That night I had a dream which made a very happy impression upon my mind. I dreamed that I was attending an important meeting, at which a large company were assembled. Many were bowed before God in earnest prayer, and they seemed to be burdened. They were importuning the Lord for special light. A few seemed to be in agony of spirit; their feelings were intense; with tears they were crying aloud for help and light. Our most prominent brethren were engaged in this most impressive scene. Brother A. was prostrated upon the floor, apparently in deep distress. His wife was sitting among a company of indifferent scorners. She looked as though she desired all to understand that she scorned those who were thus humiliating themselves. {LS 197.2}

Den nat havde jeg en drøm som gjorde et meget stort indtryk på mig. Jeg drømte at jeg deltog i et vigtigt møde hvor et stort selskab var forsamlet. De bestormede Herren i bøn for et særligt lys. Nogle få synes at pines i ånden, deres følelser var intense; med tårer græd de højt efter hjælp og lys. Vore mest fremtrædende brødre var med i dette meget indtryksfulde drama. Bror A lå lammet på gulvet, øjensynlig i store kvaler. Hans hustru sad blandt et selskab af ligegyldige tilskuere. Hun så ud som om hun ville have alle til at forstå, at hun foragtede dem som ydmygede sig selv på den måde.
