The text is Joel i1, 28: *"I will put out my spirit upon all fliesh. Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions." In this photograph of the millenâ€" nium the dream is lifted into great conspicuity. You may say of a dream that it is nocturnal fantasia, or that it is the absurd combination of waking thoughts, and with a slur of intonation you may say: "It is only a dream;" but God has honored the dream by making It the avenue through which again and &gain he has marched upon the human soul, decided the fate of nations, and changed the course of the world‘s hisâ€" tory. Geod appeared in a dream to Abiâ€" melech, warning him against an unlawâ€" ful marriage; in a dream to Jacob anâ€" nouncing, by the ladder set against the sky full of angele, the communicaâ€" tion between earth and heaven; in a dream, to Joseph, foretelling his comâ€" Ing power under the figure of all the sheaves of the harvest bowing down to his sheaf; to the chief butler, foretellâ€" Ing his disimprisonment; to the chief baker, announcing his decapitation; to Pharaoh, showing him first the seven plenty yearse and then the seven famine struck years, under the figure of the seven lean cows devouring the seven fat cows; to Solomon, giving him the choice between wisdom and riches and honor; to a warrior, under the figure of a barley cake smiting down a tent, encouraging Gideon in his battle against the Midianites; to Nebuchadâ€" nezzar, under the figure of a broken image and a hewn down tree, foretellâ€" ing the overthrow of his power; to Joseph, of the New Testament, anâ€" nouncing the birth of Christ in his own household, and again bidding him fiy from Herodic persecutions; to Pilate‘s wife, warning him not to become comâ€" plicated with the judicial overthrow of COhrist. We all admit that God in ancient times and under Bible dispensation addressed the people through dreams. The question now is, does God appear in our day and reveal Himself through dreamse? This is the question everyâ€" body asks, and that question I will try to answer. You ask me if I believe in dreams. My answer is, I do, but all I have to say will be under five heads. Remark the first.â€"The Scriptures are so full of revelation from God that if we get no communication from Him in dreams we ought, nevertheless, to be satisfied. With twenty guidebooks to tell you how to get to New York or Pittsburg or London or Glasgow or Manchester, do you want a night vision to tell you how to make the journey? We have in this scripture full direction in reâ€" gard to the journey of this life and how to get to the celestial city, and with this grand guidebook, this magâ€" pificent directory, we ought to be eatâ€" isfied. I have more faith in a decision to 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. Washington, Dec. 1.â€" Remark . the have an impo prove that the imdependent of in all languages death, and then wing and never Atlantic ocean & $,000 miles reaches of years, and again in | My soul ca doer of the enâ€" | that 150 miles away there was a comâ€" ich | pany of travelers fast in the snow. He of | also saw in the dream rocks of peâ€" its | culiar formation and, telling this dream . the | to an old hunter, the hunter said: ‘ nes ; "Why, I remember those rocks. Those eat | rocks are in the Carson Valley pass, aty | 150 miles away." Capt. Yount, impeliâ€" joy | ed, by this dream, although laughed at the | by his neighbors, gathered men toâ€" its | gether, took mules and blankets, and far started out on the expedition, traveled cut | 150 miles, saw those very rocks whi:h ery : he had described in his dream, and ssâ€" | found the suffering ones at the foot of us, â€"those rocks, brought them back to conâ€" our : firm the story of Capt. Yount. Who ind conducted that dream? The God f il ? , the snow, the God of the Sierra Neâ€" res. | vadas. '.he! God has often apreared in resourc> my ‘ and comfort. You have known people soul can fly so far in the few hours in which by body is asleep in the night, how far can it fly when my body sleeps the long sleep of the grave? Oh, this power of dream, how startling, how overwhelming! â€" Immortal, immortal‘! Remark the third.