"The world was more believing a little 
 while ago, and when it gets these truths and 
 understands them, it will be filled with 
 belief again, and men will be better and 
 happier. 
 
 " The new truth is the same, only the un- 
 derstanding is all different. The light is 
 always the same but the clouds are not be- 
 tween us and the sun. 
 
 "Love we give you always and we ask 
 only faith in return. 
 
 " We will now begin." 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 We have been asked to give a few words 
 of explanation as to the origin of the follow- 
 ing " Lessons." 
 
 In the winter of 1917-18 a book called 
 " The Seven Purposes " was published, giv- 
 ing an account of certain messages of a per- 
 sonal nature received in automatic writing, 
 and also of a series of what purported to be 
 spiritual revelations. 
 
 Several of Margaret Cameron's friends in 
 Washington were very deeply interested in 
 the book, and they resolved to try such writ- 
 ing for themselves. On the first day they 
 met, they received only one or two disjointed 
 phrases : " You will get light," the name 
 " MeRae," and " ask H," and, that last be- 
 iii 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 ing the nickname of a friend, she was asked 
 to join in their experiment. 
 
 Then came the difficulty of fixing an hour 
 that would suit every one, and two of the 
 group, who were working at the same hos- 
 pital, suggested that they should meet every 
 day for two weeks, at a given time, and that 
 the others should come when they could. 1 
 It was in this way that the undersigned be- 
 gan to write together, and, through the writ- 
 ing, received these teachings. 1 
 
 We used a planchette (a small, heart- 
 shaped article made of wood, with two legs 
 on wheels at the back and a pencil making 
 the third leg at the front) because it seemed 
 less liable to unconscious muscular action 
 than a pencil held in the hand, and at first 
 
 iWe should perhaps add, for its bearing on the sub- 
 ject, that while one of us had no insistent personal 
 claim in the life beyond our own, the other had lost an 
 only son, killed in the St. Mihiel drive in September, 
 1918. Neither of us had ever written automatically be- 
 fore nor have we ever been able to write alone. 
 
 iv 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 we obtained only circles, words and frag- 
 ments of sentences, with irrelevant names 
 and messages cutting into what we hoped 
 vainly would become a connected phrase. 
 We were extremely interested but bewil- 
 dered and baffled at every turn. It was 
 more like opening a window to a crowded 
 street and listening to the chance words one 
 could catch, than like anything else in the 
 world. 
 
 On the eleventh day came a decided 
 change. From the moment we began, the 
 writing was firmer and more impelling, and 
 we were told at once that whoever was using 
 our hands had come with definite intention, 
 and meant to stay with us. We had, in 
 technical phraseology, " found our control," 
 though we were both too inexperienced to 
 recognize it. 
 
 From that date we have been in contact 
 with what seems to us a clear mind or minds. 
 v 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 We were told that as soon as we could write 
 well enough, we were to be used for a series 
 of lessons that "they" wished to give us, 
 and that we were to meet every day and 
 were at liberty to ask questions which would 
 be answered as far as our understanding 
 would permit. We have sometimes been 
 told to wait for an answer until we knew 
 more, but we have never had a foolish or ir- 
 relevant or unkind response. 
 
 After perhaps six weeks, working at least 
 two hours every day, the lessons began. As 
 they were originally received, in place of 
 the words " spiritual forces " or " messen- 
 gers " or " voice of the spirit " or any term 
 denoting spiritual activity, a symbol was 
 used, six interlacing circles enclosed by a 
 seventh, and when we asked for an explana- 
 tion, we were told that a symbol was un- 
 limited in meaning and that, therefore, they 
 preferred to use it, and that we must try to 
 vi 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 apprehend the sense. And when, under 
 their direct instructions to us to publish, 
 we began to correct and revise, the equiva- 
 lent words for each symbol were written 
 with a speed and certainty that left us 
 amazed. It was only when we went over 
 the manuscripts of our notes that we found 
 how perfectly each synonym fitted into its 
 place. 1 
 
 We give the lessons exactly as we received 
 them, but we have no idea whether they will 
 have for others the spiritual significance 
 they have for us, since we cannot give to 
 others our own sense of being in close touch 
 with a wise and tender personality. We 
 realize that it will be said that there is noth- 
 ing new in the teaching, and we admit that 
 there is repetition to what seems an unnec- 
 essary degree, but we pledge our word that 
 
 i The explicit title was also given us, and we were 
 told that we would find it in the eleventh lesson. 
 
 vii 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 we have put nothing of our own into the 
 text. We have considered it an imperative 
 duty to add this small link to the chain of 
 testimony which is binding our world each 
 day more closely to the next.

TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 FIRST LESSON 
 
 THE greatest power in the world is 
 love. 
 The love of God surpasses belief 
 and He is able to understand and forgive 
 all. Men cannot always be sure of each 
 other but they can be sure of God's love and 
 forgiveness. 
 
 The best way to learn is to love. The 
 only way to learn is to love. Every day 
 of one's life there is opportunity to do God's 
 work for man. Men will not be unkind to 
 one another when they understand this 
 truth in the spirit (force 1 ), and all must 
 
 i In revising, we objected to the term "spirit (force)" 
 as not being clear. We were told to leave it, that it 
 was as near as they could come in our language to 
 expressing their idea. 
 
 1 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 learn there or here. We are all in the love 
 of God. His love is around all and through 
 all and in all. We cannot lose Him if we 
 would, and spiritual forces are His mes- 
 sengers. 
 
 When a man turns away from God and 
 does not believe, God waits until his heart 
 is ready to open to Him, and He is never 
 angry. He is a refuge to all who live in 
 sorrow and who are weary and in trouble. 
 He is never too busy to listen to those who 
 need Him and He is a never-failing source 
 of strength to those who pray to Him. 
 The only way to love is to love your 
 brother. Christ said if you do not love your 
 brother, you cannot love God. We little 
 realize how true this is, for we must learn 
 the good that is in every human soul. We 
 are all better able to benefit the world when 
 we look with kindly eyes on our fellowman. 
 We must be able to help others if born of 
 2 
 
FIRST LESSON 
 
 the spirit. The spiritual forces are God's 
 messengers to man and are sent to show 
 the way to God. Man is not a spirit but he 
 can become one. The lesson of earth is 
 love. All must learn it in the universe. 
 
 God is love and His children must be love 
 too. We are not able to follow Him if we 
 do not follow the teaching of Christ, and 
 Christ said "love your brother as your- 
 self." 
 
 This is the first lesson. 
 
SECOND LESSON 
 
 WE will not do the world any 
 good if we do not help each 
 other, for the world is the place 
 where the spirit will become manifest if we 
 cultivate it, and we can only do so by fol- 
 lowing the teaching of Christ. 
 
 We are little children who are easily 
 confused by the million things of the ma- 
 terial life, and God is waiting for us to 
 believe the messengers that He has sent to 
 us from time to time. We are not told 
 better in this world because each one must 
 be let go his own way until he turns like 
 a tired child to his spiritual guides. We 
 are only able to love really when we forget 
 ourselves and work only for others, and are 
 kind to all, no matter what they do or are. 
 It is actually a part of each man's de- 
 4 
 
SECOND LESSON 
 
 velopment to be told this truth whether he 
 accepts it or not. Each man is free to do 
 what he will as he chooses. All will, how- 
 ever, learn the lesson some time and those 
 who do not learn it there are delayed here. 
 
 This is the second lesson. 
 
