Thus we continued until we arrived at Melbourne. We expected to meet opposition there. Many who professed to believe in the near coming of our Saviour fought against the law of God. We felt the need of strength from God. We prayed that the Lord would manifest Himself unto us. My earnest prayer was that the disease might leave my throat, and that my voice might be restored. I had the evidence that the hand of the Lord there touched me. The difficulty was instantly removed, and my voice was clear. The candle of the Lord shone about us during that meeting, and we enjoyed great freedom. The children of God were greatly strengthened and encouraged. {LS 132.3}

Vi fortsatte indtil vi kom til Melbourne. Vi forventede at møde modstand der. Mange som bekendte at tro på vor Frelsers nære genkomst kæmpede imod Guds lov. Vi følte behov for styrke fra Gud. Vi bad for at Herren ville vise sig selv for os. Min alvorlige bøn var at sygdommen måtte forlade mit svælg, og at min stemme kunne komme igen. Jeg havde bevis for at (133) Herrens hånd berørte mig. Vanskeligheder fjernede sig straks, og min stemme var klar. Herrens lys skinnede over os under mødet, og vi nød stor frihed. Guds børn blev styrket og opmuntret stærkt.
