“10 Slides, Coloured. With Reading.

A short story in verse of a poor old Cornish woman who managed to eke out a precarious existence through the hospitality and kindness of the neighbours. While in a little cottage one day, she told of a wonderful dream she had had about seeing Heaven and the angels, and hearing the singing of the grand choir. She dreamed that she had gone to the Golden City, and was amongst all the white-robed band. The old couple to whom she was describing her dream were so interested that when Granny had finished asked for more concerning what she saw. But the old dame did not answer, and, on going nearer, they saw that, while telling of Heaven, her soul had crossed the margin, and the dream had become a reality.”
