How would you appe[ a ]
Reason: r
now?
Perfectly natural in
form & feature—
How do you account for
the different answers of spirits?
On the same principle
that you would account
for a difference of opinion –
in your sphere—the
dif-degrees of intelligence

My departure from earth

Why have not these man-

They have—but the world

Why did you smile
when you left the body?
because I saw angels
wanting to take my
spirit home
How do you go from
place to place?
