through dream. The Rev. John New
ton, the fame of whose plety fills all
Christendom, while n proiiigate sailor
on Sbibboard In his dream thought that
n being approached him and gave him
very beautiful ring and put II upon
his finger and said to him: AS long MS
you wear that ring you Will be pros
perod if you lose that right, you Will
be ruined" In the same dream an
other parsonage appeared and by n
strange nSatuation persuaded John
Newton 10 throw overheard that ring,
and it sank into the sea, Then the
mountains IN sight were fun If fire,
and the air was mrid with consuming
wrath While John Newton VAS ro-
popting ot hla folly OF having thrown

John Newton he would plunge into the
sea and bring that ring up II ho de-

and all the lire went cut from the
mountains. and all the signs OF lurid
wrath disappeared from the air. and
John Newton said that he saw in his
dream that that valuable gem was
his soul and that the being who per-
suaded him To throw IL overheard was
Satan and that the one who plunged
in and restored that gem. keeping it

makes one of the most wonderful chap

man.
A German was crossing the Atlantic
ocean, and in his dream he saw a man
with handful of white flowers, and he
was told to follow the man who had
that handful of white flowers. The
German, arriving in New York, wan
dered into the Fulton street prayer
meeting, and Mr.. Lamphier, the great
apostle of prayer meetings, that day
had given to him bunch of tube
roses. They stood on his desk, and at
the close of the religious service he
took the tuberoses and started home
ward, and the German followed him,
and through an interpreter told Mr..
Lamphier that on the sea he had
dreamed of a man with a handful of
white flowers and was told to follow
him. Suffice it TO say that through
that interview and following inter-

DREAM
John Hardonk while on shipboard
dreamed one night that the day of
Judgment had come and that the roll
of the ships crew was called except
his own name, and that these people,
this crew, were all banished, and in
his dream he asked the reader why
his own name was omitted, and he was
told it was to give him more oppor-

different man. He became illustrious
not believe these things, then you
must discard all testimony and refuse
to accept any kind of authoritative
witness. God in dream!
Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted
to God through 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 not
dreamed of it, perhaps tonight you
may dream of that day. There are
enough materials to make dream
enough voices, for there shall be the
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
professions, 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 Apollyon
on the black charger of eternal defeat
The dream comes on me now, and |
see the lightnings from above answer
ing the volcanic disturbances from be-
meath, and | hear the long reverberat-
ing thunders that shall wake up the
dead, and all the seas, lifting up their
crystal voices, cry, Come to judg-
ment!" and all the voices of heaven
cry, Come 10 Judgment" and
crumbling mausoleum and West
minister abbeys and pyramids of
the dead with marble voices cry, Come
to Judgment And the archangel
seizes an instrument of music which
has never yet been sounded-an instru-
ment Of music that was made only for
one sound, and, thrusting that mighty
trumpet through the clouds and turn
ing it this way. he shall put it to his
lip and blow the long. loud blast that
shall make the solid earth culver. cry
ing. Come to Judgment"
