 We believe the dream symbols are merely the expression of our own suppressed fears and desires and we feel safe and disregarding them But if this be true, how do we explain a dream such as the dream experienced by the Reverend Charles Morgan? It was the Reverend Morgan's custom each Sunday afternoon to post conspicuously in the Rosedale Church of Winnipeg, Canada The hymns which were to be sung at the evening service But on this particular Sunday afternoon in the spring of 1912 the church organist came to him to register a complaint But always the same ones Reverend can't the congregation ever sing a new hymn nothing the matter with the old ones Is there bother no sir nothing's the matter with them only it'd be kind of nice to try a different one for a change But I feel no need to experiment with the new hymn as long as these serve the purpose But that of course was before the Reverend Morgan had had his dream The dream came when he had laid down as he usually did for a short nap between dinner and the evening service The moment he closed his eyes He was asleep and almost immediately he saw himself walking down the aisle of his church between rows of empty pews And on one pew lay a book a hymnal and its pages were opened He bent down to read what was written there And he could hear his own voice forming the words hymn number 42 And then suddenly he was driving a car along an open country road And in front of him loomed an enormous signboard bearing three words in huge black letters hymn number 42 When the Reverend Morgan awoke he went immediately to his desk and picking up his hymnal opened it to the 42nd hymn It was an unfamiliar one It had never been sung in his church before An hour later he stood in the pulpit looking down on his congregation And until that instant he had fully intended to ignore the dream But now suddenly the compulsion became too strong for him and with something akin to amazement. He heard himself saying I have been asked to introduce new hymns from time to time into our evening service I think it is a wise suggestion The congregation will sing hymn number 42 which begins Dear father while we pray to thee for those in peril on the sea As the organist began playing the introductory chords to the new hymn Neither she nor the Reverend Morgan nor the men and women of the rosedale church suspected that at that very moment Out on the endless expanses of the gray churning Atlantic Ocean A wireless operator sat in his cabin pounding out a frantic message Yes, it was 2 20 a.m. Of the 15th of april 1912 that the white star liner titanic The largest ship of float went to the bottom of the Atlantic with a loss of 1500 lives And 2 20 a.m. April 15th was 720 p.m. April 14th in Winnipeg Canada The city with a congregation of the rosedale church was singing a hymn for sailors in distress Singing it only because the minister had had a strange and insistent dream A dream incredible but true
