Among respected accounts of the current age is the experience of GEORGE WASHINGTON, a revelation bestowed on him by a heavenly bcing during the dark days of the American Revolution, in the year 1777. His was a vision of the future of a great nation arising on the American continent. An angel, “a singularly beautiful female,” appeared to him; “a new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. … Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before.. .1 heard a voice saving, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.”‘ A remarkable scene of “a dark, shadowy being like an angel, standing or rather floating in midair, between Europe and America” unfolded a vision representative of the American Revolution and America’s ultimate victory. Similarly, a second vision unfolded, predicting the Civil War.
“And again 1 heard the mysterious voice saving, ‘Son of the Republic, look and learn.”‘ At this, a third vision of great conflict was revealed to him. Then “the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long fearful blast. Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word ‘Union,’ and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed battle. Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saving, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.’ As the voice ceased…the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armiecs it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious….
“…I found myself once more gaping upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice 1 had heard before, said, `Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted. Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third, passing which the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.”‘

The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington, after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to spend the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear commander’s care-worn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington’s going into the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only true, but he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort from God, the interposition of whose Divine Providence brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation. ….
