'sThere is no accounting for these
Dreams" said the president, after the
subject had been discussed by the
members, ''but I think we need Jo-
seph to interpret them. Because
they are dreams we refuse to believe
in them, but I am satisfied that mes
sages are conveyed to US in this way
by some weak or half-developed psy
Geological power, that needs to be
met and sustained by strong earthly
intelligence. Let me add my contri-
button to our stock of dreams. My
mother was nearly 80 years Of age and
I was much concerned about her
health, which was in q failing state.
At this time I had a series Of remark
able dreams. The disbelever in.
dreams will say that it was my natur-
al anxiety that my sleeping visions
were of this peculiar cast. [ am GER
tain, to the contrary, that the dreams
were sent to prepare me forthe events
which followed. I first dreamed Of
seeing long rays of tinted, rosy light
in the sky. The rosy light is always
the precursor Of a death in my family.
Through this path there came sweep
ing down the sky chariot drawn by
four white horses with white trap
pings. The driver was dressed in
white livery, and two soldiers in white
uniforms sat in the hack of the char
lot. They wore shining white epau-
lettes, and as the carriage swept down
and stopped at my side, they stepped
out and stood at attention On either
side. There seemed to be some one
with me, in my DEAN, and then I ask
ed:
"What does this mean? Is it for
me they have come ?"
"'No, not for you this time, and
I then awakened, and that night l
was sent for to see my mother die.
There was in that dream the usual in
congruities Of dreams. The heads Of
the horses resembled deers', and [ re-
membered asking myself if the horses
of heaven had heads like those. But
Of their whiGeness and splendor [ can
give you no idea, and the path through
which they came was like gorgeous
sunset.
'My next dream was that of finding
a round stone on a rough road. 1t
lay in wagon track and was broken
in two parts. When I picked it up
it fell open in my hand and a beauti-
full butterfly came out Of it. That
was all but I heard on the next day
of the unexpected death of my o. '
brother. The impression Of the dream
is Just what the reality would have
been to have found a full-Aedged but
terAy in the heart of a stone. That it
was message of resurrection, seems
impossible to doubt"
Mr.. K, who has recently joined
the club, related peculiar dream that
happened to him:
II was summoned to attend law
case in one of our adjoining towns
and concluded, as the case was not
finished, to stay all night, telegraph
ing home to that effect. | had no
anxiety, but being rather fatigued, I
retired early, and at once fell asleep
and began to dream. could see
long country road and a young girl,
whom 1 recognized as my daughter
Nellie, walking along with her back
to me. She was dressed in white, and
I was much surprised at her appear
ance and her presence there, and call
ed loudly after her: Nellie, come
back so that I was awakened by my
own emotions. You all know that
she died from the effects of burning
which happened on that very night,
and I had just dressed myself to 60
