Do we keep our relationships in heaven?

Are the relationships of earth, such as husband and wife, parents and children, et cetera, preserved or recognised in the spirit world?

They are. Did you not have an instance of that last night and ever since I came here? (evidently referring to the presence of the female spirit, Margaretta, his wife that should have been, but who died at an early age).

A good old friend of mine came to us at our early sittings and said he was in a different sphere from that in which his wife was—but certainly they did not harmonise in character on earth.

I did not say that persons who are totally different in character were on the same level here. In many families you may witness some children serving God and others serving the devil. Could you expect them to be on the same level? But they may come together again.

Do you mean by that that they may come together for a short time?

No—when they rise, they never again fall.
