1 Mount Auburn Cemetery Letters and Invoices

Bar Harbor. Guy's Cliff - Aug. 5^th 1885

Q. This is our last interview as Endurance is going away. A. It has been arranged that you should have all you need. Do not regret that these communications are to end, for you need time now to digest and make part of your life what I have given you. You will always have, if you seek it, the inner light.

Q. Is there the sense of the ridiculous with you? A. Yes, every sense you have that contributes to your enjoyment is real and a part of this life. The sense however is never used as so often with you at the expense of the brother.

Q. Is it right to accept suffering & illness & misery as God's will? A. None of it is Gods will. Suffering is the result of broken law, and is it natural that a loving father should inflict it as many suppose, on his children? Fright all suffering

all disease, that is your highest mission, as it is ours and the more you conquer it, the nearer the blessed end will come for which we all so long.

Q. Do you then long? and ought not one to kill out desire?

A. Do not believe that, desire if for something good, is found even in the heart of the highest heaven.

Q. Should we indulge self- satisfaction?

A. It is not a thing that will come to you often if you keep your ideal high, but having done your best, approve of it, for God himself will say, well done good and faithful servant. Do not under value yourself either. Justice is the highest of all attributes.

Q. Why do some souls seek re-incarnation and others come back against their will?

A. There is a law for this, as for all things. Some spirits rebel against it, as some with you rebel against this birth, out of

the flesh, but all must succumb to this law. When the spirit refuses to think of its new birth into matter, it arragnes itself, and tho' there is sometimes an un willingness, during that life, to submit to circumstances, the law takes its course, but under difficulties. As with you the good citizen feels no law, only those who wish to rebel.

Q. Some one has said, you have taught us no new truths?

A. I have given you truths that were new to you, but not to all even, for truth is always to be had for the asking or seeking and many have gleaned before you in these fields.

Q. Can we see Grandmother?

A. Not now. She is not to be disturbed.

Q. Do you know that we are copying into a book what you have told us?

A. I have been told that you gave what I have taught you, much thought and

I am careful that the truths shall appear clear to your minds. Do no think too much of your own growth, do your work, and the progress will follow and in the end you will see what you have accomplished with wondering vision, that so much has sprung from what seems to you now such little things. You are as jewels in any crown, for blessed is the man who brings even one little one into the Father's kingdom.

Q. Butevery one would be thankful to be brought.

A. They all have their opportunities or, if not in what you call the now, the time will come for them, for God's time is without limit and every soul is being brought, some thro' great Darkness, into the everlasting light. See that you give freely what you have received - Give it in your life, and also seek out the ignorant and

A. Through our heaven, for he comes to us sometimes, as a great teacher does to you.

Q, Will you tell Ned of his mother?

A. She is with the other of whom you spoke - and their work is to build the city for the reception of those who every hour join their ranks from the spirit world .

Q. Are Ned's two sisters with her?

A. One is, the other is in the heaven above us.

Q. And his Grandmother?

A. She is also in our heaven, but she is in the sphere above those of her earthly family. She does well the work that is given her, which is, to make beautiful her home, which is filled with those who need her care.

Q. (Ned) Can I have a message from my mother?

A. She comes to speak without - with your angel and she wishes you to
