You see, in her childish mind there was no partition between heaven and earth. Heaven is joined to the earth by her dear mother being there. She could see now right through to the throne of God, and her dear mother there. In those days they underwent various spiritual experiences in a most wonderful manner. Every evening their favorite hymn was that one which has in its chorus, “Our friend is waiting on the other side.” In Japanese “friend” is _tomo_, and my children changed that _tomo_ into “mama,” almost the same sound, and were singing, “Our mama is waiting on the other side.” To them the unseen world seemed so near and real that they felt as if they themselves were living in the same spiritual world with their departed mother. In the midst of such a spiritual atmosphere, how could I resist the influence pouring in upon me from the other side? You know, I had been a pastor at one time, as well as a professor of theology, so I must have known intellectually things pertaining to the spiritual world. I had not forgotten them, only they were clouded by doubt. Thus, while I was watching these spiritual experiences of my children, gradually the clouds of doubt and unbelief began to disperse, and once more heaven opened, and with my spiritual eyes I saw Jesus Christ, my Saviour and Lord, whom New Theology had taken away from me, still sitting at the right hand of God: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever.” Then I could exclaim with doubting Thomas when he saw the prints of the nails in the hands of Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus is my God, my very God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word _was_ God.” These verses of Scripture, which I had committed to memory forty years ago in Captain Janes’ Bible class, now flashed into my mind as lightning from heaven, and the whole spiritual world was once more lighted up as in the noonday. Thus I was brought back to my old simple faith by the words of my child. Indeed, “out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise.” Thus began my return.
