Another time before I went to Europe there was a little difference or
misunderstanding between two ministers, and some other ministers were
called on to help get the misunderstanding out of the way, which we did,
and everything was fine. They were good ministers and I loved them dearly.
They had both been a blessing to me. A year later I dreamed that the
brother mostly to blame got up early one morning and traveled three hundred
miles by train to see the other brother, and on seeing him treated him very
unmercifully. I dreamed this at two o'clock in the morning and could not
sleep any more, so got up and wrote this brother a kind letter telling him
of my dream and that the Lord had shown me that he was now greatly to
blame. I advised him that if the dream did not fit to destroy the letter
and to resist the enemy, and also that I was praying for him. On coming
back to America I learned that the dream did fit exactly as to the time,
both date and hour, in which his unmerciful action took place.

While at the Anderson Camp Meeting one year, I dreamed that I saw the
ministers of the Church of God within a large enclosure, walls four square,
high and very beautiful. I was standing just inside the door, and on the
outside of the door stood one of the leading ministers among us. He had
gotten into some false doctrine, and he and his wife had built a little
shanty just outside the walls near the entrance, where they had twelve to
twenty ministers with them. The room was so small that they all had to
stand up.
The brother was talking to me trying his best to get me to join his group
and accept his doctrine. Then as I looked up the street, to my left as it
were, I saw a troop of cavalrymen mounted on white horses and dressed in
white uniforms, coming toward me. The troop was so long it seemed almost as
though there was no end to it. An officer, who was riding on the side, said
to me, "You stay in there with the rest of them and you will be protected."
Then they went to the shanty, a little hut made of unpainted lumber, and
smashed it up, scattering all the men inside. Then the clock struck two.
At the minister's meeting in the morning I asked if I might tell my dream
and, consent being granted, I told my dream. After I had told it, Bro. E.
E. Byrum got up and said, "I can interpret the brother's dream: We were
dealing with this brother and sister until two o'clock this morning, and we
found it to be an ungodly spirit and doctrine. I warn everyone to stay away
from it." The couple left us and never came back again.