â€"The vast majorâ€". ity of dreams are merely the result of disturbed physical condition and are not a supernatural message. Job had carbuncles and he was scared in the night. He says, ‘"Thou scarest me with dreams and terrifiest me with visions." Solomon had an Overâ€" wrought brain, overwrought with pubâ€" lic business, and he suffered from erâ€" ratic slumber, and he writes in Eccleâ€" slastes. " A dream cometh through the multitude of business." Dr. Greâ€" gory, in experimenting 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 phyâ€" sician, experimenting with dreams, his feet uncovered through sleep, thought he was riding in an Arpine diligence. But a great many dreams are merely narcotic disturbance. Arything that you see while under the influence of chloral or brandy or hasheeh or lauâ€" danum is not a revelation from God. Do not mistake narcotic disturbance | ! for divine revelation: But I have to 1 tell you that the ‘majority of the | & dreams are merely the penalty of outâ€" | & raged digestive organs, and you have | t no right to mistake the nightmare for | & heavenly revelation. Late suppers | : are a warranty deed for bad dreams. | ] Highly spiced salads at 11 o‘clock at | ; night, instead of opening the door | 4 heavenward, open the door infernal | and diabolical. You outrage natural j iaw, and you insult the God who has ] made those laws. It takes from three | ; to five hours to digest food, and you } ; have no right to keep your digestive | . organs in struggle when the rest of |â€" your body is in somnolence. The genâ€" | eral rule is eat nothing after 6 o‘clock || at night, retire at 10, sleep on your } right side, keep the window open five inches for ventilation, and other worlds ‘ will not disturb you much. By phyâ€" sical maltreatment you take the ladder that Jacob saw in his dream, and you lower it to the nether world, allowing the ascent of the demoniacal. Dreams are midnight dyspepsia. â€" An unreguâ€" } lated desire for something to eat ruinâ€" ed the race in paradise, and an unâ€" Iregulated desire for something to eat ’keeps it ruined. The world during 6,000 years has tried in vain to digest ’tha‘t first apple. The world will not be evangelised until we get rid of a dyspeptic Christianity. Healthy peoâ€" ple do not want the cadaverous and sleepy thing that some people call reâ€" ligion. 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 indigestibles. Naâ€" poleon‘s army at Leipsic, Dresden and Borodino came near being destroyed through the disturbed gastric juices of its commander. That is the way you have lost some of your battles. 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 eleâ€" vated thought and unselfish action and your dreams will be set to music. ‘If all day you are gouging and l grasping and avaricious, in your | dreams you will see gold that you cannot clutch and bargains in which you were outâ€"Shylocked. If during l the day you are irascible and pugâ€" nacious and gunpowdery of dlsposi-i ".ion, you will at night have battle' with enemies in which they will get | the best of you. If you are all day | long in a hurry, at night you |\ will dream of rail trains that you { want to catch while you cannot | move one inch toward the depot. [ If you are always oversuspicious and | expectant of assault, you will have | at night hallucinations of assassins | with daggers drawn. No one wonâ€" ’ders that Richard III, the iniquitâ€" | ous, the night before the battle of Bosworth field, Gdreamed _ that all ‘ those whom he had murdered started ‘ at him and that he was torn to | pieces by demons from the pit. â€" The | scholar‘s dream is a philosophic echo. \ The poet‘s dream is a rhythmic echo. |! Coleridge composed his Kabla Khan ‘| asleep in a narcotic dream and, wakâ€" | ing up, wrote down 300 lines of it. ! Tartinia, the violin player, composed | his most wonderful sonata while asleep | in a dream so vivid that, waking, he : | easily transferred it to paper. Waking thoughts have their echo in sleeping thoughts. If a man spena his life in trying to make others happy and is heavily minded, around his pilâ€" low he will see cripples who have got over their crutch, and processions of celestial imperials, and hear the grandi march roll down from drums of heavâ€" en over jasper parapets. You are very apt to hear in dreams what you hear when you are wide awake. Rev. Dr. Bushnell in his marvelous book entitled Nature and the Superâ€" natural, gives the following fact that he got from Capt. Yount in California, a fact confirmed by many families Capt. Yount dreamed twice one night â€"perhaps it is something I state in your experienceâ€"you have seen people go to sleep with bereavements inconâ€" solable, and they awakened in perfect resignation because of what they had seen in slumber. Dr. Cranage, one of the most remarkable men I ever metâ€" remarkable for benevolence and great philanthropiesâ€"at ‘Wellington, Engâ€" land, showed me a house where the Lord had appeared in a wonderful dream to a poor woman. The woman was rheumatic, poor to the last point of destination. She was waited on and cared for by another poor woman, | : her only attendant. Word came to her | ] one day that this poor woman had died, | i and the invalid of whom I am|â€" speaking lay helpless upon the couch, | wondering what would become of her.