The Legacy of Jesus
! . By Docia Murr.
(Written for tho Capital Journal.)
t . Eilene Ballston was a studiouB and
dutiful child. She had besides a decid
ed religious instinct if I may so use the
word, having descended from a line of
ancestors noted lor Btrong proclivities
for theological nnd ethical thinking
some of which bad gained not a little
fame aa writers along moral and re
formatory lines. Eilene thus seems to
have been a subject of heredity, inherit
ing from those ancestors that wnrm and
sympathetic, spiritual bent of soul
which separated her iu thought and pur
pose from the companions of her age
and daily association. Yet along with
this personal psychology went a healthy
strain of practical common sense, ex
eluding from the mind all morbid senti
mcntalism. Tho usual morning household duties
having been completed nnd being seat
ed with her mother with tome special
neodlework she was trying to comploto
by Christmas now closo at hand, begun
tho conversation by saying, "Mamma,
do you believe dreams reully mean much
of anything t"
"Wcdl, Eilene,' that dopends. Some
dreams come from a "multitude of
business" the Biblo tells us. Homo
arise from tho food we eat at improper
times and in improper quantities, the
stomach and brain being iu sympathy.
Fevers will cause dreams at times and
delirium which perhaps might be call
ed abnormal or unnatural dreuming.
Again dreams may bo providential or
sent as warnings or admonitions or en
couragements and in this way may bo
sent for our good. But why do you
nskf"
"Why, last night I had such a beau
tiful dream Yes, I will say b;.iutif jl
tiiough tnero were some parts of it 1
did not understand. I saw a great
arch. It was very wide. It reached
clear across tho earth or that part 1
could see from where 1 Btood. It rested
where tho earth and sky seem to come
together stretching from east to west.
The arch was also very high. It seem
ed to go above tho clouds into tho very
sky though i could soo the top ever so
clearly. In tho center of this arch at
tho highest part I saw a most lovely be
ing standing which I in sonio way
recognized to bo the Saviour. His
bunds were raised about even with his
shoulders and there seemed to come
from them something like dew in
drops. As theBO drops reached the earth
beautiful flowers sprung up roses,
hyacinths, peonies and others."
" Well, this was beautitul indeed. Did
you not understand what you saw!"
. "Yes, I understood what I saw, but
not exactly what it meant."
"What did you next see!"
"As I said I did not know what it
meant, and as I thought about it there
stood nearly in front of me a hand
some person. Ho canio so suddenly it
startled me nt first but seeing hia kind
ly look I did not seem to bo afruid.
Ho said, 'little girl, 1 see you are puz
zled at what you see.' 'Yes, I do not
quite understand,' I said. ' Then ho
came closo tin and put tho tips of his
fingers (I felt them) on my eyes. He
then sail), 'What do you now soot
Look.' Tho flowers had disappeared.
Where they had once stood in a wealth
of color and stately beauty was only
blank space, yet a fragrance filled the
air as coming from roses and sweet
iccntod lilioB. Said my
companion: .
Look toward the nortli.
I saw the
great arch fado Blowly away, leaving J
a mist or light cloud which floated out
of sight."
"Daughter, this was truly a wonder
ful dream," Bald the .mother, "and
must have interested you much. Did
there anything olso occur!"
. "Yes, indeed. The angel, or spirit or
whatever he was, presently said, 'Eilene
look toward where the flowers were.'
I was surprised to hear my name culled
and Bald, 'Kind air, pardon me, h
you appear to know my name. How
did you learn it!' Then he laid, 'I
did not loam it. I always knew.' I
said, 'please, slnco you know my name,
would you mind telling me yours!' 'I
will I am Palmoni, or the Numbercr of
secrets or the wonderful Numborer. I
am in the counsel of the Most High and
from the Celestial Courts. I came to
Daniel the floor in old Babylon which
the Holy Book of God reveal, You
have it and call it the Bible or the
Book. Somethings I always knew, ai
your name. Ab the Wonderful Number
er of Secrets I knew your name and a'
number of other secrets so called by
mortals. I will tell you another. It
will now soon bo Christmas. You will
celebrate the birth of the Holy One,
Jesus, the Lord, you saw standing on
tho high arch. The night long ago
when He was born the celestial ones
from the courts of heaven sung, 'Glory
to Ood in the Highest, Feace on Earth
and Good Will to Men.' It was I who
led the choir that glad night over the
villnge where David lived and where
the Son of David tho Redeemer was
born.'
"0, Eilene, how wonderful, how won
derful to converse with a heavenly mes
senger even in a dream," snid Mrs.
Ballston, remarkably impressed by her
daughter's narrative.
"Yes, it was wonderful, nnd I will
novor forget it, nor my Saviour who
was born in Bethlehem in the long ago.
Ho is now in heaven 1 know, and 1 love
and prniso Him for the great salvation
Ho brought to this world. O, mamma,
isn't it glorious! And to think that an
angel tulked with me about it. It was
so real to me I boliove it was more
than a dream."
"Yes. Eilene, it may be it was more.
The Good Being comes very near to us
many times. But when you wero bid
den to look toward where tho flowers
grew, did you look and what did you
see?"
"Yes, mamma, I looked, but not at
once. 1 was so ustouished to hear Him
call my nnme and to tell me His and
tho othor things he told mo that I for
got all about it till He said, 'Won't you
look toward the flowursj' When I look
ed I saw they were replaced by tall and
wide spreading trees full of beautiful
fruit. These trees formed a vast grove
or forest nnd seemed to fill all the epaco
before me, far as I could see." l'al
moni snid, 'Eilene, the fruit of those
trees uro God's blessings to the world,
blessings of all kinds to all, everywhere.
The crystal drops that distilled from the
hands of Jesus on tho nrch mean, the
mercies of God through Jesus the
Christ. As the flowers sprang up and
grew from these drops, so God's bless
ings to us come through Christ. Jesus
is Himself a blessing and so from Him
other diviuo blessings como and multi
ply. Tho high arch means the years and
centuries as timo is measured on your
planet. Jesus is thus a blessing in all
tho years and centuries of time past
and in timo yet to come. I hono vou
will remember this when'you celebrate
His birth on next Holy Suturday. You
see I havo told you a number of secrets.
Am I not rightly named 'The Wonder
ful Numbcrcr of Secrets' as I told you
before.'
"Mnmma, could I have had a more
inspiring dream!"
"It was wonderful, almost enchant
ing certainly. I almost envy you."
"My instructor also told mo tho star
that guided tho wise men to tho manger
where Jesus lay was a compnny of
angels, bright and shining like a
great star."
"That is probably true. I had not
thought of it before," said Mrs. Boll
ston. "O, mamma, probably! I fully be
liove it because l'almoni said so."
"Certainly, truo enough, my dnugh
tor." "He also said ha was ono of tho ang
els composing tho great BtnrT I now
saw him roll up in the air probably as
high aa ono church stoeplo somothing
Jjko a 8rcllt map like tho big map of
urcgnn oniy nigger, mat hangs in my
cnooi room, i could see at the top in
biK lo"r"' tlia woril! "The Legacy of
Jesus.' There were other lettcrB or writ-
ing but they were smaller so I could
not rend them. As I looked Palmoni
came to my aide and said, 'I know you
cannot read all the writing on the scroll
it is Bo- far away, but what is on it is
also in tho Holy Writings of God that

