Life and labor in the spirit world: Being a description of localities, employments, surroundings, and conditions in the spheres.
Longley, Mary T. (Mary Theresa)
Spirit writings; Spirits
ignorance by experience, made even peaceful through his power and desire
to assist others, Beulah brought to him the sweet spirit, now grown a
beautiful woman, whom he had sent untimely into the spirit world, to be
his teacher, helper, and guide.
He could bear to look upon the sweet face now, could humbly listen to
the teachings of one so pure and good; all wretchedness and misery which
it was possible for him to experience had been passed, and therefore he
was prepared to accept the ministrations of this beautiful being in lieu
of those of Beulah, whose duty called her elsewhere. And thus, harmony
of life was restored to the broken soul; the presence of the one he had
injured only served to make him more humble in spirit, self-sacrificing
and benign, charitable, pitiful, and tender to the erring and degraded
wherever they were to be found. Beulah departed to her celestial home,
where a glad, fond welcome awaited her; but the soul she had blessed
remained in his own spirit home, not to grow idle or neglectful of
others, but to do unto those in need as he had been done by; to impart
strength, courage, and knowledge to his fellows while still continuing
to advance in spiritual attainments himself.
You may wonder what connection the spirit brought to this man by Beulah
had with his work. The child maiden was not with him all the time, other
good spirits were associated with him in his home and his work; but
whenever she felt that she could be of use to him, this sweet spirit
would come and lead him to whatever place she felt there was a lesson
awaiting his spirit. Sometimes it would be to spots on earth where
spirit help was required by suffering mortals; sometimes to haunts in
spirit life where a higher influence was required by struggling souls,
and sometimes to the homes of little children in the Summer-land, whose
happy, peaceful lives afforded a valuable lesson to the observing
spirit. From all these experiences he of whom I write gathered power,
strength, and light to go on with his work.
THE REFORMED SPIRIT RETURNS TO EARTH TO REFORM OTHERS.
