254Mr. B.: We can’t hear any bird singing as you can; we haven’t spiritual ears yet.S.: He’s gone right back into him. I wish I knew what is the matter with my hand; itseems kind of numb.Tom: That will be all right presently; you see it was a very great shock to your spirit, dyingin the way you did (I use those terms so that you will better understand me), and the effectsof it still cling to your spirit; but in a little time this condition will pass off from you, and youwill feel better. Did you see me, Robert?S.: I saw somebody, if that was you.Tom: Yes, that was me; my name is Tom.S.: Tom who?Tom: That don’t matter now—you wouldn’t know; but you can call me Tom. I am a spirit,and I came here to control this young man and talk to you.S.: Is that what you do all the time?Tom: No, not all the time; but most of the time my work is to help spirits when they die andare not aware of their condition, that they have made the change called death, and get themacquainted with their new surroundings, and get them started a little in the new life they haveentered. Would you like to see Ned?S.: Well, I don’t know; it is kind of mysterious to me. I see something has happened tome, because I have seen things I never saw before; but I don’t understand. I remember falling,and now I remember striking; yes, I remember that very distinctly. Rob, I guess you area corpse.Tom: You are a pretty lively corpse. You are alive just the same, only you have entered anew life. It is like entering a strange city or country; you are a little mixed up. If you should go toChina, and didn’t see anything but Chinese, nor didn’t understand a word the people were saying,you would be badly mixed up. Then is it to be wondered at that, leaving your old body in thesudden manner you did, you should feel strange? I’ll tell you, Robert, I will take you and show yousome very pleasant beautiful things, and I will try and teach you as far as I can of the thingspertaining to the life you have now entered.S.: Where will you take me?Tom: I will take you to a place suited to your present condition. I will take care of you untilyou are able to walk alone.S.: Oh, I can walk very well.Tom: Yes; but I mean figuratively speaking —I mean until you understand somewhat yournew conditions and surroundings.S.: Well, I guess I will have to accept it.Tom: There are many bright, beautiful things before you.S.: I hope so.Tom: This is a beautiful life you have now entered, a life where you can learn of the wisdomand glory of this great universe; not all at once, but day by day, and hour by hour, some new lessonwill be presented to you, so you will be learning more and more of the wonderful powers which youpossess in that spark of divinity—the soul.S.: Well, I don’t know much about the divinity, but if there is anything pleasant to see Iwould like to see it.Tom: I will take you and show you some very pleasant things which will interest you.Jimmy: When you know you are right stick to it, no matter what anybody says, and you willcome out victorious. When you are through breathing through this mortal body you will see thatyou have left a light pathway behind you, and that light will be a light to others.
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1890.255We are going to materialise quite a number to-night. The one who will speak died while he wastrying on a pair of shoes. I tell you so you will understand his peculiar talk.. This one’s experience willhelp the others.—EVA.S.: I can’t get it on—it is too small. Give me another pair!Mrs. B.: Yes, you shall have another pair. Those are too small, are they?S.: Yes, they are too small. Where’s he gone?Mrs. B.: He’s gone to get another pair.S.: Tell him to bring them along—I don’t want to stay here all day!Mrs. B.: He’s just gone to get a larger pair. What number do you wear?S.: Oh, pshaw! That won’t go on me at all! Tell him to come here! Where is he?Mr. F.: He will come presently. Won’t that pair do?S.: No; they are not fit for any decent man to wear! They aren’t good for anything!Mrs. B.: Perhaps he can bring you a pair that will suit you better. What number do youwear?S.: I wear the number that fits me.Mrs. B.: He is trying to find them.S.: I should think he was making them!Mr. F.: Perhaps you will have to try some other store.S.: Well, I guess I will. I won’t wait here much longer.Mr. F.: I think it would he a good plan for you to rest a little, anyway. You look kind of pale.Don’t you feel well?S.: No, I don’t feel real good—I feel all right enough. There’s nothing the matter withme.Mr. F.: I think it is just as well for you to rest a little bit.S.: I guess I would have to rest a long time if I waited for him to come! Say, I wish youwould speak to him!Mr. F.: Are you in any particular hurry? Have you got anything special to do?S.: Why, yes! Give me my old shoes, and I will go! Where’s that old shoe I had?Mrs. B.: Maybe he took it to measure by.S.: Well, I either want a new pair of shoes or I want my old ones. I want something towear. I am not going to stand this much longer! Say, boy, go and tell that man to bring me theshoes!Tom: Just keep a little quiet.S.: Will you go and tell the man to bring me the shoes?Tom: I don’t know. I don’t work here.S.: Then what are you putting your spoon in for?Tom: I just came in and saw you were a little uneasy about your shoes, so I thought I wouldspeak to you.S.: I have been here all day, almost.Tom: It seems a good while, doesn’t it?S.: I should think it was!Tom: You will come out all right. If you don’t get your shoes, you will get something elsethat will satisfy you just as well as a pair of shoes.S.: What will it be?Tom: It will be something that will surprise you very much.S.: Oh, I guess not !—I guess not!Tom: Don’t you believe in surprises?S.: No.Tom: I think you will be very much surprised before you get through with me.S.: What are you going to do?Tom: I am going to tell you something that will interest you very much.
