You'll meet noted preachers like Lorenzo Dow, Adam Clark and others when you are saved and go to heaven.
At this there came a group of happy men, precious souls,
passing near us. I said, "Who are they?" and they were quickly invited to
tarry a moment for an introduction. My friends, Edwin Ransome and Peter
Fuggele, knew them well, and said:
"They are a group of ministers who were noted and well-known in the world, greatly beloved on earth and so they are in heaven."
"They are a group of ministers who were noted and well-known in the world, greatly beloved on earth and so they are in heaven."
I was soon introduced to Christmas Evans and Rowland Hill of
England, Dr. Guthrie also. Robert Flockhart and John Wesley stood
side by side. Dr. Adam Clark and George Fox were also introduced,
then there came Peter Cartwright and Lorenzo Dow, with many others.
"Oh," I cried and said, "I have heard and read of all you
good men. Glad indeed, very glad I am to meet you all here. This
must be the ‘preachers’ picnic party.’" I beckoned to mother, Genevive and Mary,
who also came and were introduced, A number of seats were brought and placed
beneath the broad, spreading branches of the tree and we all sat down, when we
saw David coming toward us carrying his harp. When he had come near, all
these brethren arose and greeted him with a most heavenly welcome. David
made a most courteous bow and with a pleasant smile was seated with us.
Then standing and taking in the situation, he quickly introduced his chariot
group again when they arose and gave us another welcome. At this I arose
and said: "Dear brethren, my soul is so overcome with the joy and gladness of
heaven, I cannot Longer restrain my feelings."
