<strong>The</strong>n Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, said,<br />

"Do you see yonder narrow-gate?"<br />

"No."<br />

Evangelist replied, "Do<br />

you see yonder shining<br />

light?"<br />

He said, "I think I do."<br />

<strong>The</strong>n Evangelist said,<br />

"Keep that light in your<br />

eye, and go directly to<br />

it — and then you shall<br />

see the gate; at which<br />

— when you knock —<br />

you shall be told what<br />

you must do."<br />

So I saw in my dream,<br />

that the man began to<br />

run. Now, he had not run far from his own door — before his wife and<br />

children, seeing him depart, began to shout after him to return. But the<br />

man put his fingers in his ears, and ran on, crying, "Life! life! Eternal<br />

life!"<br />

plain.<br />
