My mind, indeed, often dwells upon the simple beauty of the life of many of the Indian people, and my soul is therefore attuned to, and in affinity with, their souls. This being so, it would be passing strange if their spirits failed to speak with mine. ” Like attracts Like ” is the Law, and if it failed to operate here it would not be a law, but a caprice. That it is a Law and not a mere chance is demonstrable the world over, and nothing more need be said than that it must operate in this case, as in all others.

I would but add that as the East was the cradle of the human race it is not difficult to understand that the ancient representatives of Eastern peoples were more highly evolved in the spiritual-plane than those of the West.

This admitted, it becomes understandable that as many of the Eastern races have never lost touch with the power that links up the physical and psychical planes, the evolved spirits of such, having far less to unlearn in the spiritual world, may conceivably guide us with greater wisdom than the evolved spirits of Western peoples who, till quite recently, scoffed at the idea of communication being possible between the two worlds.

Here, then, is not only a fitting reply to the question —” Why should the spirits of an Eastern people be sent to spirits-incarnate in Christian bodies? ” but another striking example of God’s unerring wisdom.

Knowing my predisposition towards Eastern peoples; my firm belief in their inclusion in the Father’s Redemptive scheme, and my individual love for many an Eastern friend living and dead, it becomes clear that God’s Purpose might be better served by sending to me Messengers of Eastern origin, and presumably of a creedal faith differing essentially from my own, than had He chosen them from among discarnate-spirits of my own race and of my own religious belief.

This single question, which to many persons might appear an unimportant one, or even to bear a somewhat inconsequent aspect, becomes invested with something like miraculous properties the moment its inner-meaning be realized.