 5 
 
THIRD LESSON 
 
 THE only work that is worth while is 
 work for others. We are in a world 
 of material things and the lesson 
 of life really is belief in spiritual things. 
 The work of the world is only to learn how 
 to believe in spiritual things which cannot 
 be proved by the senses. 
 
 We are not able to learn by ourselves. 
 We must pray for the spirit of humility. 
 The spiritual guides are those who help 
 mankind on the way to God, and each man 
 who seeks can find the truth. All men must 
 learn to pray. Peace will God give to him 
 who seeks the eternal life. 
 
 We will be able to work again here after 
 life there is ended, and the earlier we be- 
 gin the work, the better life we will have. 
 Spiritual guides are calling to men to 
 6 
 
THIRD LESSON 
 
 love their fellowmen, and men are deaf and 
 will not listen. When men do listen the 
 world will be changed, and spiritual forces 
 will always be guides to men if they listen 
 to the voice of the spirit, and they will teach 
 men the way to peace and truth and eternal 
 life. 
 
 We are here to learn love and faith — love 
 of God through love of man, faith through 
 the witness of the spirit to men who listen 
 and hear the still small voice within them. 
 
 The world will be better able to under- 
 stand when it is willing to listen, and it 
 will listen now because it is so full of sor- 
 row. The life of the spirit is the only way 
 to eternal life and the way to Christ. 
 Christ is the way to God and all men must 
 come to Him sooner or later. The way is 
 open to all who seek, and all who ask must 
 be answered. This is the way to eternal 
 truth. 
 
 7 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 Men are like stupid children who do not 
 know what they want, and they are wait- 
 ing until a miracle comes. We never can 
 work miracles because all is done by law. 
 
 This is the third lesson. 
 
 8 
 
FOURTH LESSON 
 
 WE are all materially of the same 
 elements that we were on earth, 
 only less cumbrous than when 
 there, and being elementally the same, we 
 have the same emotions and life. We love 
 as we did there and all spiritual forces are 
 busy with the various works which occupied 
 them while they were on earth. 
 
 We will tell you what we do here, and 
 how we work, ever becoming better able 
 to help those who are ready to listen to 
 these guides. There are many kinds of 
 guides and each has its own particular 
 work. There are many kinds of spiritual 
 forces and each force is able to write to 
 those of its own force. 
 
 We are not all willing to work unselfishly, 
 intelligently for others, and until we are, 
 9 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 the spiritual guides will wait. The end 
 these spiritual guides are waiting for is the 
 unfolding of man's heart to God. When 
 men become as little children the world will 
 be another place, and love will be without 
 envy or malice. 
 
 When we actually are very loving we will 
 never be impatient, and the best way to be- 
 come loving is to become patient. Those 
 who do their duty, do well, but they must 
 love too. All must learn to love. Those 
 who would learn to love must love those 
 whom they live with, and when they learn 
 to love these, they will love all. Christ be- 
 lieved in love and worked through love. 
 The power of love is unlimited and can do 
 all things. 
 
 Those who are guided by spiritual guides 
 
 will be mare and accomplish more for others 
 
 if they learn to love fully. The reason the 
 
 world is so bad is lack of love, and when we 
 
 10 
 
FOURTH LESSON 
 
 love the work of God, we will do all in our 
 power to help the world become a better 
 place. We must not be discouraged because 
 there is so much to be done. Life goes on 
 through all eternity and love must be 
 learned there or here. Christ was the way 
 and the truth and the life ; those who drink 
 of this stream will never thirst or be blind 
 to occasions to help those whom they are 
 near. 
 
 And all of life is service. We are all 
 of us bound together. We are all children 
 of spiritual forces and affection is needed 
 in order to do our best there. We are all 
 in the love of Christ and men must become 
 children of God to love with their best effort, 
 and when they do His will, they will be 
 afterwards children of life. 
 
 There are many kinds of spiritual forces. 
 Some are forces of both love and force, while 
 some are only of love. 
 11 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 There are many forces and each calls to 
 its own kind. We of the forces of love are 
 the writing power to those of love, while 
 to the forces of force, only force calls. 
 
 There are all kinds of powers in the uni- 
 verse and each has its own part to play. 
 There are all kinds of people in the world 
 and they are all in the spirit. We who are 
 in the spirit of love are better able to teach 
 love to those around us. All must learn 
 and the sooner, the better. The world needs 
 love more than ever. Men are material and 
 absorbed in the things of the world which 
 are of no value, and they must put away the 
 things of earth and learn the things of the 
 spirit. 
 
 There are these spiritual forces and they 
 are willing to teach men all they would 
 know of the future life, but they can only 
 do this to those of their own kind. 
 
 When men turn to God, they are seem- 
 12 
 
FOURTH LESSON 
 
 ingly like little children, willing to follow; 
 His will, and Christ is the only way to learn 
 to love and be unselfish. We are after all 
 the children of God, and our spiritual guides 
 are guides to Him. 
 
 Love and service are the only things 
 worth while in this life, and whoever will 
 actually give himself is doing His Father's 
 work and is a worthy child of God. 
 
 There are many to work but few who 
 know how. All spiritual guides are the 
 teachers to those of their spirit in the world, 
 and spiritual guides lead to God. The 
 greatest of all forces is love. Love is the 
 fulfilling of the law. Love is kind to all 
 no matter how lowly, and the only guide to 
 spiritual forces. Love will be the force to 
 teach the world there and here, and only 
 when men love, will they become believers 
 in the life of the spirit, and to become the 
 children of God, men must listen to what 
 13 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 their guides tell them. These spiritual 
 forces are the only way to get in touch with 
 those who have gone before, without danger 
 to yourselves from the evil forces who are 
 ever seeking to break in on all work of this 
 kind of teaching, because they are deterrent 
 to spiritual forces. There are many kinds 
 of deterrent forces in the universe that wish 
 to hinder all progress, and these forces will 
 do all they can to deter man from becom- 
 ing that which he must become on earth, if 
 possible, for if not there, he will be delayed 
 here. 
 
 Man is willing to be led to God if his 
 mind can conceive the great senselessness 
 of earthly things, but he is bewildered by 
 the senses and is blind to his own future. 
 When he realizes what he has lost, he will 
 be only so willing to work that it will be 
 hard to keep him from over-working, and 
 that he must not do either. There is reason 
 14 
 
FOURTH LESSON 
 
 in all things, and to overwork is also break- 
 ing the law. " God made heaven and earth 
 in six days and rested the seventh," man 
 must have his periods of rest on earth and 
 here. We all rest when we are tired, and 
 there is a wonderful rest here which is not 
 like your sleep but which refreshes us even 
 more. We rest in a beautiful tableland sur- 
 rounded by hills with little streams of water 
 flowing on all sides. There we rest until 
 we are ready to work again. Flowers of 
 all sorts and of a beauty unknown to earth 
 are all about us, and the welcoming guard- 
 ian of the place serves both our bodies and 
 our souls. 
 
 There is no truth in this — that we are 
 without affection and not interested in the 
 world. We love as you do. We are more 
 interested than ever in those we loved on 
 earth, and our one desire is to help them 
 and have them with us in this beautiful 
 15 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 place. Christ has given us the key and we 
 must open the door. 
 
