"O dreamer, dream thy dream, and dream it true. Sir Lewis Morris. "Did not Heaven speak to men in dreams of old?" Lord Tennyson. "... The vision of my soul Has looked upon its Sun and turns no more To any lower light." Sir Lewis Morris. Dreams and visions have a great influence on the Eastern mind. They believe most firmly that God often speaks by means of these agencies, using them as a warning of impending danger, or as a voice of instruction. Ezekiel was no exception to this rule, for we read in the words of his prophecy, "That the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God." This vision was given to him as he stood by the river Chebar in the land of the Chaldeans. The river Chebar is none other than the Khabour, over which we have passed more than once in our "journeyings oft." When on our way back to England we crossed this river, and as we sat near its banks, even as Ezekiel did of old, we too were vouchsafed a "vision of God."
