I made some remark to the effect ” Is it possible that such things can be? ” and my friend replied— ” Certainly, there is no doubt that acts done in this life live on, and that their results are visible and well understood in the next life.”
My friend then said: —” Among the many spirit-forms I see about you is one apart from the rest.” He then described a beautiful female figure, her features and form, and added ” Does this convey anything to you? ” I said ” No! I can only think of a sister who died years ago.”
He at once replied “No! No! this one has been in the land of Realities a long time, as her shining garments and radiant presence signify; besides this, she shows a luminous cross above her brow, denoting her emanation from a higher sphere. I take her to be one who takes great interest in your life, and is desirous of helping you with the others who come with her.”
This fresh manifestation astounded me more than ever, and I said something to the effect that I was so astonished as to be unable to make fitting comment.
Mr. Beard then said, ” There is an elderly female form quite close to you, looking at you with loving eyes, and anxious to attract your attention.” He then described her form, features, the colour of her hair and the way it was arranged, as also her costume.
He added: “She is now calling my attention to a cap of peculiar shape she is wearing. It is flat upon the head, with large, long and broad ribbons or lappets falling from the sides of the cap to the shoulders. I have never seen a cap like it. She is still pointing to the cap as though desirous of impressing its shape and appearance upon my memory.
She is now showing me an ornament of some sort, probably a brooch, fastening a shawl or mantle she is wearing on her shoulders; she seems anxious that I should carefully remark this ornament.” He then added: ” Do you recognize this friend by the description given? ” I replied, ” God bless my soul, you have accurately described not only the features of my dear mother, but her head-dress and attire as well.”
