"Undoubtedly, many of them; all, indeed, that in any way helped to
elevate the human mind or immortal soul. Then, many of the rarest
minds in the earth-life, upon entering on this higher life, gain such
elevated and extended views of the subjects that have been with them
lifelong studies, that, pursuing them with zest, they write out for the
benefit of those less gifted, the higher, stronger views they have
themselves acquired, thus remaining leaders and teachers in this rarer
life, as they were while yet in the world. Is it to be expected that
the great soul who has so recently joined our ranks, whose 'Changed
Life' and 'Pax Vobiscum' uplifted so many lives while on earth, should
lay his pen aside when his clear brain and great heart have read the
mystery of the higher knowledge? Not so. When he has conned his
lessons well, he will write them out for the benefit of others, less
gifted, who must follow. Leaders there must always be, in this divine
life, as in the former life--leaders and teachers in many varied lines
of thought. But all this knowledge will come to you simply and
naturally as you grow into the new life."

And find how faithful Thou to me hast proved,

upon my memory. Of only one other will I speak at this time. As he
drew aside the gauzy gray draperies, lined with the most delicate shade
of amber, which hung before the columned doorway of a lovely room on
the second floor of the house, he said:
"Your own special place for rest and study."
