Spirit loq. You are doing good work. You realize the spiritual life more fully than do many, and manifestations of its power are not necessary to you. Your gift lies in healing, in ministering to the spiritual in man through the love which shall redeem and transform the material. Persevere in this work. It shall bring faith and comfort to many. “We wish that you should help ––– in his undertaking.
