wovoka 5

We were given food that was rich and sweet to taste... 

and as we sat there eating... 

there came up through the clouds a man...

tall as a tree and thin like a snake, with great teeth sticking out of his mouth... 

his body covered with short hair, and we knew at once it was the Evil Spirit. 

And he said to the Great Spirit: 

“I want half the people of the Earth.” 

And the Great Spirit answered, and said: 

“No, I cannot give you any, I love them all too much.” 

The Evil Spirit asked again and was again refused. 

And asked the third time, and the Great Spirit told him...

that he could have the whites to do what he liked with...

but that he would not let him have any Indians...

as they were his chosen people for all future time. 

Nephi...

Then we were shown the ['Ghost'/'Our Fathers']dances and taught the songs... 

that I am bringing to you, my brothers... 

and were led down the ladder of clouds by Him who had taken us up. 

We found our horses, and rode back to the railroad, the Messiah flying along in the air with us, and teaching us the songs for the new dances. 

At the railroad, He left us. 

And told us to return to our people. 

And tell them, and all the people of the red nations, what we had seen. 

And He promised us, that He would return to the clouds no more... 

but would remain at the end of the Earth... 

and lead the Ghosts of our Fathers... 

to meet us when the next winter is passed.