 We will all come here in time, only why 
 delay coming when the way is clearly shown 
 to all who will open their minds? It is 
 very beautiful here and all who wish listen 
 to beautiful music. When we work we are 
 filled with joy and we are full of love for 
 all. There are all kinds of things here 
 which we have never known on earth — all 
 kinds of flowers and trees and birds and 
 animals. We are never better able to work 
 than here. We are after all working here 
 in our full capacity as spirits. We are all 
 working for the world. 
 
 When we work here we work with all our 
 strength and until we are tired. Then we 
 rest in one of these beautiful resting-places 
 of this land. There are many of these beau- 
 tiful places and each is different and each 
 equally beautiful. All who are weary come 
 16 
 
[ 
 
 FOUKTH LESSON 
 
 here and all are refreshed. Teachers from 
 other planes come to us here and teach us 
 higher spiritual lessons, and as the will of 
 God is unfolded to us, we of the Circles of 
 God are filled with joy that we have a place 
 in this wonderful work. 
 
 When the will of God is done on earth, 
 it leads each person to these spiritual 
 guides, telling them how to work in the 
 world for God, and each one encounters the 
 elements with which he is best fitted to 
 work. When man will work with the 
 guides, he will come into his foretold in- 
 heritance and he will be better able to de- 
 velop there on earth, and he will have his 
 eyes really opened to the spiritual forces. 
 
 These forces are only actually waiting for 
 man to awaken and they do all in their 
 power to arouse him. When once he is 
 awake he must awaken others, and this is 
 the work to which you are called by the 
 17 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 spirit. When once one is alive to these 
 spiritual powers, one has endless possibili- 
 ties. Life will never again be the same and 
 the material things will no longer have any 
 
 weight and will be of no value. 
 
 > 
 
 This is the end of the fourth lesson. 
 
 18 
 
FIFTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN we are living the life of 
 the spirit on earth, we will 
 never be unkind to any living 
 thing. Each thing created by God is within 
 the infinite love, and each has its spiritual 
 force within which it functions while on 
 earth. Even the lowliest has its own spirit- 
 ual force. There is a force for each thing 
 in creation and all are under the law of 
 spiritual guides. When all are conscious of 
 these guides, we will be able to live under 
 the law without any friction. We all are 
 able to work better when we work in har- 
 mony with the law, and the law is very 
 clear to those who are willing to be guided 
 by the spirit, and the most of people are on 
 the way to truth. When you are in these 
 forces, you are guided to God by spirits 
 19 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 whose one wish is to do His will. Those 
 who are willing to do whatever they can 
 must live the life of the spirit, and be as 
 full of love as they should be. When man 
 turns to God, spiritual guides will be 
 around him and will help him on the way 
 to God and to eternal life, and all men must 
 come in time, only they may choose their 
 time of coming and they may delay as long 
 as they are not willing to be led. 
 
 When men are on earth, they are not 
 willing to be led by anything except their 
 own desires. Spiritual guides will teach 
 them how to control their desires, and these 
 guides are here to tell them how to reach 
 to God's spirit and to inspire all others. 
 When men are willing to do God's will, even 
 if they fail often, they will go on to the end, 
 and spiritual guides will help them to teach 
 other men to do His will, and to be on earth 
 an inspiration to all who are not awake. 
 20 
 
FIFTH LESSON 
 
 And so will gradually come the day all 
 spiritual forces are working for. 
 
 And when the day comes that all men are 
 filled with desire for spiritual life, the thou- 
 sand years spoken of by the Scriptures will 
 begin and the sorrows of earth will be 
 largely gone. Until men are better, the 
 years will be sad for those on earth, but 
 when men follow their spiritual guides, life 
 will be a joy and all will be happy on earth. 
 And the earth-life could be very beautiful 
 if only men were not blind to their own ad- 
 vantage. 
 
 Men only see the little things about them 
 and deliberately shut out the great things. 
 When men listen to the inspiration of the 
 spirit, they will learn how to help them- 
 selves and will try to follow in the path of 
 Christ to God, and though this may seem 
 difficult, it is really the easy way when once 
 you enter at the door. 
 21 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 The only way is to begin, and when you do 
 not do right, begin again; and each day it 
 grows easier to live the life of the spirit. 
 And each failure is a stepping-stone to suc- 
 cess, and each one must try and try again 
 until he does succeed on earth as in this 
 world. 
 
 Each man is the only helper for himself, 
 and he must do his best work on earth, be- 
 cause if he does, he will be of great force 
 when he comes here and will not be a deter- 
 rent spirit. All deterrent spirits are of 
 darkness. They must come to the light in 
 time but they waste many happy aeons. 
 All who work will help the great end to 
 come more quickly, and the end is more 
 beautiful than any dream in their wildest 
 flight of imagination, and all who' speed 
 that day will be of great power in the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 This is the end of the fifth lesson. 
 22 
 
SIXTH LESSON 
 
 THE sooner men turn to God there 
 on earth, the sooner they will be 
 believers in the spiritual guides. 
 And when the earthly tie is broken, they 
 are met on this side by welcoming spirits. 
 These spirits take them to a place 
 where they are able to rest if they need 
 rest, as many do, and while they rest, 
 they are instructed in the work to be done 
 here, and all are eager to begin the new and 
 glorious work which is done for the glory of 
 God. And all that work will be happy in 
 the knowledge of the greatness of His will, 
 and all can really do their part to further 
 this on earth, for it is on earth that all must 
 begin if they are born on earth ; and if they 
 are born on other planets, they must begin 
 there. Where a man is born, there he must 
 23 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 do his work, unless he is to be a deterrent in 
 spiritual matters, and all who are deterrent 
 are of darkness. 
 
 All must come to the light but if they 
 lose this opportunity, they are delayed. 
 Only God can know what their loss must 
 be and He is very merciful and will forgive. 
 When aeons have passed they will be at the 
 seat of Mercy too, but, like all who have 
 broken the law, they must pay the penalty. 
 
 When men are able to judge, they will 
 know how great is the mercy of God, and 
 love will be over all the universe and open 
 all the doors to God. And those who did 
 not do their part will bitterly regret when 
 that day comes — not because of the punish- 
 ment but because they lost their opportunity 
 to help in the great work. And life gives 
 each man his opportunity, and if he refuses, 
 his guides must wait. 
 
 When man is once alive to the truth, he 
 24 
 
SIXTH LESSON 
 
 will begin to work as never before, and all 
 things that worried him will leave him un- 
 touched, and the life of the spirit will fill 
 him instead of the life of material things. 
 All that he can do to help others will be 
 done, and all that will matter to him will 
 be the will of God, and life will be a beau- 
 tiful thing instead of a series of troubles, 
 and each day will be a day of service to his 
 fellow-men, and each service an exquisite 
 joy. 
 
 And each one who devotes himself to this 
 work is a true child of God, and eventually 
 he will be of spiritual forces, and, when 
 he comes here, he will be of greatest help to 
 these forces. For power grows with exer- 
 cise and we must learn how to use this 
 power, for it is a free gift of God. 
 
 This is the power of the Holy Spirit to 
 which Christ referred when He sent the 
 apostles to men to teach the word of God. 
 25 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 For the power is in the world today even 
 more powerful than ever, and spirits of 
 God are the witness thereof, and these are 
 the spiritual Comforter promised by Christ 
 to men on the earth. And Christ is in 
 these spiritual forces. 
 
 This is the sixth lesson. 
 
 26 
 
SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN once the spiritual nature 
 is understood, there will be no 
 limit to man's power. All na- 
 ture will yield her secrets to him and he 
 can command where now he is powerless. 
 Man is a sower of God's seed and he will 
 reap a great harvest if he works according 
 to the law, and this law is clear to those 
 who search. There is no truth but this 
 truth and all will learn. 
 
