blossoms; he employs that nature-sense, with which he is considerably endowed, in order to gain an understanding of the mechanism of their growth and formation. Sometimes he lies in sunny meadows, hidden in the dewy grass, singing to himself and watching the white clouds sail slowly across the blue sky. On these occasions, in his truly natural surroundings he is exquisitely happy, and when, as time passes, the pain of separation has healed, this will be his normal condition for many years. In this world of freshness and beauty, he will continue to encounter such of his relatives as are able to reach him at night, but their participation in and enjoyment of it will depend very largely upon their ability to enter into the love of Nature, and the spirit of unselfish and impersonal worship of its beauty which is characteristic of the boy. It must be remembered that in all cases of after-death surroundings, the environment in which a person finds himself is in a very large measure an objective expression of the individual’s own nature. (1) The After-Death Condition of a learned and spiritually-minded Unitarian Minister who died from tuberculosis whilst still young. C.M., who died quite recently, appears as though still dressed in the dark clothing which he wore on earth. He seems to be taller than when in the flesh. His whole bearing is that of a man who is completely sure of himself, and his attitude is one of certainty and self-command. His expression is fearless, free, as of one who is already master of the world in which he lives. His eyes are large and lustrous, and their gaze is powerful. He gives a far greater impression of determination, strength, and supreme ability than was the case on earth. He is a man who has found that his philosophy of life has, under the great test, proved to be in the main sound and well-founded. He says: “It was two days before I realized what had happened, and I first became aware of the shining of the great light, as if I had suddenly awakened into exceptionally bright sunlight; yet even then I did not realize what had occurred. Several unknown people were about me, and the surroundings were strange. After a short time I was told the truth, and when realization came, my first feeling was one of keen disappointment; there was so much I had hoped to do. That feeling has since vanished, for I am a parson still, with a wider parish and a larger flock than I ever dreamed of, and a ministry of a new order is opened up to me. I am preparing for even greater work, full of great promise.
