Prophetic Visions of the Past and
Present.


were looking for the coming of Christ
there lived in Poland, Maine, a young
man by the name of Hazen Foss, who
firmly believed the Lord would come
on the tenth day of the seventh month
He was man of fine appearance
pleasing address, and quite well edu-
Gated. A few weeks before the mid
night cry ended, the Lord came near
and gave him vision in which he was
shown the journey of the Advent peo-
pie to the city of God, with their dan
gers, and some messages of warning
were given to him, which he was to
deliver, he had also view of the
trials and prosecutions that would
consequently follow if he was faithful
in what had been shown him. He was
shown three steps by which the people
of God were to come fully upon the
pathway to the Holy City. He was
told to relate the vision to the people.
He was of proud spirit and refused
to relate the vision, and thus shrank
from the cross. The vision was res
peated the second time TO him, and
in addition to this, it was shown him
If he still refused to relate what was
shown him the burden would be taken
from him and given to one of the
weakest of Gods children. He again
refused. Then a third vision was
given, and he was told he was releas-
ed, and the burden laid upon one OF
the weakest of the weak, who could
do the Lords bidding. This startled
the young man, and he decided to re-
late what was shown him. He gave
out the appointment, and the people
crowded to hear, he related his exper-
ience, how he had refused to relate
what the Lord had shown him, and
what would be the result of his re-
fusal, now said he | will relate the
vision. But alas it was too late, he
stood before the people dumb, he
could not remember q word. o, the

shown the great disappointment of
1874, in the eating of the little hook,
so sweet, then bitter. Nearly twenty

and he fell away from God in dispair.
Oh, il is awful to disobey Gods call.
And God has impressed me again and

disappointment of 1874 that burden
