new plane OF existence aud endurance"
As MoRALIsT.
Do you desire to say anything else?
My mind is at your service, but l am
only spirit"
o, is il not bette to be in spirit than in
the flesh? Does not spirit enjoy graDder
than are possible to mortal
here below?
"Yes; but only in proportion as you in
the body, have winged your flight for that
enjoyment of progress. | am, in aim with
the angels who weep, in the possession OF
love for the fallen ones, and who are ever |
beseechipg God with pure strength to in
crease their powers of goodness TO help the |
world, and to bring all the creatures Of
Gods love into one best companionship OF
Joy"
VIII you write brief communication on
the world Of dark spirits?
'oh my friends in Gods love, whose hap
less fate
1t is now to feel, when, alas, too late.
The sorrows that come from a sinful career,
Not mine TO exult but in anguish and fear,
To gaze into that dark abyss OF woe, where
spair;
While signing and mourning, and lingering
awhile
Round the sacred ashes ola funeral pile.
on dark is the vision for them and to- me;
For alas, too plainly my spirit can see
That no ray of light is around them thrown,
All.hope in the mercy Of God having flown,
But, 10 from above comes a slender thread,
To lIft up again these dark spirits of lead,
The small ones-the dear ones-Gods angels
o, see their blest angling in regions above,
And see the spirits in dread, no escape being
nigh,
Catch glimpse ,of the light coming down
And, finally caught In the heavenly snare.
Are lifted above the dread realms of despair;
Then are waited still waited still upward TO
the mightier bands
Ofthe seraphs on high by whose blessed hands
They are borne still alOft.-O, far, far above!
And finally reach the best mansions OF love:
Were washed their dark stains, their sins
They taste OF the joys of the Father in heav
en-.
81 can scarcely speak of evil When so much
| brightness is in store for you" "BikON."
EDGAR ALLEN FOES FAMILIAR SPIRIT"
The spirit of .'the gifted but eiripg" Poe
was present on another occasion and wrote
the following, which Mr.. Riddle Officially
declares "worthy to be compared, in power
of thought, imagery and style, with any OF
his writings while in the flesh -
"My dear friends, am Edgar Poe. Do
you not remember the man who wrote the
Tales of Woe? Too well | feel that l was
cropping for good life, but the dangers that
beset me thwarted any prompting that came
for good and when death announced that
my life of follies was done, o God / shall
never forget the heartfelt remorse that
stopped or choked my spirit out Of its hap
piness. On earth was a drunken and be-
pighted sot-lost to many loves, lost to
much good, given to many temptations, and
feeling no insight into my future victory oil
destruction. Alas | now can vivldly de-
pict my first entrance into eternal lille 4!
brings me right upon thousand ills that
have caused me the stings of myriad Of
horrors. One does not realize the enormity
of his crime when the tide is upon him, mol
when the crime is present, for the moment
nor when he makes his life a fortress o.
crime. But when the light OF day has past
away forever, then does he seek relief vher
there is no one near to hear. My God
felt az in desert OF black despair or
among a set of ravenous wolves, ready Il
devour me with hate, or laugh me down t.
perdition. Ny God, did i deserve such 1
meeting? Alas / can but say that God i
just, and am what / made myself, eycep
that He never forsook me in all my wick
edness, nor pointed me to my hateful life
His spirit it was that has lifted me up, up
up. My Heavenly Father has shown mt
his tender mercies, and l have reached {
goal OF bliss that | never deserved; but IL
