um the (limin ls lifted luto great con-

spicolry. You may say of n dreamthat lt ls nocturnal fantasia, or thatlt ls the absurd combination of waking

:.:s, and with a slur of Intona¬tion you may say, "It ls only a

dream;'4 but ("od hns honored thedream by making lt thc avenue throughwhich nguiu and again he has marchedupou the human soul, decided the fateof mittons, ami changed the course ofthe woild's history. God nppeared Ina dream to Ahiinclcch. warning bim

against au unlawful marriage; In a

dream to Jacob, announcing, by theladder set against tbe sky full of an¬

gels, tbe communication between earthand heaven; in a drenm to Joseph,foretelling his coming power undertbe ligure of all the sheaves of thebarres! bowing down to his sheaf; to

the chief huller, foretelling his distill-

prlsonment; to the chief baker, an-

DOanrfOf his deenpltntlou; to Pharaoh,showing him tirst the seven plentyyears nnd then ihe seven faminestruck years, under the figure of theseven lenn cows devouring the seven

fat cows; to Solomon, giving him the

choice lat ween wisdom and riches andhonor; to a warrior, under the figureof a barley cake smiting down a tent,encouraging Cidcon in his battle

¦gains! the Xlidiaiutes; to Nebuchad¬nezzar, under the figure of a brokenImage tod a hewn down tree, foretell¬ing the overthrow of his power; to

Joseph, of the New Testament, an¬

nouncing the birth of Christ In his

own household, nnd again bidding bim

fly from llerodlc persecutions; to Pi¬late's wife, warning him not to becomecomplicated with tbe Judicial over¬

throw of Christ.We all admit tbat Cod In ancient

times nnd under Bible dispensation ad¬dressed the people through dreams.Tbe question now ls. does Cod appearin our day nnd reveal himself throughdreams? That ls the quest lou every¬body asks, aud that question i will

try to answer. You ask me If 1 be¬lieve in dreams. My answer 1b, I do,but all 1 have to say will be underfive heads.

nillir sj Sufficient Golda-.

Remark the First..TheSerlptures are

so full of revelation from Cod tbat Ifwe get no communication from him ladreams we ought, nevertheless, to besatisfied.With twenty guidebooks to tell you

how to get to New York or Pittsburgor Ixmdon or Clasgnw or Manchesterdo you want a night vision to tell youhow to make the Journey? We haveIn this Scripture full direction Id re¬

gard to the Journey of this life andhow to get to the celestial city, andwith this grand guidebook, this mag¬nificent directory, we ought to be satis¬fied. I have more faith In a decisionto which I come when 1 am wideawake than when I am sound asleep.I have noticed that those who give a

great deal of their time to studyingdreams get their brains addled. Theyare very anxious to remember whatthey dreamed nbout the first night theyslept In a new house, if In their dreamthey take the hand of a corpse, theynre going to die. If they dream of a

garden, lt means n sepulcher. If some¬

thing turns out according to a nightvision, they say, "Well, I am not sur¬

prised; 1 dreamed lt." If lt turns out'different fi om the night vision, they'say, "Well, dreams go hy contraries.4'In their efforts to put their dreams Into

rhythm tlicy put their waking thoughts)nto discord Now. the Bible ls so fullof revelation that we ought to be satis¬

fied If we get no further revelationSound sla ep received jrrcnt honor

when Adam slept so extraordinarilyj that the surgical incision which gaveoin. Bye did not wake him. bul there is.oo such iiaaai for extraordinary slum.ber now. and he wiw cati hes an Evemust needs be wide awake; No needof such a dream ns Jacob had. with a

ladder against the sky. when ten thou¬

sand times lt has been demonstratedthnt earth and heaven nre In communication. No muli dream needed as thatwhich was given to Abimelech, warn¬

ing him tfttlwH au uulawful marriage,when we him the records of the coun

ty clerk's oflice. No need of such a

dream as was giveu io Pharaoh aboutthe seven years of famine, for now theseasons mareil In regular processionand stearne! and rall train carry breadi-tuffs to every famine struck nation.No need of a dream like thnt whichencouraged Cidcon, for all throughChristendom lt is announced nud ac¬

knowledged and demonstrated that

righteousness sooner or Inter will gettbe victory

If tliere shi'tild come about a crisis in

your life upon which the Rlble doesnot seem to be suttlcieiitly specific, goto (iod In prayer, and you will get es¬

pecial direction. I have more faithninety-nine limes out of a bundred In

directions given yon with the Bible In

your Inp and your thoughts uplifted In

prayer to Cod than In nil tbe Informa¬tion you will get unconscious on yourpillow.

