547. Every spirit has a sphere of utility, and finds his true position
on entering the spheres.
Brother, the years of your external life are drawing to a close.
When your initial term is finished, you will enter upon an unending
series of moral and intellectual developments; then you will be fully
compensated for all that you have endured in the cause of truth on
earth. Your present life, remember, is but the prelude to ineffable
joys in the world beyond the grave. Thank God, your barque is not
drifting rudderless and pilotless on the great ocean of time. No! she
is well-manned and equipped, and pursues her direct course, fearing
neither Scylla nor Charybdis.
Robert, you have acted nobly and fearlessly in defending the great
cause of humanity. We are watching your movements with great interest.
Continue to devote your mental energies to the development of spiritual
facts, and we will aid you when conditions favour. Farewell.
