A Woodcutter's Deliverance and Conversion Through the Gospel

“The vision vanished, and the woodcutter arose, completed the burial of his child, covering the little grave with leaves and flowers, and in deep meditation returned to the cottage. He was surprised to find seated upon a bench by the door, two young men who, rising as he approached, asked for a drink of water and shelter for the night. With his assent they followed him into the cottage, and engaged him in conversation. As the hours of the night wore on this became of such absorbing interest that the effulgent rays of the morning sun, gleaming through the window, first apprised them that the night was gone and a new day in the world was born. It had also brought to the woodcutter's consciousness the glorious light of Eternal Truth; for these men were its messengers, servants of God, who had come and taught him the gospel of salvation. Now he knew that his little girl was safe, and that he had learned the way, and could take the road, that should lead him straight to her, and her mother, in a union that death could never sunder. The means that should take him hence to Zion had been miraculously provided, in "The Bag of Gold." — Millennial Star 82:52”