I cnn very easily understand why tbe

Babylonians nnd the Egyptians, withno Bible, should put bo much stress on

dretms, ant! the Chinese In their holybook, Chow King, should think theiremperor gets his directions throughdreams from Cod, nnd that Homershould think thnt nil dreams came from

Jove, and that In ancient times dreams

were classified into a science, but why-do you nnd 1 put so much stress upondreams when we have n supernal book

of Infinite wisdom on all subjects"Why should we harry ourselves with

dreams? Why should Eddystone andBarnegnt lighthouses question a sum

mer firefly?Proof of lamortaBlltr.

Remark the Second..All dreams havann Importnnt meaning. They provethat the soul ls comparatively inde¬pendent of the body. The eyes nro

closed, the senses arc dull, the entirebody goes Into a lethargy which in nillanguages ls used as a type of death,nnd then the soul spreads its wing nndnever sleeps. It leaps the Atlanticocenn and mingles In scenes 3.000 milesuwny. It travels great reaches of time,flashes back eighty years, and the oc¬

togenarian ls a boy again in his fa¬ther's house. If the soul before lt basentirely broken Its chain of flesh can

do all this, bow far can lt leap, whatcircles can lt cut when lt ls fully lib¬erated! Kvery dream, whether agree¬able or harassing, whether sunshiny or

tempestuous, means so much that, ris¬ing from your couch, you ought tokneel down and say: "O God. nm I im¬mortal? Whence? Whither? Two na¬

tures. My soul caged now.what whenthe door of the cage ls opened? If mysoul can fly uo far in the few hours Inwhich my body is asleep In the night,how far eau lt fly when my body sleepsthe long sleep of the grave?" Oh, thispower to dream, how startling, howoverwhelming! Immortal, Immortal!Remark theThlrd..The vast majority

of dreams are merely the result of dis¬turbed physical condition and are not a

supernatural message. Job had car¬

buncles and be was scared in tbenight Ile says, "Thou searest me

witb dreams and terrlfiest me witbvisions.'4 Solomon had an overwroughtbrain, overwrought with public busi¬ness, and he suffered from erraticslumber, nnd he writes In Ecclesiastes,,4A dream cometh through the multi¬tude of business." Dr. Gregory, In ex¬

perimenting with dreams, found that

a bottle of hot water put to his feet

while In sIuuiIkt made him think lie

was going np the hot sides of MountEtna. Another morbid physician, ex¬

perimenting with dreams, his feet un¬

covered through shep, thought he was

riding In an Alpine diligence. But a

great many dreams are merely nar¬

cotic disturbance Anything that yousee while under ihe Influence of chloralor brandy or hasheesh ur laudanumis not a revelation fruin Cod

The learned lt* i.*uiticcy did not

ascribe to divine (-i.iiiiiiiiiiii-.-itimi what

he saw In sl.-i p atp.um saturated,dreams which he afterward describedIn the following; voids: "I was wor

¦hiped, I was saci fifed. I tied from

the wrath of Brahma, through all theforests of Asia Vishnu hilled me.

Seeva laid in walt for me. I came

suddenly u|>ou Isis nnd Osiris. I had

done n deed, they said, that made the

crocodiles tremble. 1 was burled for

a thousnnd years in stone coffins, with

mummies nnd sphinxes In narrow

chambers at the heart of eternal pyra¬mids. I wns kissed with the can¬

cerous kiss of crocodiles and lay con¬

founded with unutterable slimy thingsamong wrenthy aud Nilotic mud."

