So vast is the subject of dreams of the past that one chapter may not suffice to exhaust it, and I will probably have tC revert to it once more. But today I will give YOU some important hints and information that will enable you to discover the mean ing of dreams of things long gone and almost forgotten.
 The most important in this class are dreams that deal with an event which, at the time of its occurrence, eXerted a deep influence upon you and your life. If you merely dream that you are being reminded of the happening, you will meet people who were present at the time, or with whom you associated in thoso days, and many tales will be told you Of what has happened since and there will be amazement in your heart at the great changes. which time has wrought
 Wondrous and awful are thy silent
 halls,
 kingdom of the past
 There lie the bygone ages in their
 pals,
 Guarded by shadows vast.
 According to the nature of this happening of long ago, you will re- joice that it has occurred, or be as fearful over it as you were when first it cast it's cloud over your life. Still, it will be merely a feast of "reminiscences.
 But if in your dream you seem to live through the event again, no matter what it was, and it seems as vivid as it was when it occurred, beware! Such vision indicates that another great event is about to trans pire in your life, different, Of course, in many details, but alike to the first in It's general outlines. If it was love adventure, another lies on your path and your feet will be caught in it's meshes. If it was a tragedy, an- other will occur. If deed of vio- lence, be prepared for another shock. Of course, the original event was one that brought joy to your heart, you may we'll be of good cheer, for more joy is waiting for you. But suppose it was something that made you sad or unhappy? Will it be pos- sible for you to turn aside the steps Of fate and escape the repetition? Probe your heart. Think over all the recent happenings. Try to fathom them as to their innermost meaning. Speculate whether. by any chance, they may hold the germ of the repe- tition of the event that once made you miserable-and then you will best be able to judge whether it lies i within your power to alter the course of events.
 And there is third class of these dreams: Dreams of a certain thing that happened in your childhood and appeared important to you at the time. Remember that
 "No past is dead for us, but only sleeping"
 and though thing may have hap pened when you were in short skirts. yet it is imprinted Cn the tablets of time and therefore indelibly written.
 And such a dream of childhood happening means that glad and
 sweet message will come to you | from or through someone you had | forgotten. It may be message | which will clear up much that was | in doubt. It may be a precious gift. It may be an inheritance. It may be | help when you need it mCst-and it | doesn't matter whether the child | hood dream is pleasant .or unpleas- ant-it is a splendid omen, for, Over the trackless past, somewhere, l Lie the lost days of our happy | youth,
 Only regained by faith and prayer, Only recalled by prayer and plaint; Each lost day has it's patron saint.
