dicates any direct communication
from one OF those whom We have
loved long since, and lost while.
Their spirit had never been on earth,
Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Beale were told.
differing in that respect from the ma
jority OF the spiritual guides who
were seeking to reach and help the
people OF this world. But even so one
can understand that the experience
was of the greatest possible comfort
to her.
Not without Love.
Their spirit tells them much OF con-
ditions here:
1--WE are all materially of the same
elements that we were on earth. only
less cumbrous than when there, and
being elementally the same, we have
the same emotions and life. We love
as we did then and all spiritual forces
are busy with the various works
which occupied them while they were
on earth"
And further on: There is no truth
in this-tnat we are without affection
and not interested in the world. We
love as you do. We are more inter-
csted than ever in those we loved on
earth, and our one desire is to help
them and have them with us in this
beautiful place. 1t is very beautiful
here, and all who wish listen to beau
tiful music. When we work we are
filled with JOY and we are full of love
for all. There are all kinds OF things
here which we have never known on
earth-all kinds OF flowers and trees
and birds and animals. We are never
better able to work than here. We
are after all working to our full ca
pacity as Spirits. We are all working
for the world.
when we work here we work with
our strength and until we are tired,
Then we rest in one of those beauti-
ful resting places of this land" These
had already been described with a
warning that one must not overwork
there is reason in all things and
to overwork is also breaking the law.
God made heaven and earth in six
days, and rested the seventh man
must have his periods OF rest on earth
and here. We all rest here when we
are tired, and there is a wonderful
rest here which is not like your sleep,
but which refreshes us even more. We
rest in a beautiful tableland sur
rounded by hills with little streams
OF water flowing on all sides There
we rest until we are ready to work
again. Flowers OF all sorts and OF
beauty unknown to earth are all
about us, and the welcoming guardian
of the place serves both our bodies
and our souls"
Spirit Almost Scolds.
On another occasion the spirit comes
very near to scolding ANNE" 1t is
mot able to work today" Anne is toe
tired. And when Anne is tired the
guide is not able ito use her psychic

to rest Nmore, "You must not worry
about things that do not matter. The
| hospital is not n necessary thing for
Anne. She ought to rest after lunch
and be fresh for this most important
work" Receiving the lessons Is
apparently rated of much more i'm.
portance than answering questions
Mere questions can, 1t seems some.

is tired"
They ask. will capital and labor
ever be able really to meet?" Anc
the response comes-"No. not now
both are blind. But in time the la
boring classes will sec that each one
is necessary TO the other"
The appendix is most interesting e
