Eyo Water "DREAMS" Dr. Talmage Says They Are (lie Avenue Through Which God Has Marched Upon Ihe Human Soul. Prool ol lm mortality Wanted by God. Wasiiixotox, D. C In tin's discourse Dr. Tahnnge discusses a much talked of subject, and one in winch all are inter ested. The text is Joel ii, 28: "I will pour out My spirit upon all fle.li. Your old men sh.tll dream drenr-s, your young men shall see vinions." In this photograph of the millennium the (I it-am is lifted into great conxpicuity. You rmiy sny of a rlre.im that it is a noc turnnl fantasia, or that it is the abmird 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 Benin Ho has marched upon the human soul, decided the fnte of nations, and changed the course of the world's history, (iod appeared in a dream to Ahimelcrh, n-arning him against nn un lawful marriage; in a dream to Jacob, an nouncing by the ladder set against the sky full of angels, the communication be tween earth and heaven; iu a dream to Joseph, foretelling his coming power under the figure of all the sheaves of the harvest bowing down to his sheaf; to the chief butler, foretelling his disimpiisonment; to the chief baker, announcing his decapita tion; to l'hnrnoli. showing him first Ihe 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 tho figure of o barley enke smiting down a tent, encournwtfng Gideon in his battle against the Midinnites; to Nebuchadnez zar, under the figure of a broken image and a hewn down tree, foretelling the over throw of his power; to Joseph, of the Xew Testament, announcing the birth of Christ in his own household, and again bidding him fly from Ilerodic persecutions; to Pilate's wife, warning hiin not to be come complicated with the judicial over throw of Christ. We all admit that God in oncicnt times and under ltible dispensation addressed the people through dreams. The question now is, docs God appear in our rlav nnd reveal Himself through dreams? That is the question everybody 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 live heads. Remark the First 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 Xew York or Pittsburg or Lon don or Glasgow or Manchester do you want a night vision to tell you how to make the journcv? We have in this Scripture full diivctinn in regard to the journey of this life nnd how to get to the celestinl city, and with this grand guide book, this magnificent directory, wo ought to be satisfied. I lnve 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 ctudying dreams get their brains addled. They aro very anx ious to remember what they dreamed about the first night they alept in a new house. If iu their dream thev take the hand of a corpse they are going to die. If they dream of a garden it means a sep ulcher. If something turns out according to a night vision, they say: "Well, I am not surprised; 1 dreamed it." If it turns out different from the night vision, they say, "Well, dreams go by contraries." In their efforts to put their dreams into rhythm they put their waking thoughts into discord. Xow, the Bible is so full of revelution thnt we ought to be satisfied if we get no further revelation. Sound sleep received great honor when Adam slept so extraordinarily that the surgical incision which gave him Kve did not wake him, but there is no such need for extraordinary slumber now, and he who catches an Kve must needs be wide awake! No need pf such a dream as Jacob had, with a ladder against the sky, when ten thousand times it has been dem onstrated that earth and heaven are in communication. No such dream needed as that which was given to Abinielech, warn ing him against an unlawful marriage, when we have the records of the county clerk's office. No need of such a dream as was given to Pharoah about the seven years of famine, for now the seasons march in regular procession and steamer and rail train carry breadstuff to every famine struck nation. No need of a dream like that which encouraged Gideon, for all through Christendom it is announced and acknowledged and demonstrated that riiiteousncKS sooner or later will get the victory. If there should come about a crisis in your life upon which the Bible dues not seem to be sufficiently specific go to God in prayer, and you will get especial direc tion. I have more faith ninety-nine timca out ot a hundred in directions given you with the Bible in your lan and your thoughts uplifted in prayer to God than in all the