AN INTERESTING LETTER OF
THE DAYS OF LONG AGO

The following letter written Decem;
ber 13, 1855. the original of which is
in the hands of n. N. Herendeen of
this city, predicts the abolition of
slavery and the fall of the high and
mighty in the church and society:
This is a true account of Joseph
Hoag's Seniors Vision:
In the year of 1903, probably in the
eighth or ninth month, | was one day
alone in the field and observed the sun
shone clear, but mist eclipsed the
brightness of its shining. AS re-
Elected on the singularity of the event
my mind was clothed with silence,
the most solemn / ever remember to
have witnessed, for all my faculties
were laid low and usually brought
into silence. l said to myself: What
can all this mean? do not remem-
ber ever to have been sensible of such
feelings, and I heard a voice from
heaven saying: This that thou seest
that dims the brightness of the sun
is sign OF present and coming times.
took the fathers of this country from
the land of oppression; planted them
amongst forest: I blessed them and
sustained them, and while they we're
hungered, fed them and they became a
mum merous people, but they now have
become proud and lifted up and have
forgotten me who nourished and pro-
tected them in the wilderness. and are
running into every abomination and
evil practice of which the old country
was guilty. and taking quietude from
the land, and have suffered a dividing
spirit to come among them. Lift up
thine eyes land behold" and ! saw
them dividing in great heat.
This division began in the church
on points of doctrine; 1t commenced in
the Presbyterian society and went
through the various religious denomi-
nations. and its progress and close
were nearly the same. Those who
dissented went off with high taunting
language, and those who kept original
sentiment appeared exercised and sor-
rowful, and when the dividing spirit
entered the society OF Friends, It ragged
in as high a degree as In any I have
before discovered, and as before. those
who separated went with lofty looks
and taunting, censuring language.
Those who kept ancient principles re-
tired by themselves.
1t next appeared in the lodges of
Preemasons and kept the country in
an uproar for length of time, then
1t entered politics throughout the
United States and II did not stop until
1t produced the Civil War and abund-
ance of blood was shed. In the course
Of the combat the Southern states lost
their power and slavery was annihil-
lated from their borders.
Then monarchial government
arose and established nation OF re-
ligion and made all societies tribu-
tary to support it's expenses. was
amazed at beholding all this and ]
heard voice proclaim, this power
should not always stand, but with
this power will ! chastise my church
until they return to the faithfulness
OF their forefathers. Thou seest what
is coming on thy native land for their
iniquities and blood of Africa, the re-
semblance of which has come up be-
'ore me-"
This vision is yet for many days.
had no idea of writing 1t for many
ears until It became such burden
that for my own relief have SO writ.
