On the 18th Of February, 1854, at
10 am on clear sunshiny day, as
was standing in the field, | saw a
small hole breaking in the earth to nv
right. | saw water in the hole and
the sand from the sides commenced
tumbling into it. | felt the earth
moving under my feet, and looked
down and saw the earth rising up.
looked in the hole and saw beast
lifting the earth up out Of the water
The beast reached from east to west.
| could not imagine where that beast
was going 10 stand. He came up
slowly and when his feet came to the
top of the water, the earth which he
had lifted up cut of the water broke
in the middle and fell into the water
with mighty crash. AS it broke
aod fell into the water, it was sitted
ana consumed by i"e. The waves
came back leaving the surface of the
water perfectly smooth. The sun
was blown out, the moon turned to
blood and the stars disappeared. The
, Mater jbcn commenced sinking down
and new earth made its appearance
without spot, spcck or blemish. As
this new earth came in sight, tho
Wa.cr commenced rolling over the
earth to the east, in one mighty roll,
aud the earth opening upon the east
SIDE swallowed it up leaving nothing
b. bu. the purified earth to be seen. This
. earth was perfectly white without u
! single spot. Every human being
. that had ever been born appeared
standing upon the surface of this new
;, earth right where they fell on the old
. one, except two, Enoch and Elijah.
! The Almighty then came down
! with all the angels-that were with
Him before this world was made
. around Him. Enoch and Elijah
+ were with Him, one on each side.
! lie had a book in His hand. All the
=. inhabitants of the earth stood, every
> one with his face toward God, to be
- Judged out Of the book. When lie

~ thousands upon thousands of lttlt
~ ~ infants, all standing up. Multiplied
w. millions of people were there. and th'
II far,hcst of seemed as near as th'
N nearest. The light was brighter thar
~ any | had seen. Every one was il
nr plain sight AS the leaves OF th'
os book were turned, | saw thousand
- fall AS they fell they slid over t
-, the left into an awful lake, where the,
-. rolled over and over amid the flame
~. and smoke. This lake of flame an
- smoke, with all that were in it, role
- over and over, with nothing 10 cate
,ro or bold to. After this was owe
,ro those that remained were all brigl
M and glorious. Every little child stOo'
,a hut thousands and millions of grow
- persons fell into the lake. When IL
~ vision was over, heard loud voi'
ors saving: "Go tell it-go tell it to II

Wv w.. voice again said "Go tell it to Il
