I am here, Luther.
I had some difficulty in writing my name, but I did not let that
difficulty deter me or prevent me from writing.
Well, I merely want to say that if things are favorable, I should
like to come tomorrow night and write you a message on the subject
of which I have before written. Well, I know, and am thankful, and
will come. Well, I am interested in the war only as a lover of all
the children of God. There is no distinction in my love between
the German and the Englishman and the Frenchman, and the mortal
of any other nation, and hence, I am not writing to you as a German,
but as a spirit in whom all distinction as to the objects of his
love has no existence.
Of course, I have been interested in the war, because I sympathize
with all mortals who may be in suffering and distress; and besides,
many spirits are coming to the spirit world before their normal
time, and all unfitted for the change from the mortal to the spirit.
The consequence is that much suffering and confusion and feelings
of hatred and revenge exist among these spirits, that otherwise
would not exist. But we spirits are powerless to prevent the dire
distress and sufferings caused to mortals by their fellows. Man
exercises his will and man must endure the consequences.
But this I will say, that I think the war will soon end and peace
be restored to earth, and I trust a greater peace than has existed
among men for a long time. Well, I must stop now. So good night
and God bless you.
Your brother in Christ,
Luther
