Talks to the angels
An American girl says her religious beliefs include talking to the angels
The girl, who lives near Calhoun, Iowa, claimed that she regularly talks with the angels and says that during one conversation with them she met a particularly beautiful angel who lifted her high in the sky so that she could see the whole world.
The girl said that the angel warned her: “All shall be destroyed”, and said that the angel added “Woe unto him that is not ready for the Great Day.”
She said the angel warned her that Calhoun will be the first place to be destroyed. It will first be devastated by an earthquake and then a whirlwind, and then whatever is left will be destroyed by a `great fire.’

`THE JUDGMENT DAY COM1NG - AN AMERICAN PROPHECY
The Iowa (in the United States) `Churdan Bell’ (newspaper) of April 2nd. 1887, says: — There is great excitement among the colored people and ignorant whites along the base of the Kenesaw mountain, in Cobb and Gordon counties.
For sometime a colored girl named Lillie Marles, near Calhoun, has been visited with awe by her associates. She claims to hold converse with the angels, who hav told her many wonderful events of the future. She was commanded to ascend the neighbouring hill, where she would have a revelation made to her. She returned in deep ecstacy. She claimed that when she reached the summit an angel of great beauty lifted her high up in the air, whence she could overlook the world. “All shall be destroyed,” said the angel. “On the first Saturday in December next an earthquake will swallow up Calhoun. This will be accompanied by a whirlwind. Then afire will burn all that is left, and woe unto him that is not ready for the great day.”
Many other things were said, all of which is listened to with the greatest interest by the colored people. The excitement thus created has been fanned into a fierce flame by the appearance of a Greek cross suspended over Mount Kenesaw. It looked as if it were of rainbow origin. After hanging for half an hour before the astonished citizens it slowly dissolved. Several times since (previously) the apparition has been witnessed, and thus the terror, which at first was confined to the negroes, has now extended to the whites, and the result is, prayer meetings of great interest. The first Saturday in December is looked forward to as a day of terror.’

Well, everything has to come to end sometime…I look at on the brightside…I very rarely ate meat on Fridays, I was always home at sundown for Rosh-osha-na, and during the holiday of Chaunaka and Kwanzaa I always mentioned in my Christmas cards for people to enjoy these kind of holidays. So, I think that I am pretty Good!
