George Washington's Vision
The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the fourth of July, 1859, in
Independence Square. He was then 99 years old, becoming very feeble. But though
so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall, which he
had come to visit more.
'Let's go into the hall,' he said. 'I want to tell you of an incident of
Washington's life -- one which no one alive knows of except myself; and you
live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction, you will see it
verified.
From the opening of the Revolution we experienced all phases of fortune, now
good and now ill, one time victorious and another conquered. The darkest period
we had, I think, was when Washington after several reverses, retreated to Valley
Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the
tears coursing down our dear commander's careworn cheeks, as he would be
conversing 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 to pray often in secret for aid and
comfort. And God brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation.
One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds whistled through the leafless
trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. He remained in
his quarters nearly all the afternoon, alone. When he came out, I noticed that
his face was a shade paler than usual, and there seemed to be something on his
mind of more than ordinary importance. Returning just after dusk, he dispatched
an orderly to the quarters of an officer, who was presently in attendance. After
a preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing upon his
with that strange look of dignity which he alone could command, said to the
latter:
I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind, or what, but this
afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing dispatch,
something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing
opposite me a singularly beautiful being. Astonished was I, for I had given
strict orders not to be disturbed, that it was some moments before I found
language to inquire the cause of the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth
time did I repeat the question, but received no answer from my mysterious
visitor except a slight raising of the eyes.
But this time I felt strange sensations spreading over me. I would have risen
but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I
assayed once more to speak, but my tongue had become useless, as if paralyzed. A
new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I
could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor.
Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew
luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also
becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my eyes than before. I began to feel
as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes
imagined accompany death. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move. All
were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my
companion.
Presently I heard a voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while
at the same time my visitor extended an arm EASTWARD. I now beheld a heavy white
vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I
looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay, spread out in one vast plain, all
the countries of the world -- Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling
and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between
Asia and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic,' said the same
mysterious voice as before, 'Look and learn.'
At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or
rather floating in midair, BETWEEN EUROPE AND AMERICA. Dipping water out of the
ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some UPON AMERICA with his right
hand, while with his left he cast some OVER EUROPE. Immediately a cloud arose
FROM THESE COUNTRIES, and joined in mid-ocean. For a while it seemed stationary,
and then it moved slowly WESTWARD, until it ENVELOPED AMERICA in its murky
folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard
the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as
before. The dark cloud was then DRAWN BACK to the ocean, in whose heavy billows
it sank from view.
A third time I heard the mysterious visitor saying, 'Son of the Republic, look
and learn.' I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities
SPRINGING UP ONE AFTER ANOTHER UNTIL THE WHOLE LAND FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE
PACIFIC WAS DOTTED WITH THEM. Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of
the Republic, the END OF THE CENTURY cometh, look and listen.' And this time the
dark shadowy angel turned his face SOUTHWARD. From AFRICA, I saw an ill-omened
specter approach our land. It flitted slowly and heavily over EVERY town and
city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in BATTLE ARRAY
AGAINST EACH OTHER. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel on whose brow
rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word 'UNION.' He was bearing
the American flag. He placed the flag between the DIVIDED NATION and said,
'Remember, ye are BRETHREN.'
Instantly, the inhabitants, casting down their weapons, became friends once more
and UNITED around the National Standard.
Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and
learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a TRUMPET to his mouth, and blew
three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon
Europe, Asia and Africa.
Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick
black clouds that were soon joined into one. And through this mass there gleamed
a DARK RED LIGHT by which I saw HORDES OF ARMED MEN. These men, moving with the
cloud, MARCHED BY LAND AND SAILED BY SEA TO AMERICA, which country was enveloped
in the volume of the cloud. And I dimly saw these VAST ARMIES DEVASTATE THE
WHOLE COUNTRY and burn the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing
up.
As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sounds and the
shouts and cries of MILLIONS in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious
voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn." When this voice had ceased,
the dark shadowy angel placed his TRUMPET once more to his mouth, and blew a
long and 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 I perceived were WELL-NIGH OVERCOME, but who
immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the
battle.
Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice
saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy
angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon
America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had
brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
Then once more, I beheld the villages, towns and cities SPRINGING UP where I had
seen them before, while the BRIGHT ANGEL, planting the azure standard he had
brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: 'While the stars remain,
and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, SO LONG SHALL THE UNION LAST.' And
taking from his brow the CROWN on which blazoned the word 'Union,' he placed it
upon the standard while the people KNEELING DOWN said, 'Amen.'
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but
the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found
myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who in the same voice I 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
FOR HER IS THE THIRD. But 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.'
With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I
had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and the
destiny of the United States.
"'Such, my friends,' the venerable narrator concluded, 'were the words I heard
from Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them.'"
