President Young's Prophecy of the Grasshopper Famine

“I tell you, in the name of the Lord God, I know the gate of plenty will be shut down, and your wheat and corn will be blasted, if this people do not appreciate their blessings and improve upon them.” ... Many believed, but placed it far in the future, while some doubted, till the myriad swarms of grasshoppers swept like a fierce cloud over the land; the earth was radiant with life and variegated vegetation before it; behind it, the dry red clod mocked the labourer’s cares; while the chastened people owned the correcting hand of a wise parent in the trying famine that ensued. — Millennial Star 21:36”
