Miracles in My Life - J. N. Loughborough

Rock. One very interested brother paid our bills for
board and room at the tavern.
However, some young antagonists seemed
intent on causing us trouble, but every move they
made to create disturbance only enlisted the people
in our favor. After the second evening these
ruffians, talking loudly about the law of Moses,
went out and got a lamb and, after cutting off his
ear, threw him into the tent intending him (we
suppose) as a sacrifice. During the last of our
meetings we were in a schoolhouse close to the
tent. These rude fellows pulled up over half of the
small stakes, then attached large guys to the axle of
a lumber wagon, thinking that the starting of the
wagon would pull the tent over. But they were
discovered in time.
Our efforts were continued until the fall rains
and cool weather. I then returned to Waukon, and
was glad to learn that George I. Butler, formerly a
skeptic, had been soundly converted and had joined
with the Sabbath-keepers in Waukon.
