60
I soon found out the reason why I had received such strict charges to
keep them safe, and why it was that the messenger had said that when I
had done what was required at my hand, he
would call for them. For no sooner was it known that I had them, than
the most strenuous exertions were used to get them from me. Every
stratagem that could be invented was resorted to for that purpose. The
persecution became more bitter and severe than before, and multitudes
were on the alert continually to get them from me if possible. But by
the wisdom of God, they remained safe in my hands, until I had accomplished by them what was required at my hand. When, according to arrangements, the messenger called for them, I delivered them up to him; and he has them in his charge until this day, being the second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight.
