Suddenly his attention was arrested by a knock at the door. The lord of
the mansion had arrived--the door opened and he entered. So powerful and
overwhelming, and withal of such singular beauty was his appearance,
that he sank down at his feet, completely overcome by his majestic
presence. His lord gently raised him from the ground, and taking his
hand led him forward to the table. He pressed with his fingers the juice
of the grapes into the golden cup, and after having himself drank,
he presented it to him, saying, "This is the new wine in my Father's
kingdom." No sooner had he partaken than all uneasy sensations vanished,
perfect love had now cast out fear, and he conversed with the Saviour as
an intimate friend. Like the silver rippling of a summer sea he heard
fall from his lips the grateful approbation: "Thy labors are finished,
thy work is approved; rich and glorious is the reward." Thrilled with
an unspeakable bliss, that pervaded the very depths of his soul, he
suddenly saw glories upon glories bursting upon his view. The Doctor
awoke. Tears of rapture from this joyful interview were rolling down his
cheeks. Long did the lively impression of this charming dream remain
upon his mind, and never could he speak of it without emotions of joy,
and with tender and grateful remembrance.
