the boy had dreamt Of Rev. DR.. Bush.
nell in his profound book, Natural and
the Supernatural" had from Capt. Yount
of California, q fact confirmed by the
testimony OF many families. The Cap

ny Of travellers fast in the snow one hun
dred and fifty miles away. He saw Pc
culiar lodges OF rock in the dream which
an old hunter told him answered 10 the
rocks in the Carson Valley Pass. I'm
PEELED by his dream and laughed at by
his neighbors, he set out with company
of men with mules and blankets, and
found the sufferers as they had been de-
piCted in the dream, and brought back,
some of them alive, they confirming the
story of Capt. Yount, who was highly
honored inhabitant, Who but God could
have conducted that dream OF deliver
ancep Through dreams ten thousand
times God has brought comfort TO the
troubled. They have gone to sleep in
bereavements iuConsolable, and have
awakened in complete resignation be-
cause of what they saw in slumber. DR.,
Cranage, one of the noblest and most re-
markable men in Great Britain to-day,
last summer at Wellington, England,
showed me the residence of Christian
woman to whom God appeared in Wis.
ion. She was rheumatic and sick, and
poor to tho last verge Of destitution, but
another poor woman took care of her,
and gave her the only attendance she
had. After awhile her paupered bene-
factor died, and the Christian woman
heard of it while lying helpless ON the
couch, and wondered now what would
become of her. That night she dreamt
that the angel Of the Lord came to her
bedside and led her forth into the open
air, and lol the poor invalid looked in
one direction and she saw mountains of
bread, and in auother direction and saw |
mountains of butter, and in other direC
tions and saw mountains of all kinds of |
earthly supply, and the angel Of the !
Lord said unto her, Call this belongs to |
your Father, and do you think He will |
let His children 90 hungry and dieP"
By some strange impulse DR.. Cranage |
called at that destitute home and hence
forth supplied all her wants. Could such |
dream be spun out of earthly anodynes
Was that the phantasmagoria of fever.
ish hrainP No, it was the glorious and |
eternal God, appearing in a poor wom-
EMS dream. Furthermore, | have no |
doubt there are those in this house whose
conversion to God WAS the result ofsome |
dream. Rev. John Newton, the story of
whose piety fills Christendom, while a |
prohigate sailor, one night dreamt that |
some one approached him and put ring
on his hand, saying, "As long as that |
ring stays on, you will be prospered; los
ing it, you will be ruined" Some one
came in dream, and by strapgs infatu-
alton, persuaded him to throw the ring
overheard. No sooner had it sunken in |
the water than there were mountains in |
sight on fire, and all around him the ev. |
idenCe of consuming wrath. While re
penting having thrown the ring away, |
bright being offered TO find it again, de.
sCended into the water and brought up
the bright treasure. He said to Newton, |
II will keep this ring for you lest you
lose 1t again." and John Newton consen-
ted, and the fire in the mountains went
out. In his dream he saw that the ring
was his soul. The one who persuaded |
him to throw it away was Satan. The
one who promised to find it again and |
keep it was Christ. And the effect of |
the dream was one of the most remarka.
BILE chapters in the life of that wonderful |
man. A German crossing to America,
dTeamt of man carrying bouquet of |
white flowers, and was told in his dream |
to follow him. The German, on arrival |
at New York, wandered into the Fulton |
street prayer meeting Mr.. Lamphier,
the apostle of that great prayer meeting.
had that day sent to him a bunch Of
tuberoses, and carrying them home, the
German followed him according to the
direction of the dream, and through an
interpreter told Mr.. Lamphier why he
followed him, and as result Of the inter.
view became a Christian, and is now q
missionary among his Countrymen. Jno.
HaIdoak was converted by dream, in
which he thought all the ships crew
we're summoned up in the last Judgment
and the names called off, and all were
banished, but the reader skipped his
name. John asked why his name wac
omitted, and the answer was, "That you
may have little more time to repent"
From that hour he was new man, and
became illustrious for Christian attain.
ment. Rev. Herbert Mendes was con-
verted by dream of the judgment, and
is there, in all this audience, one who
has not dreamed ofthat day which shall
close up the worlds history If gou have
not dreamt Of it, you will perhaps dream
of it tonight. There is lack of mater.
ial for such dream; no lack of voices to
sound through it, for there shall be the
roaring of the elements and a great
earthquake; no lack of light, for the earth
shall De ablaze; no lack Of excitement,
for the mountains shall fall no lack of
water, for oceans shall rear; no lack Of
population, for all the races of all ages
shall be marshalled into one of two pro
Cessions-the one ascending the other
one led mp by the Rider
on the white horse of eternal victory, the
other led down by Apollyon, seated on
the black charger of eternal defeat. The
dream comes on me now, and | see the
lightnings from above responding to the
volcanic disturbances from beneath, and
hear the long reverberating thunders
that break up the sleep of the dead ma
tions And | see on the side the gates
flashing open into scenes golden and
amethystine, and on the other side the
gates Clanking back into basiles Of eter.
nal bondage. And the seas lift up their
crystal voices and cry, "Come to judg.
mentP And crumbling mausoleums and
abbeys and pyramids of the dead with
marble voices cry, "Come to judgmentI ,
and the Archaugel lifts the instrument
that has never yet been sounded, and
which for only one sound, and as that
mighty trumpet is turned this way
against 1t his lips shall be placed and
The blast shall make the ronnd earth
luiver as he cries, Comes to judementp
And I awoke, and, lol 1t was 4 dream.
