It was arranged that I should go to Roxbury, and there relate my message. I found a large company gathered in a private house. I felt the opposition that existed in the hearts of some of the brethren, yet in the strength of the Lord I delivered my unpopular message. LSMS 148.2
As I was speaking, a sister who had been opposed to my work, arose and interrupted me. She grasped my hand, saying, “I said that the devil sent you, but I can doubt your message no longer.” Then she declared to those present that she believed I was a child of God, and that he had sent me. LSMS 148.3
The power of the Lord attended the testimony I bore. All in the meeting were greatly blessed, and many testified that they were comforted and refreshed. The leader of the meeting, his countenance beaming with joy, arose and said, “The same power attends this message that attended the truth in 1844. I do not expect to find another so green a spot this side of our deliverance.” LSMS 148.4
