 This work refers to an experience written by a survivor of the Martin Handcart tragedy: "I have pulled my handcart when I was so weary and weak from illness and lack of food that I could hardly put one foot ahead of the other. I have looked ahead and seen a patch of sand and a hill slope and I have said, I can go only that far and there I must give up, for I cannot pull the load through it . . . and when I reached it, the cart began pushing me. I have looked back many times to see who was pushing my cart, but my eyes saw no one. I knew then that the angels of God were there. . . . The price we paid to become acquainted with God was a privilege." |
