Yesterday’s answer:
A An angel appeared to him
From the life of David W. Patten: Elder Patten exhibited great courage in
defense of the truth. During a missionary meeting a crude and boisterous
intruder disrupted the preaching and challenged anyone to evict him. Brother Patten
vowed, “in the name of the Lord I will do it.” and, grabbing the heckler, he
carried him to the door and threw him out onto a pile of wood. Some who
witnessed the episode reported that “Patten had cast out one devil, soul and
body.” On another occasion this powerful servant of the Lord, with only a walking
stick, warded off an angry mob. Once a violent enemy approached him with a
drawn bowie knife, threatening to cut his throat. Looking him squarely in the eye,
David said, “My friend, do nothing rashly.” At the same time he reached slowly
into his empty breast pocket. The assailant ran away, screaming, “Don’t shoot!”
One night the Lord sent an angel to wake Elder Patten and his companion and
warn them to flee from an approaching mob.
