ÒSon of the Republic, what
you have seen is thus interpreted. Three perils will come upon the
Republic. The most fearful is the second, passing which, the whole
world united shall never be able to prevail against
her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his
God, his land, and Union.Ó With these words the figure vanished. I
started from my seat, and felt that I had seen a vision, wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the Republic of the United States. In
UNION she will have strength, In DISUNION her
destruction.