| . In that mood she fell asleep. In het | dreams she said the angel of the Lord | appeared and tor" her into the open || air and pointed in one direction, and | there were mountains of bread, and | pointed in another direction, and there | / were mountains of butter, and pointed in another direction, and there were mountains of all kinds of worldly supâ€" ply. The angel of the Lord said to her: ‘"Woman, all these mountains belong to your Father, and do you think He will let you, His child, hunger and die?" Dr. Cranage told me by some j Divine impulse he went into that desâ€" titute 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 phanâ€" tasmagoria of a diseased brain? No; it was an all sympathetic God addressâ€" ing a poor woman through a dream. Furthermore, I have to say that there are people who were converted to God through a dream. Rev. John Newton, the fame of whose piety fills all Christendom, while a profliigate sailor on shipboard, in his dream thought that a being approached him and gave him & very beautiful ring and put it upon his finger and said to him: "As long as you wear that ring you will be prospered. If you lose that ring you will be ruined." In the same dream another personage apâ€" peared and by a strange infatuation persuaded John Newton to throw overâ€" board 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 repenting of his folly in having thrown overboard the treasure another personage 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 I think I will keep it for you lest you lose it again." And John Newâ€" ton consented, and all the fire went out from the mountains and all the signs of lurid wrath disappeared from the air, and John Newton said that he eaw in his dream that that valuable gem was his soul and that the being who persuaded him to throw it overâ€" board 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 wonderful chapters in the life of that most wonderful man. 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 judgment, which shall be the winding up of the world‘s history. If you have not dreamed of it, perhaps toâ€"night you 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 earthquake. Enough light for the dream, for the world â€" shall blaze. Enough excitement, for the mountains shall fall. Enough water, for the ocean shall roar. Enough astronomiâ€" cal phenomena, for the stars shall go out. Enough populations, for all the races of all the ages will fall into line of one of two proce«sions, the one asâ€" cending and the other descending, the one led on by the rider on the white horse of eternal victory, the other led on by Apollyon on the black charger of eternal defeat. The dream comes on me now, and I see the lightnings from above answering the volcanic disturbances from beneath, and I hear the long reverberating thunders that shall wake up «the dead, and all the seas, lifting up their crystal voices, _cry: "Come to judgment!" and all the voices of heaven cry: "Come to judgâ€" ment!" and crumbling mausoléeum and EWesiminster Abbeys and pyramids of the dead with marble voices cry: "Come to judgment!" And the archâ€" angel seizes an instrument of music which has never yet been eounded, an instrument 4* music that was made only for ors sound, and, thrusting that mighty trumpet through the clouds and turning it this way, he shall put it to his lips and blow the long, loud blast that shall make the solid earth quiver, crying: "Come to judgment!" ;fhe;l from this earthly grossnese quit, Attired in stars, we shall forever sit.

They woere scaled down and down until one was adopted. Not: withstanding accepted specifications and contracts no one certainly can toll the final cost. A man skilled in such matters, after a summary of data furnished from an authoritative rource, "guessed" that the sum nc essary to finish the work would be $20,000,000.
