Jonathan Crosby - Dream Vision Followed by Miraculous Meeting with Mormon Missionaries

“Sometime before this, I think, I dreamed that some new preachers came with a book containing new doctrine, and which threw new light on the Bible, and their preaching was different from that of all others and that I rejoiced in it. But when I awoke the dream somewhat left me, and I thought no more about it. However, shortly after I had been propounded for admission to the church, and while I was feeling a great burden of mind, I went to the store one day, and some young men told me that two young men, preachers, had come to town, had put up at the tavern, and would preach in the hall that evening; that they had a new book, a record, which had been found, and was an addition to the Bible. Well, I said, I am glad of it, I hope they have got the truth. I can't see the propriety of so much division in the world about religion. I shall go and hear them. I went accordingly, and the spirit of God was upon me, and I went home prophesying that night, and my mind was changed from that moment.”
