenery through which we had
past, the spirit of the Lord came upon me & showed me through it, that
it was necessary for the Saints to pass through just such straightened
circumstances & trials in order to sift out those who are unworthy to
enjoy the blessings that we now enjoy, the cloud that first hung
over the Saints rolled off upon the inhabitants of the United States
with tenfold vengance, such scenes of vengance famine pestilance and
bloodshed followed that it is out of my power to describe. The Church
started South for Jackson County Missouri, myself & some other
Brethren were passing through a lane in Jackson Co, we saw a
Missouri mobacratt vary malicious in appearance coming towards us
on the opposite side of the road & when about opposite to us his eye
caught ours he immediately withered & disappeared. From the [ink blot]
of the dark Cloud to the close of the vision I have no recollection
of seeing any women or children. Amen
