 It is possible to prove that God does appear in dreams to 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 a ships crew were in great suffering. Waking from his dream, he put about the ship, tackled in different directions, surprised everybody on his vessel-they thought he was going craZy-sailed on in aIi- other direction hour after hour and for many hours until he came to the perishing crew and rescued them and brought them to New York. Who con- ducted that dream? The God of the sea.
 Rev. Dr. Bushnell in his marvellous book entitled "Nature and the Super natural" gives the following fact that lie got from Capt. Yount in California, fact confirmed by many families: Capt. Yount dreamed twice one night that 15O miles away there was a com pany of travellers fast in the snow. He also saw in the dream rocks of pe- culiar formation, and, telling this dream to an old hunter, the hunter said: "Why, I remember those rocks. Those rocks are in the Carson valley pass, 150 miles away" Capt. Yount, impelled by this dream, although laughed at by his neighbors, gathered men together, took mules and blankets and started out on the expedition, travelled 150 miles, saw those very rocks which he had described in his dream, found the suffering ones at the foot of those rocks and brought them back to confirm the story of Capt. Yount. Who conducted that dream? The God of the snow, the God of the Sierra Nevadas.
 God has often appeared in resource and comfort. You have known people perhaps it is some thing I state in your own Xperence-you have seen people go to sleep with bereavements | inconsolable, and they awakened in | perfect resignation because of what 1 they had seen in slumber.

 house where the Lord had appeared in wonderful dream to poor wom- an. The woman was rheumatic, sick, poor to the last point of destitlItion. She was waited on and cared for by another poor woman, her only attend ant Word came to her one day that this poor woman had died, and the in- valid of whom 1 am speaking lay help less 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 moun- tains of bread, and pointed in another direction, and there were mountains of butter, and pointed in another di- rection, and there were mountains of all kinds of worldly supply. The an- gel of the Lord said to her: 'Woman, all these mountains belong to your Father, and do you think He will let you, His child, hunger and die?" pr. Grange told me by some Divine im- pulse he went into that destitute home, saw the suffering there and ad- luluISlcItu uHlO u, caring TUT H6I dlA the way through. Do you tell me that that dream was woven out of earthly anodynes? Was that the phantas- magoria of a diseased brain? No. It was an all sympathetic God addressing a poor woman through dream.
 Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted to God through a dream of the last judgment, and many of us have had some dream of that great day of judg- ment which shall be the winding up of the worlds history. If you have you may dream of that day. There are enough materials to make dream enough voices, for there shall be the roaring of the elements and the great earthquake; enough light for the dream, for the world shall blaze; enough excitement, for the mountains shall fall; enough water. for the ocean shall rear; enough astronomical phe- nomena, for the stars shall go out: enough populations, for all the races of all ages will fall into line of one of two processions, the one ascending and the other descending, the one led by the rider on the white horse of eternal victory, the other led on by Apolyon on the black charger of eternal defeat. The dream comes on me now, and I see the lightnings from above answering the volcanic disturb ances from beneath. and 1 hear the long reverberating thunders that shall wake up the dead, and all the seas. lifting up their crystal voices, cry: .sCome to judgment!' and all the voices of the heaven cry: 'Come to