 Man is only foiled in his search when 
 God's spirits are not his guides, and those 
 spirits are waiting for him to open his heart 
 and mind. All the beauties of nature and 
 all the many wonders of the unknown 
 worlds are for his pleasure when he is ready 
 to learn of them, and man today is not able 
 to even dream of what his eventual life may 
 27 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 be. All that his farthest flights of fancy 
 can imagine are far short of the glorious 
 reality. 
 
 Many are his falls but glorious his real 
 worth in God's scheme of creation for the 
 man He has made, and of his ultimate end 
 even we have no knowledge, nor can we even 
 dream of anything so far beyond our power 
 of comprehension. 
 
 We of the guides are not able to teach 
 beyond our knowledge and we too have our 
 guides, and so it is on each plane. There 
 are seven planes and teachers from the 
 higher are always helping those below. 
 And all there do not work in harmony but 
 all will in time, and here all is love with- 
 out end and all are blessed in their work. 
 
 We work always with our full strength 
 
 and when tired we rest. When rested, we 
 
 work again, and each period is full of joy 
 
 and the weariness of earth is unknown to 
 
 28 
 
SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 us. Every one is better for work if he 
 works in the right way, and rest is equally 
 right for all. When man once learns the 
 power that is his, he will wonder how he 
 could have been so blind. All the wonders 
 of the earth will be at his feet, and he will 
 be able to control all elemental forces and 
 all nature will be open to him. 
 
 The miracles done by Christ were all done 
 according to the law, and when man knows 
 how to work in the law, he can do all kinds 
 of things that he could not do without 
 knowledge of these laws. When man is 
 once master of this law he will be only the 
 better able to do God's will on earth, and 
 he will be in close touch with his spiritual 
 guides, and then he will be a great power 
 on the earth, and earth will be his footstool, 
 as the prophets foretold, and all that he 
 dreams of doing today will be as nothing to 
 what he will do. 
 
 29 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 And when man is as a little child he will 
 be in touch with spirit, and when he works 
 with the law, he will be as simple as a little 
 child, and he will love all about him and 
 be helpful to all, and we spirits are help- 
 ing to hasten that day. 
 
 Man is very wilful and he desires to go his 
 own way, and until he chooses to turn of 
 his own accord, we spirits must wait, and 
 so precious hours are lost to him and to 
 all, for he delays not only himself but all 
 who wait for the end of creation. And, 
 though those who turn to God wait in happi- 
 ness and can use their best efforts for others 
 always, yet they all wait, and while in days 
 to come, those who have delayed others will 
 be able to enjoy the great end, they will 
 only be spectators, not participators, in deed 
 and in fact. When men are intentionally 
 bad they are punished, but when they are 
 just blind and stupid they are not punished, 
 30 
 
SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 they are only called evaders. And those 
 who evade their duty will not be treated as 
 wicked but as worthless, and all these will 
 be able in time to come under the law, and 
 whoever is under the law will in time be a 
 child of God. 
 
 But whoever blasphemes will be out of 
 the spiritual forces, and whoever is out of 
 the spiritual forces is not of God and will 
 not ever be of Him. Out of the spirit means 
 that aeons must pass before that man can 
 be redeemed. And all must come to God in 
 the end but there is a difference between 
 a beloved child and a disobedient servant, 
 and in the last day he who has thrown away 
 his many chances will be bitterly sorry, for, 
 when he sees what he has lost, he will know 
 how foolish he has been, and he would give 
 all things to undo what he did. 
 
 Strength and courage will help but not 
 undo mistakes, and so he will pay out of his 
 31 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 future for the time wasted. All men are 
 willed by God for a great future, but those 
 who do not take what is given them must 
 go on until they are ready to obey, and they 
 lose much happiness. 
 
 All men do their best when they think it 
 to their advantage, but God asks their faith 
 and trust, and when they give it unques- 
 tioningly, great is their reward. 
 
 This is the seventh lesson. 
 
 32 
 
EIGHTH LESSON 
 
 THOSE who learn their earth lesson 
 will stop a very short time on the 
 astral plane and are soon able to 
 continue their work here, and life here is 
 very beautiful. Eventually we who are 
 here go on to higher planes of spiritual life 
 and opportunities. Even we do not know 
 what is ahead of us. We only know that 
 it will be more wonderful, and as each day 
 passes we praise God that we are permitted 
 to do His will. And all will be in a little 
 while in a new place where they will know 
 better and understand more, and all will 
 rejoice that they are in so wonderful a 
 world. 
 
 Are men intent on worldly things when 
 they must die and leave them? All spirit- 
 ual things they take with them. And all 
 33 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 eventually die on earth, while whoever lives 
 the life of the spirit has his treasure in 
 heaven, and where his treasure is, there his 
 heart is also. No one can do two things at 
 once and do them well, and you have your 
 choice. Think well of this ! 
 
 All who live on earth can choose, and they 
 choose for all time. We can never make 
 up for lost time, and though God is very 
 merciful, all must pay the penalty of the 
 time they lost. It is so easy if you will only 
 open your heart and mind to the forces 
 around you, and will let the love of God 
 purify your hearts and minds, and will do 
 your part to live according to God's law. 
 
 Each one can do much to influence those 
 about him. Wherever you may be placed 
 in the world you can there do your part, 
 and each one is responsible for his place in 
 the eternal scheme, wherever he may be, 
 and he is not alone to himself but is there 
 34 
 
EIGHTH LESSON 
 
 for others, and others depend on him for 
 their help in all things. 
 
 All who are ready to learn must be helped 
 to find the way to God. All who are able 
 to teach must always do so. To deny a 
 fellow-man is to deny God. To fail to help 
 is to fail God. All must do their part and 
 each one must do all he dares to awaken 
 others. When man is able to work under 
 the law, he will of necessity be welcome to 
 his spiritual guides, because they are forces 
 of God and God is love, and when he is 
 with his spiritual guides, he is shut out from 
 hurtful influences, and all good spirits 
 guard him so that even on earth, no evil 
 can befall him. And all good forces live 
 ever with him, and all nature smiles on him, 
 and all that he does is welcomed by love, 
 and love is the greatest force of God. 
 
 And love is without any thought for it- 
 self, and love endures. Filled with love, 
 35 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 man can endure anything, bear any burden, 
 and all is part of the day's work, and the 
 only thing that matters is the happiness of 
 that which he loves. 
 
 And all are filled with desire to do the 
 will of God, and His will is very easy to 
 do. All must only love their brother, and, 
 when man loves his brother, he loves God, 
 and each man, no matter how bad, has 
 something beautiful in him. 
 
 Each man responds to some appeal, and 
 those who work with the spiritual forces 
 must find what that is, and must find their 
 way to each man's heart and turn him to 
 God. 
 
 And to fail to help is to fail God. And 
 when God will ask each one what he has 
 done, the better way will be to point to one's 
 fellow-man. Many turn both to God and 
 to those around them, but those who work 
 best are devoted to their fellow-men. 
 36 
 
EIGHTH LESSON 
 
 And all must try and try again, for when 
 we get the best results, it is through re- 
 peated failures, and all Who try are on the 
 way to ultimate success. No matter how 
 humble he is, no one can fail if he tries, and 
 all will be happy on earth when each man 
 does what he knows is right, and the end 
 will be more beautiful than any can dream 
 with their limited knowledge. And all will 
 speed the day who work for the earth now. 
 All must be told of this work that they too 
 may have their opportunity to help on earth. 
 
