build these truths into your consciousness. Therefore, be faithful in the proving and living of those in each Lesson, never leaving a statement until all of its inner meaning is clear, and you are able to use it in the problems before you. In this way many wonderful blessings of the spirit, of which you had a taste, will follow.

A FEW nights ago it seemed that a large group of people were gathered like a picnic, but my interest was in watching the grand mountain as the streaks of dawn or the new day was being ushered in, and I seemed to fairly worship its coming.

Then when light came and the day began, the Mountain started to belch forth smoke and ashes. The people were panic-stricken, and a low dark cloud dropped down, seemingly within a few feet of our heads, ready to burst. I seemed to realize that the time for action was now, and informed all I could to remain calm and have no fear; also to look straight up through the cloud trying to see the Sun shining there, and to put all their trust in God above.

I already had a hole cleared through the cloud over me so that I could see the beautiful blue sky above. I warned all within reach of my voice not to touch the cloud or they would be lost. But very, very few heeded me. My wife insisted on putting her hands up, palms outward, seemingly to try to hold it off.

I woke up calling her, trying to warn her of her danger. The people mostly were dressed in bathing suits, and the time seemed to correspond with July or August. This may be significant, but I felt I should relate it to you.

Your interesting inner experience may or may not be prophetic, but it does symbolize your sensitiveness to the dark evil forces pressing down upon the consciousness of humanity and which may outmanifest almost any way you witnessed in your dream.

Your telling the people not to touch the cloud means they were not to allow their minds to become involved in the dark thoughts pressing upon them, but to put all their faith and trust in God, Whose Light above the clouds is ever waiting to penetrate through to those who fix their minds and hearts on Him.

The people all having on bathing suits would indicate that we must cast off all of the outer consciousness clothing our minds, and make ourselves as near naked to God as we can be in the coming months between now and the end of the Old Order.
