Life and labor in the spirit world: Being a description of localities, employments, surroundings, and conditions in the spheres.
Longley, Mary T. (Mary Theresa)

From the colored people assembled to pay their tribute of love and
respect to his memory; from the hearts of earnest women, who speak in
solemn sweetness of his helpfulness and cheer; from the souls of good
men and women everywhere, who loved and honored him; from the soul of
that silver-tongued friend[7] and orator who dares to stand forth and
pay honest, just, and loving tribute as a fitting eulogy to his departed
friend; from the pure and loving heart of that peaceful poet soul[8] who
sings in rhymed sweetness the honor of his friend;—from all these
ascended those emanations of light and beauty and fragrance. Musical
with the silvery sweetness borne from the souls of friends on earth,
they bathed his spirit in a fount of eternal joy and blessing.

are all his, and already his soul is marching on in the ranks of those
lofty ones whose mission is to toil on until man becomes uplifted into
the sphere of universal Love; until all wrong shall flee, tyranny die,
and liberty and knowledge dwell in the homes of all people.
Press on, noble soul! The victor’s palm is thine, for thou hast
witnessed the triumph of justice and right; the crown of glory is thine,
for thy soul is crowned with the diadem of perfect Love.
Press on, white-robed soul! for the bright fruition that awaits thee!

Angels_. We have alluded to letters of approval and of interest

of these correspondents is here given, for the reason that it was penned
by one intimately acquainted with Mr. Prince in earthly life, and
familiar with the general style of his compositions:—
“NEPHI, UTAH, Sept. 6, 1878.
