on shipboard in bis dIsam thought that
being approached him and gave him
a very besutiful ring and put it up
his finger and said 20 hin: ''AS lc1g
as you wear that rirg you will be pres
pered; if you lose that ring, you will be
ruined" In the same dream another
parsonage sppeared and by strange
infsrustion persuaded John Newton to
throw overheard that ring, and it sank
into the sea. Then the mountains in
sight we're full Of FIRE, and the air vas
luEid with consuming wrath. While
John Newton was repenting Of his folly
in having thrown overheard the treas

thas ring up if he dersired it. He
plunged into the sea and brought it up
and said.to john Newton, Here is that
gem, but I think l will keep it for sou,
lest you loss it sgsin." And John
Newton consented, and ell the FIRE went
out from the mountains. ana all the
signs Of lurid wrath disappeared from
the sir, and John Newton said that ie
saw in his dream that that Vaiusbie
gem vas his soul aud that tho beiog
who persuaded him to throw it over
ho.r3 was Satan and that the one who
plunged in and restored that gem,
keeping 1t for him, was Christ. ADd

to God through dream Of the last juag-
ment, and many of US have had soms
dream Of thst great day Of judgment
which shall be the winding up Of the
worlds history. Ii you have Lot
dreamed Of it, perhaps tonight you may
dream Of that day. Chaie are enough
materials to make . drean-enouga
voices, fo7 thers shsli be the roaring Of
the elements and the great earthquake;
enough ishE for the dream, for the
world shall blszs; enough excitement,
for the mountains shall fall; enough
water, for the ocean shall rear; enough
astronomical phenomena, for The stsrs
shall go out; enough populations, for
all the raoes Of all ages wilt fail into
line Of one Of two PROFESSIONS, the one
ascending and the other descending,
the one led by the rider on the white
horse Of eternal 7ictorg, the other LED
on by Apollyon on the black charger Of
eternal defeat. The dream comes On
me now, and I see the lightnings from
above answering the volcanic .0isturb
snoes from beneath, and near the long
rs7erberating thunders that shall wake
up the dead, and all the sssa, lifting up
their orysssl voices, cry, Come 10
Judgment and sill The voices Of the
heaven cry, come 10 Judgment and
crumb!ing mausoleuu and Westminster
abbeys and pyramids O. the dead With
marble voices cry, Come 10 juds

Instrument Of music winch hiss never
yet besn sounded, an instrument Of
music that was made only for one scsno,
and, thrusting that mighty tgunpst
through the clouds and turning it this
Wsy, he shall put it to his lip and blow
the long, loud blast shat shall make
the solid earth quiyer, crying, Como
10 judgmen;l'' ::
Then from this earthly grossress quit,
Attired il stars, We shall forever SIT.
