Uemsirk the First.- TlieSeriptnr**s are
so full of revelation from God tluit if
we get no eoiuiimnieatioti from Idm in
I'cims we ought, nevertheless, lo In
satisfied
With twenty guidebooks to tell you
tiow to get to New York or Pittsburg
»r London or Glasgow or Manchester
do von want a night vision to tell you
bow to make the journey? We have
m this Scripture lull direction in re
gard to the journey of this life amt
•iow to get to the celestial city, and
witli tliis grand guidebook, this mag
nitieeut directory, we ought to lie satis
tbal I have more faith in a decision
•o which I come when I am wide
awake than when I am sound asleep
I have noticed that those who give a
great deal of their time to studying
dreams get their brains addled. They
ire very anxious to remember what
they dreamed about the tirst uiglii the\
sit pt in a new house if in their dream
they lake the hand of a corpse. the.\
are going te die If they dream of a
garden, it means a sepulcher. If sonic
.lung turns out ueeoidiug to a night
' Ision. they saw "Well. 1 am not stir
prised: I dreamed it" If it turns out
different from the night vision, they
say "Well, dreams go by contraries."
in Ihclr efforts to put their dreams into
' tivtlim they put their waking thoughts
•nio discord Now. the Bible is so fu^l
of revelation that we ought to la* satis
tied if we get no further revelation
Sound sleep received great liouoi
when Adam slept so extraordinarily
that the surgical Incision which gave
him Kve did not wake him. hut there is
tit) such need for extraordinary slum
iter now. and he who catches an Kve
must needs be wide awake! No need
of such a dream as Jacob had. with a
ladder against the sky. when ten thou
sand times it has been demonstrated
that earth and heaven are in coiutnnnl
cation. No such dream uteded ns tluit
which was given to Ahimelecb. warn

when we have the records of the coun
ty clerk's office No need of such a
dream as was given lo Pharaoh about
the seven years of famine, for now the
seasons march in regulai procession
and steamer anti rail tram carry bread
stuffs to every famine struck nation
No need of a dream like that which
encouraged Gideon for all through
Christendom It Is announced and nc
kliowledged and demonstrated thi;;
righteousness sootier or later will get
tin* victory.
If there sic ttld enrne about a crisis In

I can verv easily understand why the
Hnhytmlans and the Kgyptiaiis. with
no Bible, should put so much stress on
dreams, and the Chin -s in their holy
book. Chon K:;ig. should tkink their

