confirmed by many families: Captain
Yount dreamed twice one night that $50
miles away there was a company Of travel
ers fast in the snow. He also saw in the
dream rocks Of peculiar formation, and tell
ing his dream to an old hunter the hunter
said: "Why, remember those rocks. Those
rocks are in the Carson Valley pass 150
miles away"
Captain Yount, impelled by this dream,
although laughed at by his neighbors, gath
cred men together, took mules and blan-
kets, and started out on the expedition,
Travelled 80 miles, saw those very rocks
which he had described in his dream, and
finding the suffering ones at the foot of
those rocks brought them back TO confirm

God has often appeared in dreams to res
cue and comfort. You have known peoDle
perhaps it is something state in your
own experience-you have seen people 60
to sleep with bereavements inconsolable,
and they awakened in perfect resignation
because of what they had seen In slumber.
DIR. Crannage, one Of the most remarkable
men / ever met-remarkable for benevo-
lence and great philanthropies- Yelling
ton. England, showed me house where
the Lord had appeared In a wonderful
dream to poor woman. The woman was
rheumatic, sick, poor to the last point Of
destitution. She was waited on and cared
for by another poor woman, her only at
tendant.
Word came to her one day that this poor
woman had died, and the invalid Of whom
am speaking lay helpless upon the couch
wondering what would become Of her. In
that mood she fell asleep. In her dreams
she said the angel of the Lord appeared and
took her into the open air and pointed in
one direction, and there were mountains of
bread, and pointed in another direction, and
there were mountains of butter, and in an
other direction, and there were mountains
of all kinds OF worldly supply. The angel
of the Lord said to her, woman, all these
mountains belong to your Father, and do
you think that he will let you, his child,
hunger and die?"
DR.. Crannage told me that by some di-
vine impulse he went into that destitute
home saw the suffering there and admin
istered unto it, caring for her all the way
through. Do you tell me that that dream
was woven out of earthly anodynes! Was
that the phantasmagoria of a diseased
braip' No, it was an all sympathetic God
addressing poor woman through dream.
THE DREAM OF JOHN NEWTON.
Furthermore, have to say that thel.
are people in this house who were convert
ed to God through dream. The Rev.
John Newton, the fame of whose piety
fills all Christendon, while profigate sail
or 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, LAS 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 ap-
peared, and by strange infatuation per
suaded 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 treas
ure another parsonage came through the
dream and told John Newton he would
plunge into the sea and bring the ring W
J if he desired it.
He plunged into the sea and brought il
up and said to John Newton, Here is that
gem, but think 1 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 wratf
disappeared from the air, and John Newtor
said that he saw in his dream that that val
liable gem was his soul, and that the being
| ybNv a1 IN orf
: was satan, and that the one who plunged
in and restored that gem, keeping it fo
him, was Christ, and that dream make
one of the most wonderful chapters in tn,
life of that most wonderful man.
A German was crossing the Atlantic
ocean, and in his dream he saw man witt
handful of white flowers, and he was tolt
to follow the man who had that handful o
white flowers. The German, arriving il
New York, wandered into the Fulton stree
prayer meeting, and Mr.. Lamphier-whon
many of you know-the great apostle o
: prayer meetings, that day had given to hin
bunch of tuberoses. They stood ON hi
desk, and at the close of the religious serv
ices he took the tuberoses and started home
ward, and the German followed him, an,
through an interpreter told Mr.. Lamphie
, that on the sea he had dreamed of a maj
with handful of white flowers and was toll
5 to follow him. Suffice it to say, throug
that interview and following interviews b
became Christian and is city missionar

John Hardock while on shipboar
