    MANIFESTATIONS CONNECTED WITH TRUE VISIONS

    J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.

    IN Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he speaks of what may sometimes be seen in connection with true manifestations of the gift of prophecy. He says of one coming in where the gift is in exercise: “Thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.” 1 Corinthians 14:25. Boothroyd’s translation reads, “God is among you.”HEVI 33.1

    As an illustration of this text, attention is called to a vision given to Sister White, and witnessed by the writer, the first Sabbath in October, 1852, in Rochester, N. Y. She saw a man who, so she told us, was traveling away from home on business. He had much to say about the law of God and the Sabbath, but was at the same time breaking one of the ten commandments. She said he was a person whom she had never met, yet she believed she would see him sometime, as his case had been unfolded to her. One of the Rochester company, whom Sister White had never seen, was at that time in Michigan. About six weeks after this vision, he returned to Rochester. As soon as Sister White looked upon his countenance, she said, to one of the sisters, “That is the man I saw in vision, of whom I told you.” The vision being related to this brother in the presence of his wife and other persons, Sister White said to him, “As Nathan said to David, ‘Thou art the man.’” The brother at once dropped upon his face before his wife, and said. “God is with you of a truth.” Then, still upon his knees, he made a full confession of his course while in Michigan, in violating the seventh commandment, as revealed to Sister White, who was over five hundred miles away at the time. He frankly told how he had been entrapped into sin, and said it was the first transgression of the kind in his life, and should be the last.HEVI 33.2
