Christian father, giyesus the fact that a
Carthaginian physician was persuaded
of the Immortality Of the soul by an az
gument which he heard IL a dream The
night before his assassination the wife Of
julius Caesar dreamed that her h..sbard
fell dead across her lap. 1t is possibleto
prove that God does appear in dreams tc
warn, to convert and to save men.
My friend, retired sea captain and a
Christian. tells me that one night while
on the sea he dreamed that ships crew
were in great suffering. Waking Up
from his dream, he put about the ship,
tackled in different directions, surprised
everybody on the vessel-they thought
he was going crazy-sailed on IN another
direction hour after hour, and for man5
hours until he came to the perishin:
crew and rescued them and brought
them to New York. Who conducted
that dreamo The God of the sea.
In 1895 vessel went out from Spit
head for the West Indies and IAN against
the ledge of rocks called the Caskets.
The vessel went down, but the crew
clambered rp on the Caskets 10 die Of
starvation, as they supposed. But there
was ship bound for southampton that
had the captains son on board. This
lad twice il ore night dreamed that
there was crew of sailors dying on the
Caskets He told his father of his dream.
The vessel came down by the Cashets in
time to find and to rescue those pocl
dying men. Who conducted that drea;l:
The God of the rocks, the God of the sea.