Why should wo hairy ■ urselves with

Jtainegil lighthouses question a sum
mer firefly?
I'roof of Immortality.
Remark the Second.--All dreams have i
an important meaning. They prove '
that tin* soul is comparatively inde
pendent of the body. The eyes are
Closed, the senses are dull, the entire
body goes into a lethargy which in all
languages is used .as a type of death,
and then the soul spreads its wing and
never sleeps. It !'>nps the Atlantic
ocean and mingles in scenes .'i.OOo miles
away. Ii travels great reaches of time,
flashes back eighty years, and the oc
togenarian is a boy again in his fa
ther's house. If the soul before it has
entirely broken its chain of flesh can
do all this, how far can it leap, what
elrel s can it cut when it is fully lib
orated! Kvery dream, whether agree
able or harassing, whether sunshiny or
tempestuous, means so much that, ris
Ing from your couch, you ought to
kneel down and say: "O God. am I im
mortal? Whence? Whither? Two na
tures. My soul caged now—whet when
the door of the cage is ( pened? if my
soul can tty so far In tlie few hours in
which my body is asleep In the night,
how far can it fly when my body sleeps
the long sleep of the grave?” Oh. this
power to dream, how startling, how
overwhelming! Immortal, immortal!
Remark theThird.—The vast majority
of dreams are merely tlie result of dis
turbed physical condition and are not a
supernatural message. Job laid car
buncles and he was scared in the
night. He says. "Thou searest me
with dreams and terrifiest me with
visions.” Solomon had an overwrought
brain, overwrought with public busi
ness, and lie suffered from erratic
slumber, and he writes in Kcelesiastes.
"A dream cometh through tlie multi
tude of business." Dr Gregory, iu ex
perimenting with dreams, found that
a bottle of hot water put to his feet
while in slumber made him think he
was going up the hot sides of Mount
Etna. Another morbid physician, ex
perimenting with dreams, his feet un
covered through sleep, thought he wah
riding in an Alpine diligence. But a
great many dreams are merely nar
cotic disturbance Anything that you
see while under tlie influence of chloral
or brandy or hasheesh or laudanum
is not a revelation from God.
Tlie learned De Quinccy did not
ascribe to divine communication what
he saw in sleep, opium saturated,
dreams which he afterward described
in the following words: "I was wor
shiped. I was sacrificed, I fled from
the wrath of Brahma, through ali tin
forests of Asia Vishnu hated me.
Seeva laid in wait for me. I came
suddenly upon Dis and Osiris. I had
done a deed, they said, that made the
crocodiles trembie. 1 was buried for
a thousand years iu stone coffin*, with
mummies and sphinxes in narrow
chambers at the heart of eternal pyra
mids. 1 was kissed with the can
cerous kiss of crocodiles and lay con
founded with unuticraiile slimy things
among wreatby and Nilotic mud.”
l)yN|ii‘|it»e ( liriMtimiily.
Do not mistake narcotic disturbance
for divine revelation. But 1 have to
tell you that tlie majority of the dreams
are merely the penalty of outraged di
gestive organs, and you have no right
to mistake the nightmare for heavenly
revelation. Late suppers are a war
ranty deed for bad dreams. Highly
spiced salads at 11 o’clock at night, in
stead of opening tlie door heavenward,
open the door infernal and diabolical
You outrage natural law. and you in
sult the God who made those laws. It
takes from three to five hours to di
gest food, and you have no right to
keep your digestive organs in struggle
when the rest of your body is In som
nolence. The general rule Is eat noth
ing after H 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 you
much. By physical maltreatment you
take the ladder that Jacob saw In his
dream, and yon lower it to the nether
world, allowing the ascent of the de
moniacal. Dreams are midnight dys
pepsia. An unregulated desire for
something to eat ruined the race In
paradise, and an unregulated desire
for something to eat keeps It ruined.
The world during 0.000 years has tried
In vain to digest that tirst apple. The
world will not be evangelized 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 religion
that lives regularly by day and sleeps
soundly by night. If through trouble
or coming on of old age or exhaustion
of Christian service you cannot sleep
well, then you may expect from God
"songs In the night.” but there are no
blessed communications to those who
willingly surrender to Indlgestlbles.

you have lost some of your tiattlea.
MIhnIoii of Dream*.
Another remark I make is that our
dreams are apt to be merely the echo
of our daytime thoughts. I will give
you a recipe for pleasant dreams. Fill
your days with elevated thought and
unselfish action and your dreams will
he set to music. If all day you are
gouging ami grasping and avaricious.
In your dreams you will see gold
that you cannot clutch and bargains
In which von were out Khvlnokcd. If
during the day you are irascible and
pugnacious ninl gtinpowdery of dispo
sition. you will at night have battle
with enemies in which they wlb get
the best of you. If you are r.l !ay
long in a hurry, at night j an .till

