When the Call Comes That Leslie Needs Help
I am here, Kate Stone:
Tell my brother that what he heard a few nights ago in reference to me is true, and that I am engaged with my whole heart and soul in the work of helping the dark and suffering spirits, and when I succeed in turning some towards the light and the Father's Love, there comes to me a happiness I cannot describe.
The fact of being an instrument in the redemption of one lost soul affords greater happiness than any mortal can dream of, and when I tell my brother that I have succeeded in showing the way to many of these spirits, he may perhaps, in a small way, realize what my happiness is.
To me the work is one of the greatest that we spirits can possibly engage in, and I never get tired or disheartened, and even though sometimes I fail to convince a spirit as to the way to light and relief from his suffering, yet I never feel disappointed, for I know that sometime sooner or later that spirit will perceive the meaning of my words and they will have their effect.
But not only can I see the results of my own work, but also that of you three mortals (Mr. Padgett, Eugene Morgan and Dr. Stone), for you all help these dark spirits by your talks with them; and my brother must not think that just because he cannot write and thus be certain that the spirits are listening to him, that he cannot perform this task, for I must tell him that he does.
When he talks to them, they give him their attention and believe him, and many take his advice and seek the Father's Love through the only way it can be obtained, through earnest prayer. He will know some day what the results of his efforts are, and when he does, he will thank the Father that he was given this gift.
Tell him to continue, and even though he cannot hear their response, I will come at times to inform him of results: a soul in darkness and torment rescued by a mortal who knows the truth.
A crown of one star representing salvation of a soul is a glorious possession, but a crown of many stars bestowed for the saving of many souls is a treasure beyond description.
This crown will be his, but while it will not be one to be worn, yet it will be a crown set in the joyous countenances of spirits relieved of their sufferings and radiant in the glory of the Father's Love.
I will stop now, as Helen says you are tired and must not write more tonight. With my love, I will say good-night to you and Leslie.
KATE
Let me write a line for I desire to tell my brother that I have been with him so very often and the difficulties that have come to him at times in reference to his material affairs.
If he only knew what happiness I experience when I realize the results of his longings for the love he would know how much I love him, and how I rejoice when I see the transformation of the Divine Love and his progressing as he is doing.
This love is all so wonderful that it is impossible for me to tell him what it means to a soul that has the consciousness of its existence as I have, and how as it fills my soul I become the more desirous that it shall fill his also.
We, and I mean his parents and sisters, and of course his Mary, are with him whenever we feel that he wants us. For his desires in this particular come to us as the electric fluid fills the wire when the receiving end calls for its coming from the sending end.
We always respond and even though we may not be present with him yet our rapport is now so perfect that whenever his desires for us ascend from his heart we never fail to sense the same and respond. And as we come to him we bring all our love and happiness with us and try to make him realize the influence of the same.
There are no limitations such as we had on earth to prevent our coming and space is as it were non-existent and we are with him "IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE" in all our love and sympathy.
What a wonderful provision of the Father this all is! And how the great enemy of mortals as most men call it, I mean death, enables us to come so close to our mortal friends when they call for us. Death, as I just heard him quote, is a friend of all mortals and the great friend of spirits, for when it comes the mortal is no longer bound by the bands of the limitations of the physical but becomes as a "free bird of the air", or rather, as the stars that shoot from their courses, because we spirits have it with a greater velocity than do the shooting stars especially when love calls us.
I felt in the mood of writing as I have tonight as my soul is filled with love for my brother, and I want him to know that it is a truth, and that nothing can keep me and my love from him but he himself, and knowing this he must realize that I am always so happy when he calls for me, even if it be only a wish unexpressed or the longings of a sigh.
We are all progressing and happy beyond expression and at the same time have our wishes that his sisters and brothers may know the great truth that we, whom they suppose to be away off either in heaven or hell, are at times very close to them, so close that even the whisper of their passing thoughts cannot escape our hearing; and if they could only know this and would think of us at times when their thoughts may be taken from their earthly affairs, how we would come to them and throw around them our love and make them feel our presence.
But they do not believe that we can be with them (and throw around them our love and make them feel our presence) and especially that they can call us as I have written.
We all hope though that some day their eyes may be opened to the light and that they will consciously realize that parents and sisters are not dead, but are really living the true and immortal life.
Well, this is what I wanted to say tonight and I hope that it may do Leslie some good, and I know it will for love has never yet failed of its mission when it has found a receptive soul.
Of course he knows many things in connection with spirit life, and among them that there are different kinds of love, and that some are because of their very nature deeper and more intense than others, but nevertheless the love of a mere sister, as I am, who has the love of the Father in her soul is beyond all conception to mortals.
I will not write more now and am thankful that I could write.
is the earnest and sincere prayer of Kate, his sister
