Captivity Turned . From the time we moved to Battle Creek, the Lord began to turn our captivity. We found sympathizing friends in Michigan, who were ready to share our burdens and supply our wants. Old, tried friends in central New York and New England, especially in Vermont, sympathized with us in our afflictions, and were ready to assist us in time of distress. At the conference at Battle Creek in November, 1856, God wrought for us. New life was given to the cause, and success attended the labors of our preachers. {LS 159.1}

Fangenskabet vendte
Fra det tidspunkt hvor vi flyttede til Battle Creek, begyndte Herren at forvandle vort fangenskab. Vi fandt forstående venner i Michigan, som var parat til at dele vore byrder og dække vore mangler. Gamle, prøvede venner i midten af New York og New England, særlig i Vermont, følte med os i vor plager og var parat til at hjælpe os i nødens stund. Ved Konferensen i Battle Creek i november 1856, virkede Gud for os. Nyt liv blev givet til sagen og medgang fulgte prædikanternes arbejde.
