543. I am surrounded by every thing that can delight the eye, please the ear, and gratify the taste. I have every facility for studying all the principles in the vast universe of matter.
544. In the higher spiritual states perfect peace and tranquillity reign: no strife mars the harmony of the celestial abodes.
545. My mission is to instruct spirits in the lower circles, and to raise them from their degraded condition.
546. Every spirit follows those pursuits that are most congenial to him.
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.
C. W. H.