information you will get uncon scious on your pillow. I can very easily understand why the Babylonians and the Kgyptians, with no Bible, should put so much stress on dreams, and the Chinese in their holy book, Chow King, should think their emperor gets his directions through dreams from God, and that Homer should think that all dreams came from Jove, and that in ancient times dreams were classified into a science, but why do you and I put so much stresB upon dreams when we have a supernal book of infinite wisdom- on all subjects? Why should we harrv ourselves with dreams? Why should Kddystone and Barnegat lighthouses question a summer firefly? Keniark the Second All dreams have an important meaning. Thev prove that the soul is comparatively independent of the body. Tho eyes are closed, the senses are dull, the entire body goes into a lethargy which in nil languages is used an a type of death, and then the soul spreads its wing nnd never sleeps. It leaps tho Atlantic Ocean and mingles in scenes 30)0 miles away. It travels great reaches of time, flashes back eighty years, and the octoge narian is a bov again in his father's house. If the soul before it has entirely broken its chain of flesh can do all this, now far can it leap, what circles ean it cut when it is fully liberated? Every dream, whether agreeable or harassing, whether sunshiny or tempestuous, means so much that, ris ing from your couch, you" ought to kneel down and nv: "O God, am I immortal? hence? Whither? Two natures. My soul caged now what when the door of the cige is opened? If my soul can fly so far in the few hours In which my body is asleep in tho night, how far can it fly when my boi'y sleeps the long sleep of the grave?" Oh, this power to dream, how startling, how overwhelming! Immortal! immortaM . . . I Remark the Third Tho vast majority of dreams are merely the result of dis turbed physicial condition, and are not a supernatural message. Job had carbuncles and he was scared in the night. He says, "Thou sen rest iub with dreams and terri Rest me with visions." Solomon had an overwrought braim overwrought with pub-' lie business, and he suffered from erratic slumber, and ha writes in Kcclesiastes, "A dream cometh through tho multitudo of business." Dr. Gregory, in experiment ing with dreams, found thnt a uottle of hot water put to his feet while in slumheri made him think he was going up the hot sides of Mount Ktna. Another morbid physician, experimenting with dreams, his feet uncovered through sleep, thought hej was riding in an Alpine diligence. But a great many dreams are merely narcotic; disturbance. Anything that you see while under the influence of chloral or brandy or hasheesh or luudanum is not a revela tion from God. The learned De Quinoey did not ascribe to divine communication what he saw in sleep, opium suturated, dreams which he afterward described in the following words: "I was worshiped, I was sacri ficed, I fled from the wrath of Brahma, through all the forests of Asia. Vishnu hated me. Sceva laid in wait for me. I came suddenly upon Isis and Osiris. I had done a deed, they aid, that made the crocodiles tremble. I was buried for a thousand years iu stone cotlina, with mum mies and uphiuxes in narrow chambers at the heart of eternal pyramid. 1 was kisted with the cancerous kits of croco diles uuJ luy confounded with unutterable snmy tmnga amonj wreatny and Miotic mud." Do not mistake narcotic disturbance for divine revelation. But I have to tell you that the majority of the dreams sre mere ly the penalty of outraged digestive or gans, and you have no right to mistake the nightmare for heavenly revelation. Iate suppers are a warranty deed for bad dreams. Highly spiced salads at 11 o'clock at night, instead of opening the door heavenward, open the door infernal and diabolical. You outrage natural law, and you insult the God who 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 your body is in somnolence. The gen eral rule is eat nothing after 6 o'clock ot night, retire at 10, ateep on your right side, keep the window open five indies for ventilation, and other worlds will not dis turb you much. By physical maltreatment you tnke the ladder thnt Jacob saw in his dream, and you lower it to tho nether world, allowing the aacent of the demoni acal. Drenm are midnight dyspepsia. An unregulated desire for something to eat ruined the race in paradise, and nn unreg ulated desire