ing that spirits on a higher plane can
descend to lower plane. but this
order cannot be reversed.

reached a very high plane The devil,
on the contrary, is merely human

type who has sunk to the lowest
sphere Of all after DEATH

periences to substantiate his state

shortly after her death. 1t lay on a

an odd mistake in spelling which she
