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.
