"He says, I want you to get my thoughts from the spirit world. All of us here want you to get our thoughts because we are constantly with you in the mortal world. You have much to look forward to- d
 "Then I see another beautiful spr- it standing behind you. It is your wife. She says; My loving, watchful spirit is ever with you, and in sweet accord with your life.' Standing by her II see your son, and ten or twelve other spirits who wish to be remembered to you"
