Fnrthermore. ilaYe to saw that There


are people in hi house who were con-
verted TO Col through dream. The
Rev. John Newton, the fame of whose
piety fills all Christendom, while prof
ligate sailor on shipboard, in his dream.
thought that being approached him
and gave him very beautiful ring and
put it upon his finger and said to him,
"As long as you wear that ring you will
be prospered; If you lose that ring, you
will be ruined"
In the same dream another parsonage
appeared, and by strange infatuation
persuaded John Newton to throw that
ring overheard, and it sank into the sea.
Then the mountains in sight were full Of
fire, and the air was lurid with consum-
ing wrath While John Newton was re-
penting Of his folly in having thrown
overheard the treasure, another person
age came through the dream and told
John Newton he would plunge into the
sea and bring the ring up if he desired it.
He plunged into the sea and brought
it up and said to John Newton, "Here
is that gem, but think will keep it for
you, lest you lose it again." and John
Newton consented, and all the fire went
out from the mountains, and all the
signs of lurid wrath disappeared from
the air, and John Newton said that he
saw in his dream that that valuable gem
was his soul, and that the being who per-
suaded him to throw it overheard was
satan, and that the one who plunged in
and restored that gem, keeping it for
him, was Christ. And that dream makes
one Of the most wonderful chapters in
the life of that most wonderful man.
A German was crossing the Atlantic
ocean, and in his dream he saw 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
Mr.. Lamphier - whom many Of you
know-the great apostle of prayer meet
ings, that day had given to him q 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 told Mr.. Lamphier that on
the sea he had dreamed of man with a
handful Of white flowers and was told
to follow him. Suffice it to say through
that interview and following interviews
he became 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 jrdg-
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. If
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 tt
God through dream of the last judg
| ment, and / doubt If there is man OF
woman in this house today that has moi
had some dream of that great day Of
Judgment which shall be the winding uI
Of the worlds history. II you have not
dreamed of it, perhaps tonight you may
dream of that day.
| There are enough materials to make q
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, foI
the stars shall go out. Enough popula-
tions, 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
see the ightnings from above answering
| the volcanic disturbances from beneath
and hear the long reverberating thun-
ders that shall wake up the dead, and on
one side / see the opening Of a gate into
scenes golden and amethystine, and Oh
the other side hear the changing bacl
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 Judgment" and crumbline
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 beer
sounded, an instrument Of music that
was made only for one sound, and thrust
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
quiver, crying. Come to judgment"
| Then from this earthly grossness quit.