seers wrote whnt ia on the scroll and in
the tons of thousands of copies scat

"So he told me many things. . Ho

or could not buy nor earn. He ia God 's

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth

Milton. He said it wns not poetry but

he would not with them enter into the
revolt.
"Mamma, Rebecca told me once that
the Virgin Mother of Jesus was not a
good woman and that Bhe could not be
the promised Messiah."
"Rebecca is, as you know, a Hebrew,
and tho Jews reject Jesus, because he
also did not fulfill their mistaken ex
pectations." "But Rebecca is a good girl and 1
will try to show her better. Thnt she
docs not believo in Jesus is not his
fault."
"No, it is not her fault nnd she may
yet be brought to know tho Saviour."
"Mamma, this dream has been a
great help to me and I believe God sent
it. Palmoni snid if I would be good
and do good tho angels of heaven and
maybo he among them, would attend

"That is most encouraging, Eilene. I

Somebody Steals Barney
Oldfield's Pet Car
Los Angeles, Cal., Dee. 25. Local
police court annals contain many a
story illustrating the carefree way in
which the motor ear thief operates.
None, however, approaches the bare
faced impudence of the man who, a
few nights ago, stopped into Barney
Oldfield 'b famous pet Maxwell touring
car and drove it away into oblivion.
That any of the motor brigands
should deem it possible to purloin Bar
ney's car and get away with it, stag
gers tho imagination of the local cafe
proprietor and his friends. That tho at
tempt could be made successfully is in
