I will pass over a number of minor manifestations of the actual existence of several other friends included in that number of spirit-forms which my friend told me were about me when he first informed me of their presence, for the reason that I have so much to relate that, unless I confine myself to but one or two of the more prominent features of these spiritual manifestations, I shall prolong this narrative indefinitely.
Connected with the appearance of these spirit-friends I was struck with the remarkably practical course they invariably took in picturing some incident in our joint earth-life, which they had good reason to know I should remember. One of these was a country scene in India.
Two horsemen were standing beside a horse which had evidently met with an accident; the saddle, which was lying on the ground, was damaged, the girths were broken and one of the horsemen was more or less hurt. The features of both horsemen were obscured by the large sun-hats they wore. This picture then faded and gave place to another. I only mention this one instance because it is a well-known scene out of my own life.
It occurred tome in India on Christmas Day, 1866 or 1867, the particulars of which I need not relate. I would add this is the only incident of the kind in my life which exactly fits the picture. It is memorable to me because I nearly lost my life on that occasion. The friend who came to my aid on that occasion died several years ago.
On resuming conversation with my new-found friend I expressed great astonishment at the phenomena with which I had been favoured, and he expressed himself as being pleased with the satisfactory result, because it was evident that these spirit-friends were desirous of establishing communication with me, and it was gratifying to him to know that the evidence afforded by them was clear and intelligible.
He added—” You are fortunate in getting such clear evidence of the actual existence of your mother and wife on another plane of life at such an early period of your psychic experiences, because such evidential testimony does not, in all cases, stand out so clearly as in this, and it is evident that the “conditions” are very favourable. I am only thankful that I have been the means of bringing you together, and if I can be of further service to you at any time you may command me.”
