The Lynchburg AlrunT says :
The recent rainfall seems to have been
as great and as destructive in palls of
China as in this country. The number
of lives lest at Hong Kong is placed at
lll.illl, and the destruction ul' propcity
very general.
This adds point and force to the re
markable dream recorded of the Ilev,
Johu Ja-per, the eoloied pre.iiht r of
liichmond, who thinks the "Sun Do
Move." He dreamed some days before
llie lale disaster that there would be "on
May 111, 'a great Hood over the laud
which would destroy many thousands ol
lives and millions of properly, and carry
devastation and sorrow into unnumbered
households.

gregation the Sunday before llie Hood

believe ihat ihe end if the World was
close to hand and I hey lilt without
ark to lloat out upon.
1 lie tail that the llonil did come i n
the vi ry day predicted, May III, and did
carry death and distinction over various
portions of the world, makes his emigre
gal ion honestly believe that Jasper is a
prophet from tiud itutl has inspired vis
ions, ns prophets of old used to have.
Some of his reliable colored friends de
clare that this is not the reverend preach
er's only prophetic vision, but he has had
several others that came strictly lo pass.
And, really we do not see. why llicrc
should not be prophets iu our time as
well as in the past, or why good nieu
should noo dream dreams that are real
ir.ed in all their vivid reality. Theso is
not only nothing unnatural or unreason
able in it, but the thing is cnlirely consis
tent with sound philosophy and the reali
ties of a spirit world. In fact, dreams
and dreamland are the most distinct links
that connect this life with that to come,
and assures us that when theso frail
bodies cf ours drop into the dust from
which they sprung, that tho spirit lives
nd riaea immortal in the heavens.

At the close of our great revival ;t
Fifth Street church two years ago a num
ber of young men came to llie to know
if they ought to pay biils lliey had made
at bar rooms for wbi-key, etc? I told
them to "owe no man anything;" "let m.t
our gootl be evil spoken ol'" give ihe
devil his din s. All of ihosi
one or two, went and paid
nun, save
those "bad
debls" and made no more. Tins' who
could not see that it was t In ir duty to
pay those debts have returned to llo ir
old paths and their second stale is wor-e
than the first.
V HIiltTATIIIN
Then let the whole church pray for
a revival of debt paving religion. Ill
every revival let prayer be made that the
new converts may have grace to pay up
"old debls" aud not contract new outs
without a good probability of paying
them. Let the minister enforce this duly
publicly and pi ivalely (with discretion')
antl great good caii be accomplished. If
preachers would look idler this matter of
debt-paying among their congregations
their own debts might be more promptly
paid chickens come home to roost, hut
preachers need to be more careful, pray
erful and pavful along this line. The
greatest necessity of the time) is confi
dence among the people Let the church
command and demand her membership
to live up to their promises aud contracts
and soon the present financial darkness
will give away to a brighter morn of pros
perity in all business circles. Keep the
amen corner and front seat clear of men
who won't pay their debts (the pulpit
too) and tho word preached will reach
sinners. May God give increase to these
words which are written for tho promo
tion of his kingdom in the practical
dealing of men with men.
