Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Paul Harley''s dream by A. L. O. E." is a pair of short, didactic Christian tales for young readers, likely written in the Victorian era. Set around New Year’s, the book teaches repentance, gratitude, and trust in God through homely scenes and moral crises. In the first story, a vain, irreverent boy named Paul scorns Sunday worship and dreams of angels casting him out; after he falls asleep in church, he is locked in overnight and nearly freezes. In his fear he truly prays for the first time, sings a hymn as a plea, and is rescued by James Barton, the very lad he had despised, which leads to confession, reconciliation, and a resolve to change. The second story follows poor Janet Jones, who grows bitter when her grandson Joseph’s first note brings no money for rent; her gentle granddaughter Annie copies the hymn “I gave My life for thee,” which convicts Janet of distrusting Christ’s love. The next morning a money order arrives—Joseph has sold his watch to help—proving both his affection and the lesson that real love gives, and faith should trust.