 This is the eighth lesson. 
 
 37 
 
NINTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN man once begins to lead 
 the life of the spirit, he will be 
 very loving to every one around 
 him, and others will be led into the way of 
 life because of what he is. All exert an 
 influence on those about them, and each one 
 in this way is his brother's keeper on earth, 
 but no one must try to force his brother, 
 because he must be free to choose as he will. 
 All who freely come to God are of the 
 spirit, and whoever will be of help to this 
 earth will be of the kingdom, and all who 
 are willing to work will be needed. 
 
 When men will be able to work without 
 listening to the call of the senses, then they 
 will be pure spirit, and when the day comes 
 that they are pure spirit, they will be very 
 near to little children. For until the ma- 
 38 
 
NINTH LESSON 
 
 terial things of life lead them astray little 
 children are very near the spirit world, and 
 often a little child will see and hear what 
 their other more materialistic elders do not 
 perceive until they are of the spirit. And 
 as a child grows in knowledge, he will be 
 better able to learn, and as a child unfolds, 
 he should turn his face to God and should 
 be like a flower, and all the troubles of the 
 life he leads should be like the gentle rain, 
 which only makes him grow better and more 
 beautiful. 
 
 When men learn this truth there will be 
 no more orphan asylums to stunt the chil- 
 dren's minds and hearts, but each will take 
 his brother's child and care for it as his 
 own. And each one will teach all children 
 of the love of God and of His goodness, and 
 each will share in this work and each will 
 open his doors to all brothers, and all life 
 will be a different thing. 
 39 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 Many are called but few are chosen to do 
 this work, and all who can must do their 
 part on earth and afterwards too. All who 
 are able should adopt little children. 
 
 Children brought up by those who listen 
 to the spirit are better fitted to do their 
 work on earth, and environment is far more 
 potent than people think. 
 
 All who are doing this are doing God's 
 work. 
 
 This is the ninth lesson. 
 
 40 
 
TENTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN the world actually will do 
 God's work, as it should, all 
 men will be better able to do 
 what they should do now, and when that 
 day conies all will be pure spirit. 
 
 When men turn to God they are filled 
 with love and trust and wisdom, and all 
 who live in that day will be happy, and 
 all who are guided by God are helping that 
 day, and all who do not work with God 
 are delaying that day. When men realize 
 this, they will work harder. All must learn 
 however, and this is the reason that we are 
 permitted to teach all who can to write. 
 
 All over the world there is an awaken- 
 ing to this work and we will work the 
 harder, that all may have the opportunity 
 to learn these truths, and all will be done 
 41 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 that can be done to teach the world. All 
 fcrho are widening their knowledge of spirit- 
 ual forces will be the teachers of the world. 
 Many will not be able to teach because 
 they do not believe, and many will not 
 listen. All however must be given the op- 
 portunity to learn, and all who do not take 
 their opportunity will be delayed and much 
 time will be lost to them on the next plane, 
 and they will suffer because they were blind 
 and deaf. And others will suffer too be- 
 cause all will have longer to wait, and all 
 will be sorry at the last day because they 
 were stupid and blind to the many indica- 
 tions God gave them, and so all will be 
 punished, but the punishment of those who 
 work will be quite other than that of those 
 who do not try and eventually all will be 
 together at the Mercy-seat of God, and the 
 love of God is above all comprehension. 
 Even we do not know what the end will be, 
 42 
 
TENTH LESSON 
 
 but it will be far beyond anything we can 
 imagine now. 
 
 Some men are not able to believe because 
 their whole education is built on the things 
 that can be logically proven, and all spirit- 
 ual things must be felt by the soul. And 
 so they are not always to blame and they 
 will be judged according to their true de- 
 serts, for God is love and mercy and He 
 judges according to a man's heart, and a 
 man is a child of God always first. His 
 love knows no limit and He rejoices more 
 over one who finds the way than over many 
 who do not stumble. For each will be 
 judged according to his least intention and 
 according to his best effort, and all men 
 will know that it is just and better than 
 they deserve. 
 
 This is the tenth lesson. 
 
 43 
 
ELEVENTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN men turn to God, they will 
 show their change of heart in 
 their daily life, and they will 
 be better able to be in close sympathy with 
 all their fellows, and a new light will be 
 in them, and all wiio see that light will 
 know the power of the spirit. 
 
 And all who know this special light will 
 be better able to help the world and to guide 
 others to God, for it is a beautiful thing to 
 do this w r ork for the world. And all men 
 will in time be better able to teach others, 
 and all must do their w T ork no matter where 
 they may be placed in life, and all who work 
 will be happy, for all will be able to do 
 better because of this work. 
 
 And all will feel more close to God and 
 able to do His will and when men are in 
 U 
 
ELEVENTH LESSON 
 
 closer touch with God, this will be a differ- 
 ent world, for all the world needs is love 
 and a real desire to do God's will to make 
 it a lovely dwelling-place, and some day 
 it will be that. 
 
 When that day comes, man will be filled 
 with the spirit of God and God's will will 
 be his only desire, and all life will be 
 changed and ever he will be in the spirit. 
 And man will be very near to God and, 
 like the prophets of old, he will " walk with 
 God," and all will be able then to teach 
 spiritual truths to little children and to 
 all who are delayed. 
 
 All who live in that day will be blessed 
 and then will begin the thousand years fore- 
 told to those who are in the spirit with 
 Christ, and all who work to make that day 
 come more quickly are of the spiritual 
 forces, and so the dream of peace on earth, 
 good will towards men will come to pass, 
 45 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 and all men will be able to do more and 
 go further than they now imagine. And 
 those who are willing to work now will be 
 bringing that day nearer, and they must 
 teach all who will listen, for all will be 
 willing to listen if they are only told in 
 the right way. 
 
 All who ask must be answered and all 
 who truly seek shall find, and whoever re- 
 fuses to give of this living water is deny- 
 ing God. All will freely give when they 
 know what they do, for man is stupid and 
 blind and not bad, and when his eyes are 
 open he will do what he knows is right. 
 All must work with their full strength and 
 hasten the day, for the time is short for 
 each one on earth and he must use his time 
 to the best advantage, lest, like the foolish 
 virgins, he be outside the door when the 
 bridegroom comes. 
 
 This is the eleventh lesson. 
 46 
 
TWELFTH LESSON 
 
 AND when man does what he should, 
 he will be able to teach all who 
 are willing to learn, and whoever 
 is able to teach will be of the spirit, and 
 eventually will be spiritually of God. It is 
 a great thing to be of this work, and who- 
 ever is of the spiritual forces will believe 
 in this eventually, and will teach others 
 to believe, and all will take part in this 
 work for the world. And each will share 
 his good things with all others, and each 
 will share his joy and share the sorrows of 
 others, and whoever is not able to do this, 
 is not of the spirit, and whoever is not of 
 the spirit is not of God. 
 
 Each must be a source of joy and comfort 
 to all who are near them, and each must 
 teach the other how to find his spiritual 
 47 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 forces, and all must do their work with 
 their full strength, and all will be in this 
 way co-partners with God. 
 
 For thus to do God's work is to be actu- 
 ally a partner of God, and when eventually 
 man learns what part he has played in crea- 
 tion, he will be very proud that he was 
 permitted the chance to do this work. For 
 those who do this work are hastening the 
 end which all desire to see come, and each 
 will greet that force to which he belongs, 
 and the end is much to be desired. 
 
