Their own mother would not have
known them.

begged them to leave their com fortress

we Were strong and well, and for some
days we felt no i'll effects. Then we
began to feel weak and drowsy, and At
times were in great pain. Then we
began to see all around us the spirits OF
the dead.
we saw our father and neither, the
little sisters and brothers we scarcely
remember and many other frienda and
relatives; besides. these were some that
We did not know at all No, they did
not speak TO US can't exactly ex-
plain IT, but there was sort Of
thought transferencs. We knew they
loved us and sympathized with us.
We never felt afraid or even awed
oy their presence. 1t seemed perfectly
right and natural for them to be there.
Sometimes they would all go away
but our father and mother were there
nearly always, bv night and day.
Yes, we saw them as well in chs
DAY as in the night. Sometimes, when
we were In pain, they lowered around
us and waved their hands in soft OF
rhythmical measure. Then we were
soothed and generally fell asleep. W,
thought we were going to die, and te
have them there was the greatest com
fsrt you can imagine.

sister, feeding her, my mother laid hel
hands on your head and blessed you