for something to eat keeps it ruined. The world during 6000 years has tried in vain to digest thnt first npple. The world will not be evnnpelized until we get rid of a dyspeptic Christianity. Healthy people do not want the cadaver ous and sleepy thing that some people call religion. They want a religion that, lives regnlarlv bv dsy nnd sleep soundly by night. If through trouble or coming on of old ojo or exhaustion of Christian service you cannot sleep well, then you mnv ex pect from God "songs in the night," but there arc no blessed communications to those who willingly surrender to indigesti blcs. Napoleon's army at Leipsir, Dres den and Borodino came near being de stroyed through the disturbed gastric juices of its commander. That is the way you hnve lost i-ome of vour bnttlea. All drenms that mnke you better are from God. How do I know it? Is not God the source of n'l good? It does not lake a very logical mind to argue that out. Tertullian' nnd Martin Luther believed in dreams. The drenms of John Huss bio im mortal. St. Augustine, the Christian father, gives us the fact that a Cnrthnge nian physician was penaiadcd of the im mortality of the soul by r.n argument which he beard in a dream. The night be fore his assassination the wife of Julius Caesar dicnmed that her husband fell dead across her lap. Furthermore. I have to say that there nre people who were converted to God through a dream. Tho Rev. John New ton, the fame of whose piety fills all Chris tendom, while a profligate sailor on ship board, in his dream thought that a being approached him and gave him a very beau tiful ring nnd nut it upon his finger nnd said to him: "Ah 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 appeared nnd bv n strange infatuation persuaded John Newton to throw overbonrd that ring, nnd it sunk into the sen. Then the mountains in sight were full of fire, and the air wns was lurid with consuming wrath. While John Newton was repenting of his folly in having thrown overboard the treasure an other personage came through the dream and told John Newton he would plunge into the sen nnd bring that ring up if he desired it. He plunged into the sea and brought it up nnd said to John Newton, "Here is that gem, but I think I will keep it for vou lest you lose it ngain." And John Newton consented, nnd al' the fire went out from the mountains, nnd nil the sicms of lurid wrath disnpnenred from the nir, nnd John Newton said that he saw in his dream that that valuable gem was his soul, nnd that the being who persuaded him to throw it. overboard was Patnn. and that the one who plunged in and restored thnt gem. keeping it for him, wns Christ. And tint dream makes one of the most wonderful chanters in the life of thnt most wonderful man. A German was crossing the Atlantic Ocean, ami in his dream he saw a man with a handful of white flowers, nnd he was told to follow the man who had that handful of white flowers. The German, nrriving in New York, wandered into tho Fulton street prayer meeting, nnd Mr. Lnmphier, tho great apostle of prayer meetings, that day had given to hmi a bunch of tuberoses. Thev stood on his desk, and at the close of tho religious ser vices he took the tuberoses and started homeward, and the German followed him and through an interpreter told Mr. Lam phier that on the sea he had dreamed of a man with a handful of white flowers, and wns told to follow him. Suffice it to say that through that interview nnd fol lowing interviews he bseame a Christian nnd is a city missionary, preaching the gos pel to his own countrymen. God in a drenm! John Hardonk. while on shipbonrd, drenmed one night that the day of judg ment had come, and that the roll of the ship's crew was called except his own name, and thnt these people, this crew, were all banished, nnd in this dream he asked the reader why his own name wns omitted, nnd he was told it was to give him more opnortunity for repentance. He woke up a different man. He became illus trious for Christian attainment. If you ilo.not believe these things, then you must discard all testimony nnd refuse to ncceot nnv kind of authoritative witness. God in a dream! ... ... Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted to God through a dream cf the last judgment, nnd manv of v.s have had some drenm 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 to night you may dream of that flay. There sre enough materials to make a dream.

