REST IN THE LAND OF BEULAH
N OW I saw in my dream that Greatheart led the pil­grims onward till they came to the Land of Beulah, where the sun shines day and night. Here, because they were weary, they betook themselves awhile to rest.
They sat under the sheltering vines and walked in the pleasant orchards. And they partook of the fruit as they had a mind therefor; for everything belonged to the King of the Celestial Land, and he desired that all pilgrims should partake of his bounty.
But here the bells did so ring, and the trumpets sounded so sweetly, that they could not sleep; yet they were as much refreshed as though they had slum­bered peacefully.
Here, every little while, the cry was heard, "More pilgrims have arrived in the land."
