In Their Own Words
“Our attention has been drawn to this subject by reading in the Deseret News an account given by one of the Elders of a warning which the late Bishop Charles E. Robison received, while laboring at King Mountain, Southland, New Zealand, on the 10th of August last, while he was preaching, to the effect that, "Charlie, you have only one more week to live." It was supposed at the time that the spirit indicated the termination of his earthly labors, and in one week from that date he died. — Millennial Star 45:52”
