jasper I2r&pets You are very apt &c
hear in dreams what you hear when You
are wide awake.
Now, having shown you that having &
Bible we ought to be satisfied not get
ting any further communication from
God, and having shown you that all
dreams have an important mission, since
they show the comparative independence
of the soul from the body, and having
shown you that the majority of dreams
are a result of disturbed physical condi-
ton, and having shown you that our
sleeping thoughts are apt to be an echo
of our waking thoughts. [ come now to
my fifth and most important remark.
and that is to say that it is capable OF proof
that God does sometimes in our d.y, and
has often since the close of the Bible d.
pensation, appeared to people in dream.
THE PURE IN HEART DREAM AS THEY THU.
All dreams that make you better are
from God How do | know it? Is l.0t
God the source of all good? It does not
take a very logical mind to argue thai
out. Tertullian and Martin Luther GC-
Eeved in dreams The dreams of join
Huss are immortal. ST. Augustine. the
Christian father, gives us the fact that
Carthaginian physician was persuaded
of the Immortality Of the soul by an ar
gument which he heard in dream. The
night before his assassination the wife Of
Julius Caesar dreamed that her husband
fell dead across her lap. 1t is possibleto
prove that God does appear in dreams to
warn, to convert and to save men.
My friend, retired sea captain and Il
Christian, tells me that one night while
on the sea he dreamed that a ships crew
were in great suffering. Waking W
from his dream, he put about the ship,
tackled in different directions, surprised
everybody on the vessel-they thOVct->
he was going craZy-sailed on in anOt--->r
direction hour after hour and for many
hours until he came to the perishine5
crew and rescued them and brought
them to New York. Who conducted
that dream? The God of the sea.
La 1896 a vessel went out from STit-
head for the West Indies and ran agcI-.
the ledge of rocks called the Cashet.:.
The vessel went down, but the crc7T
clambered up on the Caskets to die OF
starvation, as they supposed. But there
was ship bound for Southampton. that

lad twice in one night dreamed TIL,

HELP SENT BY DREAMS.
God has often appeared in dreams 80
rescue and comfort. You have known
people-perhaps it is something l state
in your own experience-you have seen
people go to sleep with bereavements in

had seen in slumber. DR.. Crannage, one
