When Heber C. Kimball was serving his mission in England, he experienced

with Elizabeth Haven Barlow and reminiscing of the events surrounding the
Missouri troubles, Elder Kimball told her she hadn’t seen what fraction of things
to come?

Wednesday answer:

The keys to the Kirtland Temple.
From the life of Hepzibah Richards:
For some days past the aspect of things has been rapidly changing,
and to the view of all appears to be gathering blackness. A large number have
dissented from the body of the church and are very violent in their opposition
to the Presidency and all who uphold them. They have organized a church and
appointed a meeting in the house [Kirtland Temple] next Sabbath. Say they will
have it, if it is by the shedding of blood. They have the keys already.
The printing-office has been attached on a judgment that
[Grandison] Newel held against the Presidents of [Kirtland] money. Last Monday
it was sold at auction into the hands of Mr. Millican, one of the dissenters.
At one o’ clock the night following Cousin Mary waked me, and said that
Kirtland was all in flames. It proved to be the Printing-office—the fire was
then in its height and in one hour it was consumed with all its contents. The
Temple and other buildings badly scorched. Tuesday eve a meeting was held and a
patrol consisting of 21 men 3 for each night in the week chosen to guard the
city to prevent further destruction by fire. A part of these men are members of
the church—a part dissenters. We feel that we are in jeopardy every hour; tho’
we possess a good degree of confidence that we shall be preserved and guided to
a place of safety.