HI., the iniquitous, the night heioro
the battle of Boswortii h a-M dreanied
that all those whom he had immlend
stared at him and that In- was torn
to pieces by demons from flic pit. The
scholar's dream is a philosophic echo.
The poet’s dream is a rhythmic- echo.
Coleridge composed his "Ktibia Khan"
asleep iu a narcotic dream and. wnk
ing up. wrote down ff(KJ lines of it.
Tartinia. the violin player, composed
his most wonderful sonata while asleep
iu a dream so vivid that, waking, ho
easily transferred it to paper.
Waking thoughts have their echo m
sleeping thoughts, if a man spend lu-
life in trying to make others happy
and is heavenly minded, around in'-
pillow he will see cripples who la\o
got over their crutch, and processions oi
celestial imperials, and hear tin* grand
march roll down from drums of heav
eu over jasper parallels. You are very
apt to hear in dreams what you heat
when you are wide awake
Now, having shown you that, having
a Bible*, we ought to Ik* satisfied not
getting any further commimieatiou
from God. and having shown you that
all dreams have an important mission
since they show the comparative inde
pendence of the soul from the hotly,
and having shown you tliav lit** major
ity of dreams are a result of dis
turbed physical condition, and having
shown you that our sleeping thoughts
are apt to lie tin echo of our waking
thoughts. I come now to my fifth anti
most important remark, and that is l«t
say that it is capable of proof that
God does sometimes in our day and
has often since the close of the Bible
dispensation appeared to people in
dreams.
VYiii-ne<l by God.
All dreams that make you better tin*
from God. How do 1 know it? is n t
God tlie source of all good? it does
not Dike a very logical mind to argue
that out. TertuiiMan and Martin Luther
believed in dreams. The dreams of
John Httss are immortal St Angus
title, the Christian father, gives us the
fact that a Carthngini ;!: piiysieian was
persuaded of tlie itum riality of tin*
soul by an argument which lie heard
in a dream. The night In-fore Ids as
sassination the wife of Julius Ctesar
dreamed that her husband tell dead
across her lap.
It is possible to prove tluit God does
appear in dnams to warn, to convert
and to save men My friend, ft retired
sea captain and a Christian, tells im*
that one night while on the son he
dreamed that a ship's crew were iu
great suffering. Waking from Ids
dream, he put about tin* ship, tacked in
different directions, surprised every
body on ids vessel—they thought lu*
was going crazy-sailed on in another
direction hour after hour and for many
hours until in* came to Hie perishing
crew and rosetted them ami broti.'hi
them to New York. Who conducted
that dream? Tlie God of tin* sea.
In Hi!to a vessel went from Spithead
for tla* West Indies and ran on lie.*
ledge of rocks called the Caskets. The
vessel went down, but tlie crew clam
bered up on the Caskets, to die of thirst
or starvation, as they supposed. But
there was a ship bound for Southamp
ton that had tla* captain's son on hoard.
Tins lad twice in one night dreamed
that there was a crew of sailors dying
on the Caskets. He told his father of
this dream. The vessel came down by
the Caskets in time to find and to res
cue those poor dying men. Who eon-
ducted that dream? The God of the
rocks, the God of the sea.
A Reainrbable Dream.
The Rev. Dr. Bushnell in his marvel
ous book entitled "Nature and the Su
pernatural" gives the following fact
that 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 saw in the dream ricks of pe
culiar formation, and, tell ing this dream
to an old hunter, the hunter said:
"Why. I remember those rooks. Those
rocks are in the Carson valley pass. 150
miles away.” Captain Yount. Impelled
by this dream, although laughed at by
bis neighbors, gathered men together,
took mules and blankets and started
out on the expedition, traveled 150
miles, saw those very rocks which be
had described In bis dream, found the
Buffering ones at the foot of those rocks
and brought them back to confirm
the atory of Captain Yount. Who con
ducted that dream? The God of the
snow, the God of the Sierra Nevadaa.
God has often appearec In resource
and comfort. You have known peo
ple—perhaps It la something I state
In your experience—you have seen peo
ple go to sleep with bereavements in
consolable. and they awakened in per
fect resignation because of what they
had seen In slumber. Dr. Cranage, one
of the most remarkable men I ever
met—remarkable for benevolence and
great philanthropies—at Wellington.
England, showed me a house where
the Lord had appeared in a wonderful
dream to a |»oor woman. The woman
was rheumatic, sick, poor to the last
point of destitution. She was waited
on and eared for by another poor
woman, her only attendant. Word
came to her one day that this poor
woman had died, and the Invalid of
! whom I am speaking lay helpless up
on the couch, wondering what would
heroine of tier In that mood site fell
asleep In her dreams she said tlie