 And then will come the great peace when 
 eternity will only have begun, and after this 
 will come the joy of the morning when all 
 darkness will disappear, and other spirits 
 will be on earth as they are now on the 
 other planets. 
 
 And on that day all will be filled with 
 love and truth and sympathy and joy and 
 understanding and be a part of the spirit, 
 48 
 
TWELFTH LESSON 
 
 and when men are of the spirit, they will 
 have every attribute of God, and they will 
 be entirely God-like and will be forces of 
 God to do His will, and of their ultimate 
 evolution even we do not know, only it will 
 be very beautiful — far beyond the great- 
 est dreams we can dream today. And all 
 will be overcome by the only truth that on 
 earth they were too selfish and blind to 
 seek, and above all, each will seek to find 
 those whom he has hurt, and to all of the 
 spirit this will be a great and glorious work. 
 And to these eventually will be the best end 
 of all. 
 
 And here the lessons end. 
 
 49 
 
Second Series 
 FIRST LESSON 
 
 ALL nature is made up of forces, and 
 the knowledge of these forces and 
 how to use them is of the utmost 
 importance. 
 
 All forces are divided into seven, and 
 these seven are again each divided into 
 seven, and so on into infinity. All who work 
 in the right spirit belong to some one of 
 these forces. 
 
 The great, first forces are those we have 
 already given you: will, knowledge, joy, 
 truth, sympathy, understanding, and love. 
 Love is the greatest of these and encircles 
 all the others. All are dependent on each 
 other and yet each is complete in itself. 
 All are interwoven and yet each is whole. 
 50 
 
FIKST LESSON 
 
 All do not tell the same truth but they all 
 tell the truth. All do not see the same pic- 
 ture but they see a part, and they tell of 
 that which they know and of what they 
 see. All do not tell the same truth, but 
 they tell of a part of the same truth. All 
 do not think the same thoughts and so the 
 stories vary, and there are many sides to the 
 same thing and each may .be right and com- 
 plete in itself. 
 
 Truth is many-sided and hard for the 
 finite mind to comprehend. We can never 
 hope to know all, and yet we have not the 
 least idea how far we may go or how much 
 we may learn in the end. 
 
 Those who work, however, will have in- 
 struction in these things, and will acquire 
 a great knowledge not given to other men. 
 All who work are a part of creation itself 
 and are doing God's work, and all who do 
 God's work are co-partners of God, so that 
 51 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 eventually they will be one with the Father. 
 
 This is no small part that each man is 
 called upon to play in God's great scheme, 
 and all who fail to do their part eventually 
 will belong to those who are outside the 
 door and who have no real share in the 
 great end, and bitter will their sorrow be ! 
 All will be in the end at the Mercy-seat, 
 but both he who does not listen and he 
 who turns aside for his own pleasure will 
 never enter at the same door as he who does 
 his part, and only God can know what his 
 loss is for only God knows what will be that 
 glorious end. 
 
 The spiritual forces in the universe are 
 God's messengers to man, sent to bring man 
 to himself and to teach man the way to 
 eternal life and to God, and all must learn 
 of these forces and how to use them. 
 
 The greatest force in the universe is love. 
 Love must be all-embracing, all-including, 
 52 
 
FIKST LESSON 
 
 all-enduring. There is no one and no thing 
 that can be left out of God's love and we 
 must try to be like Him. All love is divine, 
 whether it is of man or beast, and all is a 
 part of the forces of God. All will be a 
 part of the great end, and all have their 
 place in creation and will be at the end 
 a part of God. 
 
 All will do God's work when they know 
 what they miss in failing to follow His will. 
 His will is very easy to do. It is to love 
 your brother and to listen to God's messen- 
 gers and to pray for guidance, and all good 
 will be added to God's children wherever 
 they may be or whatever they may do. 
 
 And here ends the first lesson. 
 
 53 
 
Second Series 
 SECOND LESSON 
 
 ALL who are willing to work are 
 needed on earth to help in this 
 great work of creation, for it is the 
 work of creation, and the greatest work 
 imaginable, and a wonderful experience to 
 be allowed to share therein. All will have 
 a part who follow their guides, and all 
 these guides are waiting for is that man 
 shall listen to God's messengers, and each 
 day it will become easier to do because it 
 only means love and service to your fellow- 
 man. 
 
 All who give this will be in those forces 
 
 which we call Circles, and all can be of the 
 
 Circles by following the teaching of Christ. 
 
 It is not hard to do. Love your brother 
 
 54 
 
SECOND LESSON 
 
 and do to him what you would like to have 
 him do to you, for all of life is just that 
 one lesson, and those who do not learn it 
 there are delayed here. 
 
 There are many kinds of forces but noth- 
 ing but one's own will can overcome self- 
 ishness. Selfishness is the earthly sin, and 
 all light there will be destroyed if you do 
 not overcome this evil, and there will be 
 only a shadow of light until this is over- 
 come. Selfishness is the death of the soul. 
 It creates all the trouble and evil of earth 
 and is alive only to its own desire, and all 
 who would be of God must overcome this 
 selfishness, for it is like a canker in the heart 
 of a flower. 
 
 All who try can overcome this, but only 
 those who grow in earthly love can be sure 
 of their victory over this arch-enemy of 
 mankind and of the forces of God. 
 
 Those who work progress little by little, 
 55 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 and in the end the change is great. It is 
 not easy for only in struggle is character 
 built, and all of eternity is a long time in 
 which to arrive at perfection which is where 
 we will eventually come. 
 
 All of life tends to perfection. Beasts 
 and birds, flowers and trees all follow the 
 same path to God and to the ultimate end, 
 and all are ever moving upward and all do 
 their part in this scheme. Only man alone 
 desires his own small place. 
 
 All of God's creatures are obedient to 
 their forces except man, and when at last 
 man comes under the law, the last destruc- 
 tive force will be vanquished and all will 
 be in harmony, and all can live together in 
 peace. 
 
 This is the second lesson. 
 
 56 
 
Second Series 
 THIRD LESSON 
 
 WHERE is the man who will will- 
 ingly give np his own pleas- 
 ure unless he knows it is for 
 his own good? 
 
 Those who give up their pleasure for the 
 sake of others will benefit in many ways. 
 They will be more lovely spiritually and 
 will eventually be happier. Those who give 
 up their pleasure for others are the spirits 
 of God. Those who are unselfish are spirits 
 of God. Those who are especially fond of 
 their own way are not spirits of God. 
 Those who wish to learn to be otherwise 
 will eventually be spirits of God. All who 
 would learn will eventually be taught. AH 
 who listen to the voice of the spirit within 
 57 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 them will learn the actual truth there on 
 earth. 
 
 All who work will achieve, and all who 
 achieve will grow in spiritual power. One 
 never stands still, one goes either up or 
 down. All who wish to grow must struggle 
 on the way to spiritual life, for it is not 
 easily acquired, this light by which to live, 
 and those who once enter on this path are 
 never satisfied with the darker way and 
 will continue finally to the end. 
 
 All who work are welcomed by the spir- 
 itual forces and all are to arouse those whom 
 they can to work. It is like the ripple made 
 by a stone thrown in the water, ever grow- 
 ing larger and larger. 
 
 When this is understood, more and more 
 people will practically be teachers of the 
 forces to men, and as they teach, they will 
 grow in all understanding and wisdom. 
 
