SAW CHRIST IN 4 DREAM.
COlored Folk In Brooklyn Stirred Up by the
Rev. DR.. BrOoks's Vision.


The negro colony Of Brooklyn is much
excited over the dream Of the Rev. DR..
NJ. c. Brooks, pastor Of the Bridge Street
African Methodist Episcopal Church, in
duced, as the pastor says, by his deep study
on a religious subject prior to his retiring
at ? o'clock Sunday morning. The pas or
declares that Christ appeared TO him and
urged him on to greater efforts.
Next Sunday Dr.. Brooks is TO preach on
Christ as a Preacher, and in view Of his
dream the oolored folk Of Brooklyn are ex-
pecting something supernatural. DR..
Brooks is convinced that a wonderful thing
has happened to him.
To reporter who called at his home,
1872 Duffield street last evening, DR.. Brooks
said that he was not at all superstiuous,
as were most of the members OF his congre-
CATION about the vision, and that he con-
sidered it merely "one Of those psychological
occurrences in a mans life

II was at the church services Sunday
night in oonnec Ct ion with his announce ment
that next Sunday he would preach on
Christ as a Preacher that DR.. Brooks
told Of his vision. The officers ofthe church
got together and held a grave council TO
determine II possible the significance Of
the dream. One Of them didn't believe II

first sighted near Heligoland from an
English yacht, and large killer-whale
(grampus) was in full pursuit. With
the idea OF getting out Of the water
somehow or other the seal made for a
passing steamer, but the killer-whale
headed Il off. 1t then made for the
yacht. AS 1t came alongside, practi
cally exhausted, the crew slipped q

II on board. The owner OF the yacht
