Nigel continues his article from last month with some historical reports of striking dreams among Christians.
Katharine Boston
Katharine, the wife of Thomas Boston (1676-1732), gave birth to a daughter, also Katharine, with a double hare lip. A few months later, she had to make an important visit to her mother accompanied by her husband. The child was left behind being cared for. At her mother’s she had a dream that the child was completely perfect, and trusted that she had been miraculously healed.
However, while approaching the home, someone told her that her infant had died, and it happened the same hour as the dream. Baby Katherine was indeed perfect now, but not in the way her mother had anticipated.
