THE BAND OF WORKERS

 

Our leader, Mary, wrote through Sis's pencil:—

"It seems that the world is very unready for spirit influence. But it cannot be worse than it was in times past. All will come right at last. We must hold fast to faith and hope, and do our part as we can."

 

Here the pencil was seized firmly, trailing off at first in a heavy mark, then dashed forward in bold writing:—

 

"We are here. We are a band of workers and wish to add our knowledge. We wait not only in hope, but in certainty; for we go far and near and see all sides of the work among many people and many nationalities. There is a slow dawning of a great day. It is coming, coming surely; and we can watch it from afar.

 

"We were passing and caught the last sentence, and caught your somewhat discouraged attitude. We move quickly, and we wrote quickly. We are a large band, but divide our numbers many times and go to different places. We wish you to feel the spirit presence as you just now felt ours. You have many helpers about you, but you do not always keep your spirit perceptions alert. Can you not keep in constant touch with your spirit friends?"