Dyspeptic I hrlstlnnltjr.Do not mistake narcotic disturbance

for divine revelntlon. But 1 bave to

tell you that the majority of the dreumsare merely the penalty of outraged di¬

gestive organs, nnd you have no rightto mistake the nightmare for heavenlyrevelation. Late suppers are n war¬

ranty deed for bad dreams. Highlyspiced salads at ll o'clock at night, in¬stead of opening the door heavenward,open the door infernal and iiabolical.You outrage natural law, and you In¬sult the ('od who made those laws. Ittakes from three to five hours to di¬gest food, and you have no right to

keep your digestive organs In strugglewhen the rest of your body ls In som¬

nolence. The general rule is eat noth¬ing after 0 o'clock at night, retire at 10,sleep on your right side, keep the win¬dow open five Inches for ventilation,and other worlds will not disturb youmuch. By physical maltreatment youtake the ladder thnt Jacob saw In bisdream, and you lower lt to the netherworld, allowing the ascent of the de¬moniacal. Dreams are midnight dys¬pepsia. An unregulated desire forsomething to eat mined the race in

paradise, nnd nn unregulnted desirefor something to eat keeps lt ruined.The world during 0,000 years has triedIn vain to digest that first apple. Theworld will not lie evnugellzed until we

get rid of a dyspeptic Christianity.Healthy people do not want the cadav¬erous and sleepy thing that some peo¬ple call religion. They want a religionthnt lives regularly liy day and sleepssoundly by night, if through troubleor coming on of oin nge or exhaustionOf Christian service you cannot sleepwell, then you may expect from Cod

Mission pf Drannia,.

Another remark I make ls that our

dreams are npt to be merely the echoof our daytime thoughts. I will giveyou a recipe for plensnnt dreams. Fill

your days with elevated thought nndunselfish action nnd your dreams will

be set to music. If all dny yon are

gouging nnd grasping and avaricious,in your dreams you will see goldthnt you cannot clutch nnd bargainsIn which you were out Shylocked If

during the day you are Irascible and

pugnacious and gunpowdery of disposltion. you will at night have battlewith enemies In which they will getthe best of you. If you are all daylong in a hurry, at night you willdream of rail trains thnt you want to

catch while vou cannot move one Inchtoward the depot. If you are alwaysoversuspicious and expectant of as¬

sault, you will have at night hallu¬cinations of assassins with daggersdrawn. No one wonders that RichardIII., tbe Iniquitous, the night beforethe battle of Bosworth Field dreamedthat all those whom he had murderedstared at him and that he was torn

to pieces by demons from the pit. Thescholar's dream ls a philosophic echo.The poet's dream ls a rhythmic echo.Coleridge composed his "Kubla Khan"asleep in a narcotic dream and, wak¬

ing up, wrote down 300 lines of itTartlnla, the violin player, composedbis most wonderful sonata while asleepin a dream so vivid that, waking, b«

easily transferred it to paper.Waking thoughts have their echo lt

sleeping thoughts. If a man spend lils

life In trying to make others happjand is heavenly minded, around hit

pillow he will see cripples who hav«

.tot over their proton, and Droceaslojaa oj

celestial lmpef\a!8, and Lear the grandmarch roll down from drums of heav¬en over Jasper parapets. You are veryapt to bear In dreams what you hearwhen you are wide awake.Now. having shown you that, having

a Bible, we ouglrt to be satisfied "hotgetting any further communicationfrom God. aud having shown you thatall dreams hnve an important missionsince they show the comparative Inde¬pendence of the soul from the body,and having shown you that the major¬ity of dreams are a result of dis¬turbed physical condition, and havingshown you that our sleeping thoughtsare apt to tx- nn echo of our wakingthoughts, I come now to my fifth andmust Important remark, and that ls to

say that lt ls capable of proof thatGod does sometimes in our day andhas often since the close of the Bibledispensation appeared to people Indreams.

Warned by (jod.All dreams that make you better are

from God. How do I know lt? ls notGod tbe source of ali good? It doesnot take a very logical mind to arguethat out. Tertullian and Martin Lutherbelieved In dreams. The dreams ofJohn Hubs are Immortal. St Augus¬tine, tbe Christian father, gives us thefact thnt n Carthaginian physician was

persuaded of the Immortality of tbesoul liy an argument which he heardin a dream The night before his as¬

sassination the wife of Julius Cccsardreamed that her husband fell deadacross her lap.

