David Candland — Divine Protection from an English Mob

While serving as a young missionary in England in 1846, David Candland was confronted by a hostile mob intent on physical violence. According to his personal records, as the mob surrounded him, he felt a distinct divine presence and an invisible power that seemed to restrain the attackers. He was able to walk through the crowd entirely unharmed, an event he documented as a direct instance of divine protection and deliverance during his missionary labors.
