suaded John Newton to throw that ring
overheard, and it sank into the sea. Then
Tue mountains in sight were full OF fire.
and the air was lurid with consuming
wrath. While John Newton was repenting
Oh MS folly in having thrown overheard the
trelsure, another parsonage came through
the dream and told John Newton he would
plunge into the sea and bring the ring up II
he desired il.
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 con-
sented, 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 valu-
able gem was his soul, and that the being
who persuaded him to throw it overheard
was Satan, and that the one VINO 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 MIR. Lamphier-whom
many OF you know-the great apostle OF
prayer meetings. that day had given to him
bunch OF tu5eroseS.
They stool on his desk, and at the c,ose
of the religious services be took the tuoe-
roses and started homewari, and the Ger
man followed him, and through an inter
prefer told Mr. Lamphier that on the sea he
| had dreamed OK man with handful or
white flowers and was told to follow him.
Suffice it to say, through that interview and
following interviews he became Christian
and is city missionary preaching the GoSpel
to his own countrymen. Col in dream!

reader why bis own name was omitted, ana
he was told it was 10 give him more oppor-
tupity for repentance. He woke up diff

Christian attainment IL you do not believe
these things, then you must discard all tes-
timony and refuse to accept any kind OF au-
thoritative witness. Colin DREAM