It ls possible to prove that God doesappear In dreams to warn, to convertand to sn ve men. My fri nd, a retiredsea captain aud a Christian, tells me

that one night while on the sea hedreamed that a ship's crew were In

great suffering. Waking from hisdream, he put nbout the ship, tacked Indifferent directions, surprised every¬body on his vessel.they thought hewas going crazy.sailed on In anotherdirection hour after hour and for manyhours until he came to the perishingcrew and rescued them and broughtthem to New York. Who conductedthnt drenm? The Cod of the sea.In 1005 a vessel went from Splthead

for the West Indies and ran on theledge of rocks called the Caskets. Thevessel went down, but the crew clambered up on the Caskets, to die of thirstor starvation, as they supposed. Butthere was a ship bound for Southamp¬ton that had tlie captain's son on board.This lad twice In one night dreamedthat there was a crew of sailors dyingon the Caskets. He told lils father ofthis dream. The vessel came down bythe Caskets in time to find and to res¬

cue those poor dying men. Who con¬

ducted that dream? The God of therocks, the God of tbe sea.

A Remarkable Dream.

The Rev. Dr. Bushnell In his marvel¬ous book entitled "Nature and tbe Su¬

pernatural" gives the following factthat he got from Captain Yount In Cal¬ifornia, a fact confirmed by many fam¬ilies: Captain Yount dreamed twice one

night that 150 miles away there was a

company of travelers fast In the snow.

He also snw In the dream rocks of pe¬culiar formation, and.telling this dreamto an old hunter, the hunter said:"Why, I remember those rocks. Those

rocks are in the Carson valley pass. 150miles away." Captain Yount. Impelledby this dream, although laughed at bybis neighbors, gathered men together,took mules nnd blankets nnd startedout on the expedition, traveled 150mlh'S. snw those very rocks which hehad described In his dream, found thesuffering ones nt the foot of those rocksand brought them back to confirmthe story of Captain Yount. Who con¬

ducted thnt dream? The (Jod of thesnow, the Cod of the Sierrn Nevadas.God has often nppenred In resource

nnd comfort. You hnve known peo¬ple.perliaps it ls something I stateIn your experience.you have seen peo¬

ple go to sleep with bereavements Inconsolable, and they awakeued In perfeet resignation because of what theybad seen In sluuilier. Dr. Cranage, one

of the most remarkable men 1 ever

met.remarkable for benevolence and

great philanthropies.at Wellington,Eugland. showed me a house wherethe Lord had nppenred In a wonderfuldream to a poor woman. The woman

was rheumatic, sick, poor to the last

point of destitution. She was waitedon and cared for by another poorwoman, ber only attendant. Wordcame to her one day that this poorwoman had died, and tlie invalid ofwhom I nm speaking lay helpless up¬on the couch, wondering what wouldbecome of lier. In that mood she fell

asleep, in her dreams she said the

angel of the Lord appeared and tookher into the open air and pointed in

one direction, and there were moun¬

tains of bread, and pointed in anotherdirection, and there were mountains olbutter, and pointed In another direc-

.ou, stid there were mountains of allkinds oi^r-.- ...mly. The angel ofthe Lord said to her: v**r,-;nn, al!these mountains belong to your Fatde-and do you think he will let you, hieehlld, hunger and die?" Dr. Cranagetold me by some divine Impulse ht

went Into that destitute home, saw thesuffering there, and administered untc

lt caring for her all the way throughDo you tell nie that that dream wai

woven out of earthly anodynes? Waithat the phantasmagoria of a diseasecbrain? No; lt was an all sympathethGod addressing a poor woman tbrougta dream.Furthermore, I have to say that then

are people who were converted to Go<through a dream. The Rev. John Newton, the fume of whose piety fills alChristendom, while a profligate Bailoion shipboard, in his dream thoughthat a being approached him and gavihim a very beautiful ring and put I

upon his finger and said to him: "Ai

long as you wear that ring you will bi

prospered. If you lose that ring, yoiwill be ruined." In the same dreananc'.oer personage appeared and bystrange Infatuation persuaded JohtNewton to throw overboard that ringand it sank into tbe sea. Then tbmountains In sight were full of finaud the air was lurid with eonsumln;wrath. While John Newton was re

Denting of his folly in having throw;overboard the treasure another personago came through the dream and tolJohn Newton he would plunge Into thsea and bring that ring up If he desireit. He plunged Into the sea and broughit up and said to John Newton, "Herls that gem, but I think I will keep !

for you lest you lose lt again.4' AnJobn Newton consented, and all tb

tire went out from tbe mountains, andall the signs of lurid wrath disappear¬ed from the air. and John Newton saidthat lie saw In his dream that that val¬uable gem wus lils soul nnd that thebeing who persuaded him to throw ltoverboard wns Altai and thnt the one

who plunged in and restored that gem,keeping lt for him. wus Christ. Andthat dream makes one of the most won¬

derful chapters In the life of tha* mostwonderful man.

