The Great Second Advent Movement: Its Rise and Progress

Foss’s Vision Related by Another

About three months from the time he failed to recall his vision, he heard from an adjoining room a vision related by another. The meeting was held in a dwelling-house where he was. He was urged to come into the meeting, but refused to do so. He said the vision was as near like that shown him as two persons would relate the same thing. And thus was known what he saw but could not remember when trying to relate it. On getting a view of the person afterward, he said, “That is the instrument on whom the Lord has laid the burden.” GSAM 183.1
