that independent frankness and kind consideration
for others, which wins

the opposite sex as well as her own;
but if she is a transgressor in the eyes
of religion, she will find that there
are moral laws, which, if disregarded, will
place her outside the pale
of honest recognition. She should look well
after her conduct. If she
weeps over religion, she will be disappointed
in the desires of her heart.
If she is defiant, but innocent of offence,
she will shoulder burdens bravely,
and stand firm against deceitful admonitions.
If you are self-reproached in the midst of
a religious excitement,
you will find that you will be almost induced
to give up your own
personality to please some one whom you hold
in reverent esteem.

that your life
will be more in harmony with creation than
formerly.
Your prejudices will not be so aggressive.
To dream that a minister in a social way tells
you that he has given
up his work, foretells that you will be the
recipient of unexpected
tidings of a favorable nature, but if in
a professional and warning way,
it foretells that you will be overtaken in
your deceitful intriguing,
or other disappointments will follow.
(These dreams are sometimes fulfilled literally
in actual life.
When this is so, they may have no symbolical
meaning.
Religion is thrown around men to protect
them from vice, so when
they propose secretly in their minds to ignore
its teachings,
they are likely to see a minister or some
place of church worship
in a dream as a warning against their contemplated
action.
If they live pure and correct lives as indicated
by the church,
they will see little of the solemnity of
the church or preachers.)