Subject: Moses and Pharaoh, Ex. xl., MO Golden Text, Isa. Ixvlll., 9 Memory Verses, 4-7 Commentary oa the Day's Lesson. Introduction. Moses asked that they might go three days' journey into the wil derness, where they would be free from nil intrusion, nnd where the worship of God which had been neglected could be revived. Mnny seem to think that this proposition on the part of Moses wns not sincere, and that he intended to go nnd not return. But there is no suggestion that any such duplicity was planned. They would have gone and worshipped and returned, had they been permitted to do so; and then God would have made further demands upon Pharoah. It is not necessary for Jehovah to resort to trickery in order to accomplish His pur poses. 1. "The Lord said." Or. as some think, the Lord had said, at some time in the J.ast. Verses 1-3 arc evidently thrown in here in parenthesis, as verses 4 8 seem to be a continuation of the interview Moses was having with Pharaoh at tho close of the preceding chapter. I'harnoh had ordered Moses to leave his presence, nnd threatened him with death if he saw his face ngnin (10:28, 21)): and Moses said ho would sec his face no more, but be fore he left Pharnoh he threatened him with the denth of the first born. It was a terrible threat, but was carried out to the letter soon after. 12:29-33. "Olio plague more." One more heavy blow must fail upon this hard-hearted monarch and his hind, ere he will be compelled to let go tho favored objects of Jehovah's sov ereign grace. The king of Egypt had am ple warning of the terrible calamity that was to como upon thein, and if ho Led repented and humbled himself it might have been averted. 2. "Let overy man borrow," ctr. "Let them ask every man," etc. It. V. Bor row is a wrong and misleading transla tion. God commanded the Israelites to ask or demand a certain recompense for their past services, ond He inclined the hearts of the Egyptians to give liberally; nn.l this, far from being a matter of op pression, wrong, or even charity, was no mora than a very partial recompense for the long nnd painful services which we inay say 000,00(1 Israelites had rendered to Ivrvpt, during many years. There can he i;o doubt that during their servitude the profits of their labor went wholly to tho Kgyptians. Jod has many ways of balancing accounts, of righting the op pressed, and compelling those who have done wrong to make restitution. "Jew els," etc. The work translated "jewels" my be translated "articles' or "goods." "The Israelites received gold nnd silver, probably both in coin aud in plute of dif ferent kinds." 3. "Very grent." Bccnuse of the mira cles he had wrought and the plagues he had brought upon the people. "This seems ti be mentioned as a reason whv no at tempt had been made ngainst his life." 4. "About midnight." God's judgments come upon sinners when they least expect it, nnd in their moments of fancied secur ity. The darkness can not hide from God; we know not what will be in the approach ing night. The wicked may awake to find that the stern messenger of eterual justice has seized upon them. "Will I go out." In this last plague God is represented ns descending in person. This was designed to impress Pharaoh with the terrible char acter of the next judgment. 5. "The first bom." It has been sug- f tested that this might not in everv ease lave meant the oldest child in the family, ns thnt child might now have been dead or absent; but, inasmuch as there was not a hoiue where there was not one dead (12: 30), the word in some cases must have meant the "most eminent,'' or the "best beloved." In this sense the term is fre quently used. "Behind the mill." The poor captive slave employed in the hardest labor. It was the custom then, as it is with the Arabs at present, to grind their cirn with hand-mills, turned by their wom en servants, who, for that purpose, stood behind the mill. 6. "Great cry." The Egyptians were excessive in their manifestations of grief. "They whipped, bc-nt nnd tore them selves, and when a relative died they ran into the streets and howled in the most la mentable nnd frantic manner." How dreadful must have been the scene when there was one dead in every house. No such wnil ever went up before or since. 