angel of the Lord appeared and took
her Into tlie open air and pointed in
one dlreetlon. and there were moun
tains of bread, and pointed In another
dlreetlon. and there were mountains of
butter, and pointed in another dlretv
tion, and there were mountains of all
kinds of wot lily supply. The angel of
the Lord said to her: “Woman, all
these mountains belong to your l ather,
and do you think he will let you, his
child, hunger and die?" Dr. Cranage
told me by some divine impulse lie
went into that destitute home, saw the
suffering tiiere. and administered unto
it. earing for her all the way through.
Do you tell me ihat that dream was
woven out of earthly anodynes? Was
that the phantasmagoria of a diseased
brain? No; it was an all sympathetic
God addressing a poor woman through
a dream.
Furthermore. I have to say that there
are people who were converted to God
through it dream. The Rev. John New
ton, the fame of whose piety fills all
Christendom, while a profligate sail r
on shipboard, in ids dream thought
that a being approached Idm and gave
him a very beautiful ring and put it
upon his linger and said to him: “As
long as you wear that ring you will lie
prospered. If you lose that ring, you
will be ruined." In tlie same dream
another personage appeared and by a
strange infatuation persuaded John
Newt ;ii to throw overboard that ring,
and it sank into the sea. Then the
mountains in sight were full of lire,
and the air was lurid with consuming
wrath While John Newton was re
penting of Ids folly in having thrown
overboard the treasure another person
age came through tlie dream and told
John Newton lie would plunge into the
sea and bring that ring up if he desired
it. He plunged into tin* sen and brought
it up and said to John Newton. "Here
is that gem. but I think I will keep it
for you lest you lose it again.” And
John Newton consented, and all tlie
fire went out from the mountains, and
all tlie signs of lurid wrath disappear
ed from the air. and John Newton said
that he saw in his dream that that val
uable gem was ids soul and that the
being who persuaded him to throw it
overboard 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 tin* most won
derful chapters in tlie life of that most
wonderful man.
Com** to .ln<Ia:in(*nt.
A German was crossing tlie Atlantic
ocean, and in his dream lie saw a man
with a handful of white flowers, and
he was told to follow the man who lev!
that te'm’f.'l of wuite flowers. Tin*
German, arriving in New York, wan
dered into the Fulton stre< I prayer
meeting, and Mr. Larnphier. tin* great
apostle of prayer meetings, that day
had given to him a liunch of tuberoses.
They stood on ids desk, and at the
close of tlie religious services In* took
the tuberoses ami started homeward,
and tin* German followed him and
through an interpreter toid Mr Lam-
phier that on the sea he had dreamed
of a man with a handful of white flow
ers and was toid to f How him Suf
fice it to say that through that inter
view and following interviews he be
came a Christian and is e city mission
ary. preaching the gosp i to his own
countrymen. God in a dream!
John Hardonk. while on shipboard,
dreamed one night that the day of
Judgment had come ami that the r 11
of tin* ship's crew was called exec]it
his own name and that these people,
this crew, were .-'ll banished, and in
lbs dream lie asked the reader why Ins
own name was omitted, and he was
toid it was to give him more opportu
nity 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 ail testimony and refuse to ac
cept any kind of authoritative witness.
God In a dream!
Rev. Herbert Mendcs 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 lie the winding up of
tin* world’s history. If yon have not
dreamed of it. perhaps tonight you may
dream of that day There are enough
materials to make a dream. Enough
voices, for there shall Ik* tin* roaring
of the elements and 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, for
the stars shall go out. Euough popula
tions. for all the races of all the ages
will fall into line of one 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

A Good Hearted
Man,
or in- other words, men with
pood sound hearts, are not very
numerous. The increasing
number of sudden deaths from
heart disease
daily chron
icled by the
press, is proof
of the alarm
ing preva
lence of this
dangcrou s
complaint,
and as noonc
can foretell
just when a
fatal collapse J - A - Krcamer.
will occur, the danger of neg
lecting treatment is certainly a
very risky matter. If you 'are
short of breath, have pain in
left side, smothering spells, pal
pitation, unable to lie on side,
especially the left, you should
begin taking
Miles* Cure.
J. A. Krcamerof Arkansas Citv, Kans.,
says: “Mv heart was so bad it was im
possible for me to lie down, and I could
neither sleep nor rest. My decline was
rapid, and I realized I must get help
soon. 1 was advised to try Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure, which 1 did, and candidly
believe it saved my life.”
