At this time Brother Wm. H. Hyde was very sick with dysentery. His symptoms were alarming, and the physician pronounced his case almost hopeless. We visited him and prayed with him, but he had come under the influence of certain fanatical persons, who were bringing dishonor upon our cause. We wished to remove him from among them, and petitioned the Lord to give him strength to leave that place. He was strengthened and blessed in answer to our prayers, and rode four miles to the house of Brother Patten, but after arriving there he seemed to be rapidly sinking. {LS 75.4}

På det tidspunkt var br. Wm. H. Hyde meget syg af lungebetændelse. Hans symptomer var foruroligende, og lægen erklærede for hans situation for næsten håbløs. Vi besøgte ham og bad med ham, men han var kommet under visse fanatiske personers indflydelse, som pådrog vor sag vanære. Vi ønskede at fjerne ham fra dem, og anmodede (76) Herren om at give ham styrke til at forlade det sted. Han blev styrket og velsignet til at besvare vore bønner, og red syv kilometer til br. Pattens hjem, men efter at være kommet der, lod han til at synke hurtigt ned.