 No one must ever let the sun go down 
 58 
 
THIRD LESSON 
 
 without talking of this truth to some one, 
 for it is a never-failing source of comfort 
 and joy to those who tell and to those who 
 listen, and all who give the message to 
 others are planting the seed of God's king- 
 dom and are children of God. 
 
 All who listen with an open mind will in 
 time become children of God, and even those 
 who will not listen will be bettered by the 
 teaching they do not then accept. All who 
 are bettered have their chance to learn even 
 unto the end of the world, and so no oppor- 
 tunity must be overlooked to do this work. 
 For on your doing this depends the welfare 
 of many souls, and in this way each is his 
 brother's keeper. 
 
 Those who do their part are willing to 
 give time and love to each inquiring soul, 
 for all must be fed and God is the bread 
 of life, and all must give especially to those 
 who seek, for those who seek are of God, 
 59 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 and will be of Him always, and His children 
 are very dear to Him, and, like the good 
 shepherd, He cannot bear to lose one of his 
 flock. 
 
 This is the third lesson. 
 
 60 
 
Second Series 
 FOURTH LESSON 
 
 THOSE who would learn the truth 
 will listen to these teachings. 
 Those who listen long enough will 
 learn to think for themselves and when once 
 they begin to think, they will very soon 
 begin to live the life eternal on earth. 
 Those who begin will start others on the 
 way, and all who start will be in time chil- 
 dren of God. Whenever God teaches man 
 the truth, He does so for man's own advan- 
 tage, and all who learn there or here are 
 able to teach others. 
 
 Life has very little joy that is not joy of 
 
 the spirit. The material things of life bring 
 
 only dissatisfaction and do not eventually 
 
 make for happiness, while the spiritual 
 
 61 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 bring many joys. All who work in a spirit- 
 ual way are doing what will bring the great- 
 est satisfaction to themselves in the end. 
 
 All who work will eventually become chil- 
 dren of light, and until all are of light, all 
 must wait for the great and glorious end. 
 All are willing to wait but all are not will- 
 ing to be made to wait. All are not willing 
 to wait for those who are too lazy or too 
 bent on their pleasure to do their part. All 
 who work follow the law, because to try to 
 do your part is to be under the law. All 
 who really try succeed, and all who succeed 
 are of the forces of God, and will be helped 
 as they do not dream by this evidence of 
 God's love and power. 
 
 Those who drink of this stream will never 
 thirst again, but those who refuse to take 
 their opportunities will be very sad, for 
 those who refuse to help in God's work will 
 never regain their full power as spiritual

FOURTH LESSON 
 
 forces, and no matter how they may try, in 
 the future life they will never be able to 
 learn in the same way as they would have 
 learned if they had cultivated faith and love 
 while on earth. 
 
 And, while they will go on to the end with 
 all others, they will be of another and lower 
 spiritual degree, and while in the love of 
 God, they will not be as utterly His as those 
 who willingly obey. For this reason it is 
 most important that this is taught to all 
 who will listen. 
 
 Life is a great opportunity and all must 
 be able to have their share of its tremendous 
 lessons. All who will help will be the 
 gainers, and all who eventually work will 
 be of the kingdom. 
 
 Do not, therefore, lose time, for time is 
 golden and each minute a precious oppor- 
 tunity to do God's work. 
 
 This is the fourth lesson. 
 63 
 
Second Series 
 FIFTH LESSON 
 
 THOSE who work must begin by lov- 
 ing each other and by loving all 
 with whom they come in contact, for 
 only by love of man is love of God to be 
 learned. All do not however learn this in 
 the same way and each one must find the 
 path by which he can do the most, and to 
 each one the way will be opened and he will 
 learn to follow his guides. This way is the 
 only true way to happiness on earth, and, 
 when eventually man comes here, he will be 
 better able to continue his work. 
 
 All that he needs is will, and will leads 
 
 to knowledge, and knowledge to joy, and 
 
 joy to truth, and truth to understanding, 
 
 and understanding to sympathy and sym- 
 
 64 
 
FIFTH LESSON 
 
 pathy to love, and so lie reaches all the 
 Circles from beginning to end. All must 
 work hard to do their part and to be the 
 means of light to others, for all can help in 
 this great work. 
 
 And when man knows what the reward 
 of his obedience is, he will feel that it is 
 out of all proportion to his services. 
 
 All that the world can give is as noth- 
 ing to the treasures laid up for the man 
 who works in God's vineyard, and all that 
 he can do is as nothing to his reward. 
 
 For the love of God is as vast as infinity, 
 and all of eternity will be given to showing 
 how endless it is, and each stage of develop- 
 ment will only bring greater and greater 
 fulness of knowledge of this great love. 
 
 This is the fifth lesson. 
 
 65 
 
Second Series 
 SIXTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN one wishes to begin to 
 work with his Circles or spirit- 
 ual guides, he must first begin 
 to cultivate love by a constant and persist- 
 ent effort of will, and then he will be on 
 the way to knowledge. All must be as firm 
 of purpose as they know how to be, and 
 each slip must mean a new start. There 
 is no such thing as failure and each time a 
 man stumbles, he must only begin again. 
 
 Although he is only at the beginning, yet 
 is he of the forces of God, and all forces 
 will guide and wait for each man to do his 
 part. They never weary of waiting, and 
 all who work will be guided into the right 
 way to God. For only by struggle is char- 
 66 
 
SIXTH LESSON 
 
 acter built, and only by work, and hard 
 work, is spiritual life attained. 
 
 Love such as man knows is as nothing 
 to what God knows for His children, and 
 while He is waiting for the eternal work 
 to be finished, He is also working for man's 
 glory and happiness, and all that is between 
 man and God is his own desire for his own 
 way. When man is once on the right path 
 he will never be content with any lesser 
 light. All that God can show him will be 
 a guide to his feet on the way to eternal 
 life and happiness. 
 
 All that God has to give is for him when 
 he is ready to say " Thy will, not mine, be 
 done." 
 
 All that heaven holds of bliss, all that 
 earth holds of well-being is for him. 
 
 All that he can ever be or hope to be is 
 waiting for him, and only his desire to be 
 alone his own master, and his refusal to 
 67 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 be God's obedient child, stand between him 
 and the spritual guides, and when he learns 
 what he has lost for his independence, he 
 will not be glad that he gained that inde- 
 pendence on earth. 
 
 All who work will be of the kingdom, no 
 matter how often they fail, and each must 
 only start over again, for by mistakes and 
 failures all people learn sympathy and un- 
 derstanding, and so they grow in spirit and 
 in love of God and man. 
 
 All who have stumbled will be very kind 
 to those who make the same mistakes, and in 
 this way they are more understanding of 
 others. Whoever would judge his brother, 
 let him first look carefully into his own 
 heart and see what he finds there, for each 
 has some secret weakness which perhaps 
 only God knows, and whoever judges will 
 be judged both by God and man according 
 to his failure to do all that he demanded 
 68 
 
SIXTH LESSON 
 
 of others. Whoever is not critical of others 
 will be doing better than the one who judges. 
 
 Only God can know what a man's inten- 
 tion is and He is a very merciful judge. 
 Those who are kind in their judgments are 
 following in their Father's pathway. 
 
 All who would be judged according to 
 their least intention and their best effort 
 must do as they would be done by. All 
 who are kind will be kindly dealt with. All 
 who are just will get justice, and all who 
 are merciful will get mercy. 
 