7. "Shall not a dog," etc. The Israel ites were not only to be free from death, but they were to depart without being mo lested in any wny: the dogs would not even bark nt them. "Doth put a difference." The Egyptians were crying, helpless, frightened, dead. The Israelites were rtuiet, peaceful, protected, blessed. So the Lord always puts a difference between His people and His enemies. One has the f ror.iise of this life and of that which is o come; the other has nothing to expect but indignation and wrath from the hands of an offended God. 8. "Get thee out." See the fulfilment of this in Ex. 12: 31-38. "In a great an ger." "In hot anger." R. V. "Moses was not in an unholy passion; he was grieved at the perversity of a wicked soul." 10. "The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart." God is sometimes said to do what He merely permits to be done, be cause He can not wisely prevent it. But, by studying the narrative it will be seen that Pharoah hardened his own heart. "Harden" is used nineteen times in this account. Ucven times God is said to harden Pharaoh's heart, five times the simple statement is made that it was hardened, and three times it is said that he hardened it himself. "In the narrative of what actually took place, it is not till after the sixth plague that it is said that the Lord hardened his heart, ond enly after the eighth plague is the agency ex clusively ascribed to God." WVOMINO SOAP MINES. Wyoming has a soap mlno. A de posit of n whitish material, in com posite form, containing Just enough sulphate, potush, and pumico to give gritty essential, has been discovered five miles west of Newcastle, in the northeastern part of Wyoming. The deposit lies in a fissure and dips inte the ground like, a vein of mineral. The vein, so called, is 15 to 18 feet wide and runs the length ot a quarter section, which for twenty years up to date was used as a stock pasture. Next week probably a building of commo dious dimensions, fitted with machin ery that will cut the slabs of mineral soap into sizes for commercial use, will cover a portion of the ground. Tho cleanest town in the United States, it Is possible, will be located in this sec tion. It will be free from soot and smoke..

God Endows Us With Tills Power If God gives us power to turn tho wilder ness Into a garden, grants us Ingen ulty to Invent and skill to execute, does he not provide, us wherewith to bring men Into the empire of rlghte ousness. Back of reputation, of deed. of tho movement that lilted trom rude ness and Ignorance, slavery nnd sin, Is the man. See how Jesus announced the power of the person: "And I, ii I . . . will draw all men unto me." , Tho influence that personally yields comes from a cardinal inherent quali ty, the master possession of the man To. give value to influence, character is essential. Without this salt has no savor, tho candle has no light. When the character Is holy, the rep utation unsullied, the deed noble, all the aroma will not only be widely dif fused, but will sweeten the air. Men grow Into what they admire and love. For Influence that has value, give the world inexhaustible goodness, nnd lives that save. They are as ointment poured forth, whoso fragrance per vades all time. Some time Influence Inspires to attain what Is far beyond us. Influence Is like the law of grav itation alwayB operating, a perpetual force. Have wo forgotten Paul? No, his word and work go sweeping on wider with each swell of sea. Tho courage of that disciple of the higher law, Bernard, nerved Wyclif aud Luther. "And when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken, Tho light he leaves behind him lies Upon the path of men." "Let your light so shine before men, thnt they may lee your good work, and glorify your Father which Is in Oeaven." RAMS' HORN BLASTS HE trifling man always disregards tho essential tri fles of life. Redemption will make a perfect family out of a chaotic race. Tho church that flourishes it self is often far from flourishing. Tho sense of eternity In the heart makes the truly great life. If God puts you to a hard school it Is because He has great, work for you. Men cannot see the good when tho mists of passion are ou the windows ot the soul. Tho trouble with short-sighted peo ple is that they expect everyone to wear their glasses. Tho soundness of a man's preach ing docs not depend on the amouut ot sound ho makes. The church will never satisfy tha world's needs so long as it is satis factory to the world's pride. It is not hard to let your moderation be known to all men so tar as the virtues are concerned. There are too many who feel thoy would be safe if they could only make sure of dying on a Sunday. He cannot know truth that has nev er known error. The church Is not'a clearing house for credulity. Care dVives, to prayer and prayer drives au care. The ee'iierosity that flourishes ot homo it Seldom folt abroad. I'tiixp e:eil Advlre. Some lime ago a man presented him- scll uctore the Liverpool magistrates wnn me loiiowing talc; "Me name is Patrick O'Conncr an' I lives at street, an' I kapes hens in my cenar, out the water pipes is burst, an' my hens are all drowned." "Well, my good man, we can do noth ing for you ; you had better apply to the water company," was all the advice he got. A few days Inter the same man appear ed with precisely the same tale.
