    An Evidence of God's Care

    After returning to Portland, I was shown that I must go to Portsmouth the next day and bear my testimony there.LSMS 146.2

    At that time my sister Sarah traveled with me, and Elder White was to accompany us. We had no means with which to pay our fare, but prepared to go, trusting the Lord to open the way.LSMS 146.3

    Our house was not far from the station, and the first car bell was ringing as I put on my bonnet. Then I looked out of the window, and saw a good brother driving rapidly up to our gate, his horse reeking with sweat.LSMS 146.4

    He quickly entered the house, and asked, “Is there anyone here who needs means? I was impressed that someone here needed money.”LSMS 146.5

    We hastily related that we were going to Portsmouth at the Lord's bidding, and had no means with which to go, but were resolved to start, trusting in the providence of God to open the way.LSMS 146.6

    The brother handed us money enough to carry us to Portsmouth and back, and said, “Take a seat in my wagon, and I will carry you to the depot.”LSMS 146.7

    He told us that while on the way to my father's, his horse had seemed determined to come with great speed the whole distance of twelve miles. We had barely time to take our seats in the cars when the train started.LSMS 147.1

    Thus the Lord tested and proved us, and strengthened our faith as we were brought into a very strait place, and were carried through by the manifestation of His providence.LSMS 147.2

    I had freedom in bearing my testimony in Portsmouth.LSMS 147.3
