"The Tree of Light or Blazing Tree. Oct. 9th 1845.
The bright silver color'd blaze streaming from the edges
of each green leaf, resembles so many bright torches.
N.B. I saw the whole Tree as the Angel held it before me
as distinctly as I ever saw a natural tree. I felt very
cautious when I took hold of it lest the blaze should touch
my hand.
Seen and received by Hannah Cohoon in the City of
Peace Sabbath Oct. 9 10th hour A.M. 1845, drawn and
painted by the same hand."
