What have I found the most impressive fact aside from the essential spirituality of that life [in the world of spirits]? It were difficult to select.
Perhaps that Perfect Order of the Universe, which causes every soul to find its own level and exact place.
By the same unfailing law that builds the marvellous architecture of snow crystal and flower, and provides for the progress of each soul, as surely as for the sweep of the planets on their mighty course.
We are just beginning to read in the lessons of Nature and history that Providential Order, which we call Law. We have learned much of the conserving power of Nature, but it remains for the future life to reveal that nothing is lost, and that all your toil, study and self-discipline have been storing the soul with material, which when freed from the fetters of earth in the life of large opportunities will unfold to blessed use.
What joy to find what we thought lost in our weary struggle with life saved for us—stored safely away for future use.
Katherine B. Caine, Light on the Hidden Way, 1886, Boston, Ticknor and Company, 122-3
