They wept and praised God together in the beautiful language of the 103rd Psalm. Both could say, with a full heart, "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name." The next day Pastor Chiniquy dined at the house of his unexpected visitor, and felt warmly interested in the family and all that he saw and heard, and the two separated, not expecting to meet again on earth, but confidently hoping to meet around the throne of God, to praise the wonders of redeeming love for ever. May we also be glad, and rejoice in His salvation, and join to sing the heavenly song with heart and voice, even now-- "Till sweeter notes our bosoms swell, In yonder world above." WISE work is cheerful as a child's work is. A BROTHER'S DREAM. "_God speaketh ... in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings on the bed; then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction._"--JOB xxxiii. 14-16. Superstition attaches much importance to the night wanderings of a disturbed mind, and augurs good or ill, according to the nature of the dreamy imaginings. Thousands have dreamed themselves to ruin, by following the empty speculations of a fervid imagination, and neglecting the path of prudent industry. The text above does not teach that God speaketh in _all_ dreams, but that He is pleased _sometimes_ (and the writer believes very occasionally) to communicate instruction by such means. He that made the soul can approach it by any avenue He pleases, and is shut out from none. Winters and summers, as many as fourteen, have rolled over my head since the night made memorable by "a brother's dream." Thirteen years have likewise passed since my arms were placed beneath this dying brother--since the glad angels conveyed his sweet spirit to the paradise of God. Oh, the heavenly smile--oh, the beaming eye he cast upon me--as he gently subsided into endless rest! Never shall I forget that scene. Never will be erased from memory's tablet that chamber, and all that there I felt, and saw, and heard. "Friend after friend departs; Who has not lost a friend?" Come, then, all sympathizing hearts; come, ye who know what sorrow is; come, all who "feel an aching void, The world can never fill," and listen to "a brother's dream." Brought up to attend public worship, and under religious instruction, the period when spiritual life first animated his soul is not known to any survivors; nor, also, what were the peculiar exercises of his mind during the first year or two of his Christian life. Up to the time of his dream, he was associated with many of those whose religion consists chiefly in name and show, carnal excitement, and flesh-pleasing formality; and, being of a very cheerful disposition, and generally beloved by all who knew him, it needed no small effort--nothing short of divine power--to sever the confederacy.
