ALSO VISITED HER FATHER
The following storv was fm-nUh^
The GreeiTvnTe~R0lf?t-tdr by Mr7 Thos.
I,. Will Ingham. of Wilson. N. C..
formerly of Greenville.
I was at black Creek, N. C.. a nice
I little town about six miles south of
Wilson, N. C.. and Mr. A. At Aycock,
a young merchant at that point, told
me that his Bister, Mrs. Addison, v.- ho
lives near Kenly, N. C.f had recently
told him of a little girl who had a
very strange vision. I expressed a
desire to see the child and see if I
could get her to tell me the story of
her vision from her own lips. The
young merchant told me that his
brother was going over . near there
Saturday and that I could very likely
>tm him u> tnko inc. to ihw plara n hero
the chlid lived. This was done.
I found things as they were stated
to me. I found a small girl, who will
be eleven next January. 1 gave her a
Sunday school paper which she seem
ed to_ appreciate; but said that she
couldn't read.
"Spiritual things aYe spiritually
dlhcei^ied:" there will be some people
that will-question the truth of this;
as for myself. I find no explanation of
the story; I merely state the facts as
they were given to me from the
mouth of the little girl h'erself.
Her parents are In very humble
j>h?,has, nn
vantages-'wTiatever. ? Her parents are
tenants on Mr. Addison Wiggs' farny
rear Kenl.v. Her father died
years ago and her mother (laving
married a second nusuana. Slic says.
In her vision she-saw her own father
in torment. She says that she. was

anything from Sunday till Thursday.
Her mother came in the room where
the child lay and hertrd'the li'tle girl

'"Mama, I am relieved of painT**"
This young, girl Is named SmTTtd?

I got up there to Heaven, I said that.
I did not want to go back, and lie

I~ Although this "Utile girl had no I
oaten anything from Sunday "till
Thursday and had been very low with
scarlet fever for two weeks, after the
Great Physician had^ylsiied her she
got right up aqd to *se her own

to bring a drop of water to put "on

today, but I told her no, that some
people would be here to see me to
day. Next after I got to Heaven I

A lady that was also In the room
while I was rceordfng-the nbtrrtr. rah*
to Mr. William Aycock and myself,
that w4 ought to have heard her talk
Just after hef vision. Of the pretty

says tell them. He told me last night
I could not stay hero Jong."
