Dr Sir,

Why I send you these few verses. They were composed by me. Thinking what our mission would be hereafter. These thoughts came to me.

In your article you speak of the unseen spirits & see it &[2 words illeg.] & at times I feel them very near & its joy. So it lifted me up because you speak of the same theme "believing

"Though rendered far –

By faith we meet! —

Good bye & God is with you"

[2] Ministering Angels

Shall I be a ministering angel?

When called from this world of strife;

To minister to the loved ones –

Left fighting the battle of life

Shall I be appointed the angels?

To whisper in the ears of the loved

To lead them in ways appointed –

By the Great Redeemer called "Love".

What a great thought for Father or Mother

Or sister or brother so dear!

To be winging its way back to earth –

And fill them with high thoughts so dear

For we shall be given the visions

Of the untold, that lies far beyond –

The wonderous rapture & beautys –

Beheld by those who’d passed on

But to get this by loved great endeavour –

We must work for what we receive;

So Father & Mother must be ready –

To carry the message of needs –

Our lives here must be pure & unselfish

And the best we have gathered here

Will be fourfold to us, who shall bring it

To those who remain on this earth

[3] Our garments must be bright & shining

To carry the messages true;

Between heaven & earth will be binding

Like Jacob's ladder – he viewed

And though not seen by our loved ones –

Our spirits will fondly caress –

And holding unseen their dear hands

Will lead them to rapture & rest
