President Joseph Morrell's Deliverance from a Mob

While serving a mission in the Southern States, Elder Joseph Morrell was captured by a mob who placed a rope around his neck, intending to execute him at a nearby tree. He felt immediate fear until he remembered the words spoken when he was set apart for his mission, promising he would go in peace and return in safety. This recollection brought immediate peace and faith, leading to his miraculous preservation.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 66, No. 49 (8 December 1904)):

In the district in the Southern States where he labored, there was a bitter prejudice against Mormon missionaries, and one day he found himself in the hands of a mob, a rope around his neck, the tree selected for the place of his execution in sight. He trembled, and believed in his heart that his last hour had come. Suddenly, through his inmost being, rang the words spoken when he was set apart for his mission, that he should go in peace and return in safety. Instantly all fear left him, and he felt such peace, such security, such perfect faith as filled the hearts of the disciples who walked with Jesus in Galilee. I firmly believe that it is to this perfect faith alone that he owes his miraculous preservation.
