prophet opened, and saw a
person standing, who enquired
if he loved God? to which the prophet
answered, Yes I
do, then said the stranger, You must
go with me, to
which the prophet agreed and went out, and saw
other two,
like the person who rapped at the door, who joined
them,
which he believes to be three angels. The old In-
dian prophet said,
that after they led him some distance
from his habitation, they
commanded him to look down,
where was presented to his view Jesus
crucified, which he
gazed at some time.
Tally the stopped, and hung down
her head
with eyes full of teas, that she prevented with

hell,
where he saw the wicked fight, and quarrel, while
they
appeared drinking and in wickedness, as on earth. After
this he
was conducted to a place of happiness, called
Heaven, where he saw God
the Father, and Jesus Christ,
sitting at His Right Hand of Glory in
perfect bliss, among
the angels.. Tally intimated, that the prophet did not
continue long in
this blessed state, but was conveyed
back again by the angels, to his own
house, where they left
him, commanding him to Refrain from sin, and go
and
preach to his brethren the Indians. I asked Tally how
