he got from Capt. Yount, in California,
fact confirmed by many families:
Capt Yount dreamed twice one night
that $50 miles away there was COM
pany of travellers fast in the snow. He
also saw in the dream rocks of pecu-
liar formation, and telling his dream to
an old hunter, the hunter said: "Why,
remember those rocks; those rocks are
in the Carson Valley pass, $50 miles
away" Capt Yount, impelled by this,
although laughed at by his neighbors,
gathered men together, took mules and
blankets. and started out on an eSpedi-
ton, travelled $50 miles, saw those very
rocks which he had described in his
dream, and finding the suffering ones
ut the foot of those rocks, brought
them back to confirm the story OF Capt.
Yount Who conducted that dream?
The God of the snow, the God OF the
Sierra Nevadas.
God has often appeared in dreams to
rescue and comfort You have known
people-perhaps it is something state
in your own experience-you have seen
people go to sleep with bereavements
inconsolable, and they awakened in
perfect resignation because of what
they had seen in slumber.
Furthermore, have to say that there
are people in this house who were con-
verified to God through a dream. Rev.
John Newton, the fame of whose piety
fills all Christendom. while a profligate
sailor on shipboard, in his dream,
thought that being approached him
and gave him q very beautiful ring, and
put it upon his finger, and said to him.:
LAS long as you wear that ring you will
be prospered; if you loose that ringyou
Will be ruined" In the same dream
another parsonage appeared, and by q
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 consuming wrath. While
John Newton was repenting of his
folly in having thrown overheard the
treasure, another parsonage came
through the dream and told John New
ton he would plunge into the sea and
bring the ring up if he desired it. He
plunged into the ca and brought it up
and said to John Newton: Here is a
gem. but think will keep it for you,
lest you lose it again." and John New
ton 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 persuaded him to throw it over.
board 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 Won
derful chapters in the life of that most
wonderful man.
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 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 meetings,
that day had given to him bunch OF
tube-roses They stood on his desk,
and Mt the close of the religious service
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 handful o.
white flowers and was told to follow
him. Suffice it to say, through that in
terview and following interviews, he
became Christian, and is city mis-
sionary preaching the gospel to his owl
countrymen. God in u dream.
Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted
to God through a dream of the las
Judgment, and doubt if there is n maj
or woman in this house to-day that ha!
not had some dream of that great da.
of Judgment which shall be the wind
ing up of the worlds history. If yol
have not dreamed of it, perhaps to
night you may dream of that day
There are enough materials to make {
