these mountains belong TO your Father.

old me by some divine impulse he
went into hat destitute home, saw the
suffering there. and administered unto
it, caring for her all the way through.
Do you tell me that that dream was
woven out Of earthly anodynes? Was
that the phantasmagoria of a diseas
brain! No; ii was an all sympathetic
God addressing n poor woman through
a dream.
Furthermore, | have to say that there
are people who were converted to God
through a dream: The Rev. John New
ton, the fame of whose piety fills all
Christendom. while a profiigate sailor
on Shipboard, in his dream thought
that a being approached him and gave
him a very beautiful ring and put it
upon his finger and said to him: LAS
long as you wear that ring you will be
prospered. If you lose that ring, you
will be ruined" In the same dream
another parsonage appeared and by a
- LIZ pOA oCAAI
Newton to throw overheard that ring,
and it sank into the sea. Then the
mountains in sight were full of fire,
and the air was lurid with consuming
wrath. While John Newton was re-
penting of his folly in having thrown
overheard the treasure another person
age came through the dream and told
John Newton he would plunge into the
sea and bring that ring up if he desired
it. He plunged into the sea and brought
it up and said to John Newton, "Here
is that gem, but l think l will keep it
for you lest you lose it again." And
John Newton consented, and all the
fire went out from the mountains, and
all the signs of lurid wrath disappear
ed from the air, and John Newton said
that he saw in his dream that that val
liable gem was his soul and that the
being who persuaded him to throw it
overheard was Satan and that the one
who plunged in and restored that gem,
keeping it for him, was Christ. And
that dream makes one of the most won
derful chapters in the life of that most
wonderful man.

ocean, and in his dream he saw a man
with a 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 a bunch of tuberoses.
They stood on his desk, and at the
close of the religious services he took
the ~tuberoses and started homeward,
and the German followed hin and
through an interpreter told Mr.. Lam
phier that on the sea he had dreamed
of a man with a handful of white flow
ers and was told to follow him. Suf-
flee it to say that through that inter-
view and following interviews he be-
came a Christian and is a city mission

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 opportu-
nifty for repentance. He woke up a
different man. He became illustrious
for Christian attainment. If you do
not believe these things, then you must
discard all testimony and refuse to ac-
cept any kind of authoritative witness.
God in a 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 III Of
the worlds history. If you have not
dreamed of it, perhaps tonight o may
dream of that day. There are enough
materials to make a dream. Enough
voices, for there shall be the roaring
of the elements and the great earth
quake. Enough light for the dream,
for the world shall blaze. Enough ex-
element, for the mountains shall fall.
Enough water. for the ocean shall rear.
Enough astronomical phenomena, for
the stars shall go out. Enough popula-
tons, for all the races of all the ages
will fall into line of n of two pro-
ceSSiOnS, the one ascending and the
other descending. the one led on by the
rider on the white horse of eternal vic
tory, the other led on by Apollyon on
the black charger of eternal defeat.
The dream comes on me now, and l see
the lightniIfgs from above answering
the volcanic disturbances from be-
meath. and I 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-
mentr' and all the voices of the heaven
