Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1893-04-01

a German was crossing the Atlantic
ocean, and in his dream he saw a man
with handful of white flowers, and he
was told to follow the man who had that
handful of white flowers. The German,
arriving in New York, wandered into
the Fulton street prayer meeting, and
MIR. Lamphier = whom many of you
lnow-the great apostle Of prayer meet
ings, that day had given to him a bunch
of tuberoses.
They stood on his desk, and at the close
of the religious services he took the tube
roses and started homeward, and the
German followed him, and through an
interpreter .old Mr.. Lamphier that on
the sea he had dreamed of man with
handful of white flowers and was told
to follow him. Suffice it to say, through
that interview and following interviews
he became a Christian and is a city mis-.
sionary preaching the gospel to his own
countrymen. God in dream
John Hardock, while on shipboard,
dreamed one night that the day Of judy
ment had come, and that the roll Of the
ships crew was called, except his own
name, and that these people, this crew,
were all banished, and in his; dream he
asked the reader why his own name was
omitted, and he was told it was to give
him more opportunity for repentance.
He woke up different man. He became
illustrious for Christian attainment. II
you do not believe these things, then you
must discard all testimony and refuse to
accept any kind of authoritative witness.
God in dream!
DREAM OF THE JUDGMENT DAY.
Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted to
God through dream Of the last judy
ment. and doubt if there is man or
woman in. this house today that has not
had some dream of that great day Of
Judgment which shall be the winding up
Of the worlds history. If you have not
dreamed of it, perhaps tonight you may
dream of that day.
There are enough materials to make a
dream. Enough voices, for there shall
be the roaring Of the elements and the
great earthquake. Enough light for the
dream, for the world shall blaze. Enough
excitement, for the mountains shall fall.
Enough water, for the ocean shall roar.
Enough astronomical phenomena, for
the stars shall go out. Enough popula-
tons, for all the races of all the ages
will fall into line Of one Of two process
sions, the one ascending and the other
descending, the one led on by the rider
on the white horse of eternal victory, the
other led on by Apollyon on the black
charger of eternal defeat.
The dream comes on me now, and l
see the lightnings from above answering
the volcanic disturbances from beneath,
and I hear the long reverberating thun-
ders that shall wake up the dead, and on
one side see the opening of q gate into
scenes golden and amethystine, and on
the other side I hear the changing back
of gate into bastiles of eternal bond
age, and all the seas, lifting up their crys-
tai voices, cry, Come to judgmentp
and all the voices of the heaven cry,
"Come to judgmentr and crumbling
mausoleum and Westminster abbeys and
pyramids of the dead with marble voices
cry, "Come to judgment"
And the archangel seizes an instru-
ment of music which has never yet been
sounded, al instrument Of music that :
was made only for one sound, andthrust-
ing that mighty trumpet through the
clouds and turning it this way he shall
put it to his lip and blow the long, loud
blast that shall make the solid earth
culver, crying, Come to judgmentr'
Then from this earthly grossness quit,
Attircd In stars we shall forever sit.
