THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1890.238We will bring a lady to-night .—EVA.S.: Oh, friends! friends!Friends: Good evening!S.: Good evening! Oh dear! oh dear!Mr. F.: What is the matter?S.: Oh dear! What will I do? What will I do?Mr. F.: Can we help you?S.: I don’t know.Mr. F.: What is the matter?S.: I can’t do anything. I don’t know; I cannot understand it; I suppose it must be that Iam dead. I cannot be reconciled. It must not be—it must not be.Mr. F.: You are not dead. You are just as much alive as ever you were.S.: Oh dear! It is the most dreadful thing that ever was.Mr. F.: What is, to die?S.: Why, certainly it is.Mr. F.: Why, no, it can’t be such a dreadful thing.S.: Oh, yes, it is. You don’t know anything about it. It is dreadful!Mr. F.: You have entered a life now that is very beautiful.S.: Oh, no. You are only cut off and deprived of everything you loved. I tell you, dearfriends, you don’t know what it is.Mr. F.: There is a beautiful life before you that you don’t see now.S.: I cannot understand it.Mr. F.: We feel very sorry for you, and we will assist you all we can.S.: I don’t suppose you can assist me.Mr. F.: Haven’t you any friends that have died that you would like to see?S.: Yes; I had a world of friends, but I can’t make them see me.Mr. F.: In a short time your friends will come where you are; because, don’t you know, weall of us have to make that change? I think it will be better for you to try and look about you, andinterest yourself in something in the life you are in now.S.: How can I be interested when every interest is in this world, and I am so that I can’t takehold of anything? Why, it is the most dreadful thing you ever knew.Mr. F.: It must be, and we feel very sorry for you; but you must realise that someone istaking very great interest in you, because you are communicating with people that have not madethe change; we are mortals.S.: Is that so?Mr. F.: Yes; and there are laws of communicating with mortals, and you can learn thoselaws.S.: You just tell him to come right here; I want to speak to him.Mr. F.: Who?S.: James.Mr. F.: I don’t know him. You are a perfect stranger to us, and we are sitting here for thepurpose of communicating with spirits.S.: It was so hard to die. I was determined I wouldn’t die.Mr. F.: That has made it hard for you.Mr. B.: Haven’t you friends in spirit life, who have gone before you, that you would like tosee?S.: I have friends, yes.Mr. B.: Wouldn’t you like to see them?S.: Oh, I have most forgotten them; the world was so dear to me.
239Mrs. B.: This gentleman has a daughter over there, and she wouldn’t come back here foranything.S.: Perhaps she wasn’t situated as I was.Mrs. B.: She had everything that heart could wish for.S.: I feel she must have felt bad.Mrs. B.: She felt bad, of course, when she went out; but now she wouldn’t come back, it is sobeautiful where she is. You will see her; she told us you were coming here to-night. She is abeautiful angel.S.: I haven’t seen her.Mrs. B.: You will see her.Tom: See here, Miss Nellie.S.: Yes, sir.Tom: Do you know that little Lulu is here?S.: I don’t see her.Tom: No, you don’t see her, but she is here.S.: I would like very much to see her.Tom: She’s a dear little creature. You loved her, didn’t you?S.: I loved her—I love her—I do love her.Tom: And she loves you; and, do you know, she is real glad you have come to her.S.: She shouldn’t feel glad, because she must know what a disappointment it was to me—that it was good for me to stay.Tom: She loves you so much, and she knows and realises that your body was diseased, andcould not bold your spirit any more; and had you got well you would always have been an invalid;you couldn’t have gone about the way you did before you got sick.S.: Do you really believe that?Tom: I know it. Lulu told me that, had you not died, you would always have been an invalid;and then James would have tired of you.S.: I don’t think he could. How could he? How could he?Tom: He would have tired of you because you couldn’t go around the way you used to; and,you know, he was a frivolous fellow, always wanting to be on the go.S.: He was full of life, but he was not frivolous.Tom: In that way he was; and, let me tell you, you will bless the day you entered the new life.Grandma Perkins is glad you have come.S.: Oh dear! Oh dear!Tom: Don’t you remember Grandma?S.: Why, certainly I do.Tom: You have lots of folks over here that love you. You don’t know half the beautifulthings in the life you have now entered.S.: I don’t see them.Tom: No, because you are in such an excited condition. You didn’t want to die.S.: I didn’t want to die. I was right there. It was not right to take me away.Tom: You know, you were careless and reckless, and took that cold and had that cough.S.: Who plays the piano?Mrs. B.: I don’t know.S.: That is beautiful, isn’t it?Mrs. B.: I can’t hear it.Mr. B.: That music is for you. It is heavenly music.S.: It is heavenly—very. I guess the gentleman knows who plays, don’t you?Tom: Oh, yes; that is Flora!S.: Dear! dear! Isn’t that lovely?Tom: You remember Flora?S.: Why, certainly I do! Can she play like that?Tom: She can now.S.: Oh, that is beautiful!
