DEATH FROM ACCIDENT
In talking with a man who had died
from an accident, we asked if
he could tell us of his passing. Immediately Sis's hand and pencil
were shaken violently. She
experienced a cramping pain, and an impression of gloom. After a little
the pencil wrote with emphasis:—
"That is awful to remember even now.
It happened so suddenly, and I was alone and helpless. It was so
terrible that the suffering came with me to this side. But it is all
over long ago. My spirit finally came into peace, and I was met and
cared for with great tenderness, and my life now is so happy that I
forget the rest. But the suffering I endured made me the special care of
friends who tried in every way to blot out the memory of the pain and
agony, and lead me into peace and happiness. You have asked of the
occupations of the angelic ones here. Can you not see here one more
service in caring for such spirits? The earth memory still clings to
them for a time, and therefore they are the more tenderly
cared for and led away from all
painful thoughts."
'Is there compensation for such
suffering?'
"All pain is lost at last in the final
peace. But if there are those who cause the pain,—I mean the deliberately
cruel ones, their atonement here is sometimes through much pain and suffering."
'I meant compensation for accidental
suffering?'
"The suffering of earth is so short
compared with the eternity of
bliss, that all thoughts of compensation are lost in the very reality."
