Impressed by a Dream

By Riley Russell

DURING recent weeks, we have made a round of the churches in the northwest of Chosen. Sixteen have accepted the binding claims of God's law, and several more are interested. Two patients, men, have taken their stand for the truth.
On this trip, we met a man who had formerly gone to the mountains to pray to Satan, but getting no satisfaction, he decided to become a Christian. As there were so many different churches, he was troubled, but prayed God to show him the true church. That night he dreamed he saw a tree bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and by it a blazing Chinese character "7." Next day one of our men gave him one of our papers, and a short study on the binding claims of the law of God and the seventh-day Sabbath and the new earth. When he had read of the tree of life, he said, "This is the true church," and he has kept the Sabbath now for nearly a year.

This historic old cathedral fronts the great plaza of Lima, Peru, and is built of sun-dried mud. It would melt down in a week's rain provided they ever had such a thing in Lima. In one of its side rooms are the mummified remains of Pizarro, who caused the Inca emperor to be strangled after he had paid a ransom equal to seventeen million dollars. In the plaza, heretics were first burned at the stake in South America in 1573. Just across the street and fronting the same square are the government buildings. When Mr. Hall was there, masons were busy plastering up the bullet holes made during the nearly bloodless revolution that accompanied the unseating of President Billinghurst a few weeks before.
