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.

Thousands have dreamed themselves to ruin, by following the empty speculations of a fervid imagination, and neglecting the path of prudent industry.