Cine to Juil(tni«-nt.A German was crossing the Atlantic

ocean, nnd in his dream lie snw n man

with n handful of white flowers, andhe was told to follow the man who badthat handful of white flowers. TheGerman, arriving In New York, wan¬

dered Into tlie Fulton street prayermeeting, and Mr. Laniphler, the greatapostle of prayer meetings, that dayhad given to him a bundi of tuberoses.They stood on his desk, and at theclose of the religious services be tookthe tuberoses and stnrted homeward,and the German followed him andthrough an Interpreter told Mr. Lam-phler that on the sea he hnd dreamedof a mnn with a handful of white flow¬ers and was told to follow him. Suf¬fice it to sny thnt through tbat Inter¬view and following interviews he be¬came a Christian and ts a city mission¬ary, preaching the gospel to his own

countrymen. God In a dream!John Hardonk, while on shlpborrd,

dreamed one night that the dny ofJudgment lind come nnd that the rollof the ship's crew was cnlied excepthis own name nnd that these people,this crew, were all banished, and Inhis dream he asked the reader why hisown name wns omitted, nnd he was

told lt wns to give him more opportu¬nity for repentance. He woke up a

different mnn. He became illustriousfor Christian attainment. If you donot believe these things, then you mustdiscnrd all testimony nnd refuse to ac¬

cept any kind of authoritative witness.God in a dream!Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted

Judgment, and many of us have hadsome dream of that great day of Judg¬ment which shall be the winding up ofthe world's history. If you have notdreamed of lt. perhaps tonight you maydream of that day. There are enoughmaterials to make a dream. Enoughvoices, for there shall be the roaringof the elements aud the great earth¬

quake. Enough light for the dream,for the world shall blaze. Enough ex¬

citement, for the mountains shall fall.Enough water, for the ocean shall rear.

Enough astronomical phenomena, forthe stars shall go out. Enough popula¬tions, for all the races of all the ageswill fall Into line of one of two pro¬cessions, the one ascending and theother descending, the one led on by tberider on the white horse of eternal vic¬tory, tlie other led on by Apollyon on

the black charger of eternal defeatThe dream comes on me now. mid I see

the lightning! from above answeringthe volcanic disturbances from be¬neath, and I hcnr tlie long reverberat¬ing thunders that shall wake up thedead, aud all ti.e seas, lifting up theircrystal voices, cry. "Come to Judg¬ment" and all the voices of the beaven

cry, "Come to Judgment!" and crum¬

bling mausoleum and Westminster ab¬beys and pyramids of the dead withmarble voices cry, "Come to Judg¬ment!" And the archangel seizes an in¬strument of music which has never yetbeen sounded, an instrument of musicthnt wns mnde only for one sound,aud. thrusting that mighty trumpetthrough the clouds and turning lt thisway, he shall put lt to his lips and blowtbe long, loud blast thnt shall makethe solid earth quiver, crying, "Cometo judgmeut!"

Then from thli csrthljr gronntM quit.Attired in jurs, we shall forever sit.

What Cornea Aftee Suicide*On the whole, it ls something of a

pity that some of these fellows who cu*their throats, blow out their brains or

swallow poisons in order to rid them¬selves of their troubles cannot come

back, so they might tell others who are

troubled whether relief lies in that di¬rection or not. It is more than proba¬ble that what they then could tellwould deter other reckless men andwomen from following in their foot¬steps, and for that if for no other rea¬

son, their return would be welcome.As Hamlet Implied, it ls better to bearthe Ills we know dan to fly to thosewe know not of, and there Isn't muchdoubt that the suicides are not long Infinding that out.Philadelphia Inquir¬er.

The Peach Legend.Almost all fruits and flowers have

their legend. One about the peachcomes from Japau and tells how a poor, ¦

pious old couple were searching forfood by the roadside. The woman

found a peach, which she would noteat of, though starving, till she couldshare lt with her husband. He cut ltexactly lu half, when an infant leapedforth. It was one of the gods, who had,he said, accidentally fallen out of thepeach orchard of heaven while playing.He told them to piant the stone of the

j peach, and lt brought them happiness,friends and wealth.
