A SCHOOL FRIEND
An old school friend once made his
presence known through Sis's pencil, although it was with much
difficulty that she learned
who it was. After the greetings, he went on writing:—
"Life there did not last long with
me. But now I am glad to have
been here all these beautiful years. I love it here, and can remain as
long as I wish. The higher
planes seem to my still earthly mind too
spiritualized, too far away from the
life as I have known it."
'I have thought that I would dislike
to move on to higher planes.'
"You will be glad to know that you can
spend centuries here if you wish."
'It seems to me that particular sphere
must be very crowded?'
"It might be crowded, if illimitable
space could be crowded. But you
do not realize the immensity of heavenly space yet. We express things to
you in language you can understand; but that
language rather crudely describes our
world or our life."
Later she referred to this friend when
speaking to Mary, who replied:—
"We wish you could see him now with all
the beauty of spirit
development. He is no longer the bashful schoolboy, but aspires to
high and fine ideals. You will see when
you come how great are the possibilities in this life for growth and
development of character. He is
one on whom we can rely in helping others."
