AN give a clearer Interpretation than l.
Having been taken very iii in win
er, and as this was my second attack.
I'll my friends and associate physicians
laid l was at deaths door and 1t was
lot possible for me to recover. 1t
meant but a few hours, or days at the
nost-I was unconscious at times.
But through 1t all the idea was firmly
footed In my mind that there is more
lie for me, and cannot, l will not CO."
There followed four days of com-
,lete darkness, and when a little nat
lral sleep came it was accompanied
zach night for three weeks by a dream
81 my encounter with some vicious
misunderstanding with a bull, then a
boar, and next a large mastiff. This
order never varied. When the bull
'ame toward me | easily and quickly
Vaulted the fence as he pinned 1t be-
DIV me. In my encounter with the
boar l grabbed him by the throat and
.hrew him on his back, thus getting
'afely away. Next morning the biceps
md supinators of my arm were so sore
hat they had to be rubbed.) Next the
nastiff approached. l quickly grasped
aim by the larnyx till I could get hold
u his tongue. This grip seemed to
ifect the muscles of my wrist and
land alone, which were just as sore
md stiff as formerly.
After the expiration Of three weeks
I had no dreams whatever for a few
nights. When they returned | became
more and more worried, until, after
The last one, something said to me
nftao ovtao vbtao vbta vbta ~vabgaowy
This is good, not evil; you are surely
a conqueror." However, not much
physical improvement was visible.
In the next dream l saw a blue and
white light growing into a crown, in
which the word Power" in bright let
tiers was inclosed. This seemed to give
me hope, also strength and courage,
and l felt somewhat better.
Three nights later I dreamed of being
on the lake of Galilee, in the boat with
Christ and his disciples; and such a
picture as lay before me is hard to de-
scribe. The disciples seemed agitated,
the sea was rough and the boat frail;
yet l was calm. The disciples looked at
me. then at the sleeping Christ, but did
not speak. I was half reclining, but
why so calm l know not. Presently
the spokesman Of the group arose and
whispered to the rest, and as they got
up he touched Christ and said: MAS
ter, carest Thou not that we perish?"
Christ's face as He arose and rebuked
them wore an expression of mingled
g%entleness, sternness and pity. | was
thrilled as He held out His hand with
a graceful movement and said: Peace;
be still" Then came a remarkable
calm-a beautiful sunset on a sea of
glass.
| awoke feeling much better and
with strong hope. My improvement
was very noticeable from this time for
ward. Then came a lull, which was fol-
lowed by dreams of a different char
acter for another period of three
weeks. / heard glorious music by a
%full-voiced choir, commencing regular
ly at sunset and continuing until | vas
sCothed to sleep. ! felt more vigorous
after this experience. Then for the
next three weeks / saw only a beauti-
full blue and white light, Just as / fell
asleep.
AS l went about, obliged to mingle
in the affairs Of daily life, l had no
dreams for quite awhile, being some
what worried by business and other
cares. Finally my will again asserted
itself. Then began, lasting for three
weeks, a series of wonderful texts and
sayings, which were given to me by
q voice sufficiently audible to arouse
me in the morning. They would fire.
quently ring in my ear all day. They
seemed to give me power over myself
and others. Then ! began to get mes
sages and Impressions from friends at
q distance.
Lastly. approaching my Office one
morning after leaving the car,
seemed overwhelmed by a condition in
which l was very happy and uncon-
scious Of my surroundings. When
reached the office ! felt a desire to be
alone for a few minutes. / sat down
and my eyes closed, when I saw a beau
tifui large star. and while I was look
ing at 1t q voice said audibly sever
times: LET the light Of life shine
forth In you"
Next morning the same condition
came at precisely the same place and
lasted until the Office was reached.
| This time l saw a beautiful noon and
heard q voice speak the words seven
times: This light Of life, 80 free, Is
yours" The moon disappeared, as the
star had done, after the seventh time.
I felt very sleepy and dozed for about
three minutes.
II would seem that in these occur
enc the regularity of the appear
ances and OF the number of times In
each case Is worthy of note.