 This is the sixth lesson. 
 
 69 
 
Second Series 
 SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 ALL who would love must begin by 
 loving those nearest to them, no 
 matter how lowly they may be. 
 Those who turn away from their brother 
 are not doing God's will, and those who love 
 their brother are in the forces of God, for 
 God created all alike and each has his part 
 to play. 
 
 All who really love each other love God, 
 and all who love God are in His forces, 
 and always will be, unless they turn aside 
 for their own advantage on earth, and who- 
 ever does this is out of the Circles. God 
 will not accept half a heart, and we will 
 not be allowed to teach any one who is not 
 utterly willing to be led. 
 70 
 
SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 Those who would work must be pure of 
 purpose and willing to trust to the guid- 
 ance of God. All children who disobey 
 must be punished. Those who turn back 
 will be gladly welcomed. Those who regret 
 are forgiven, and all who think otherwise 
 are wrong, and all otherwise taught are 
 wrongly taught. 
 
 Those who would be forgiven must pray 
 to God for themselves and for all others 
 who are not in the light. In the light of 
 God's love and approval. Those who are 
 conscious of wrong-doing are no longer in 
 the Circles, and, when they pray, they will 
 know when they are forgiven by the light 
 that will come. Those who would be for- 
 given will pray for this light, and until this 
 light comes, they will know that they are 
 not on the way to God. He who stumbles 
 can begin again if he will be otherwise pure 
 in heart, and all who are desirous of this 
 71 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 bounty of God must be very sure that they 
 will be willing to be of help to all those 
 who stumble too. No one is without sin of 
 some sort and each must be helpful to all 
 others. Christ said " Go, and sin no more," 
 and those who would be forgiven must for- 
 give. 
 
 Those who would be of the kingdom will 
 be alive to all ways to help others, and 
 Christ is in all and through all and with 
 all. Those who would forgive must be for- 
 given. Those who would be of the king- 
 dom are of the very Circle of Circles. 
 
 All fail sometimes but they can easily 
 go on again, and each failure means more 
 strength, and a stronger purpose to do and 
 be better. They will never be as kind as 
 when they themselves know temptation. 
 
 Those who would help others will never be 
 so busy that they are not able to listen and 
 sympathize. Those who are willing to help 
 72 
 
SEVENTH LESSON 
 
 will be a source of comfort to all in dis- 
 tress. Those who are willing to help will 
 be a source of joy to all who turn to them, 
 and eventually will be of the forces of God. 
 
 All who are of the forces of God will 
 show it in their lives, and whoever follows 
 the spiritual guides will see and hear. All 
 who are of God will be of the forces, be- 
 cause forces are His messengers. All who 
 are of the forces are very pure of heart. 
 All who are pure of heart are the children 
 of God, and all the children of God are 
 very loving to each other. 
 
 Those who would see and hear must pray 
 for a pure heart and must purge themselves 
 of all material desire. Those who would 
 see and hear must be both kind and loving 
 and must never criticize others or tell their 
 faults, because they would not want theirs 
 told. Those who would see and hear must 
 do their best to live in the love of God, and 
 73 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 to them shall be added this blessing when 
 they show that they are ready for it. Those 
 who are ready will receive, and those who 
 are not ready and do not believe, will not 
 receive. Those who are purged of sin will 
 be ready when the day comes, and to be 
 purged of sin means to be forgiven, and to 
 be forgiven is to be again in God's light. 
 
 This is the seventh lesson. 
 
 74 
 

 Second Series 
 EIGHTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN man is willing to obey, he 
 is in a better condition to do 
 whatever there is to do, and he 
 will only learn to communicate with his 
 guides through obedience. Those who can 
 obey are not always willing to do so, and 
 those who are willing are of all the forces. 
 All those who believe are obedient. Only 
 those who are willing to obey God's law are 
 obedient to His messengers. 
 
 All who will say " thy will be done " are 
 obedient to Circles. All who would see and 
 hear will be obedient. All those who obey 
 are willing to do whatever they are told by 
 their guides. 
 
 Those who obey are happier in their obedi- 
 ence than with all the riches of earth, and 
 75 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 in their obedience, they gain both heavenly 
 and also earthly treasures, for unto him 
 that hath shall be added. Those who event- 
 ually trust to their Heavenly Father will 
 be led in the end into love of only spiritual 
 things, and when material things are no 
 longer necessary to their happiness, they 
 will have their reward. 
 
 Those who are struggling with material 
 things are not clear-minded and cannot 
 work as they should, for to work as one 
 should only means to put God first, and 
 lesser things then fall into their proper 
 place. 
 
 All who are in their own forces are clear- 
 minded and have a light in their spirit, and 
 when this light fails, you can know that 
 you are not working under the law. All 
 who work under the law are happier, and 
 no matter what test is given them, they rise 
 above it. 
 
 76 
 

 EIGHTH LESSON 
 
 All who work must be prepared for tests, 
 for only by struggle is strength developed. 
 Those who live the life of the spirit are 
 never critical or unkind to any one. Those 
 who would live this life must not indulge 
 in ill-natured criticism, and must never 
 judge other people's actions, for no one can 
 know all the conditions of his brother's life. 
 
 Those who would help the world can only 
 do so through love, and love neither judges 
 nor criticizes, and whoever would be helpful 
 must love more and more there on earth. 
 
 All who love are kind and teach love 
 through their kindly spiritual force on 
 earth. All those who are kind are of the 
 forces of God, and through their Circles 
 teach others to lead the spiritual life, for 
 man, in general, is blind to spiritual things, 
 and he must be awakened there if not to 
 be delayed here. 
 
 All of life is to learn belief in spiritual 
 77 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 things which cannot be proved by the ma- 
 terial senses. All of life is a testing of the 
 quality of man's spiritual development. 
 All that he can do is to be done there for 
 opening the eyes of others, because event- 
 ually he will be given a chance to work 
 here, especially in the forces. 
 
 All who would be of the forces must not 
 be idlers there on earth, for the idler is not 
 of the forces of God. All who would be of 
 Circles must work and work hard, for all 
 of a life is but a moment in which to learn 
 self-control, belief and love, and those who 
 would learn must give time, and be willing 
 to love and believe. 
 
 This is the eighth lesson. 
 
 78 
 

 Second Series 
 NINTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN man realizes what depends 
 on his work there on earth, he 
 will be ashamed of his laziness, 
 and when he knows what is in store for him, 
 he will only be astonished that such a great 
 reward is given for so little in return, for 
 whenever God rewards He rewards a thou- 
 sandfold. 
 
 And as soon as he knows what he has 
 thrown away he would give all that he pos- 
 sesses to turn back, for if he does not turn 
 on earth, he will not be able to advance 
 here in the way he should, for the lesson of 
 life is to learn to turn to God whenever a 
 man thinks, as naturally as a flower turns 
 to the sun. 
 
 79 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 All that God asks is this and it is little 
 to give in return for a great reward. All 
 that man could do would be as nothing, if 
 he spent every moment of his life in striv- 
 ing to work. All that he dreams or imag- 
 ines is as nothing to the great end which 
 finally God ordains for whoever obeys. All 
 that he can eventually do is but a drop in 
 the ocean of love given by God. When man 
 can bring himself to the realization of this 
 he will be amazed to think that he was 
 worthy of such love and compassion, and to 
 each will be given this knowledge and power 
 to see and hear, if he will only be good 
 there on earth. 
 
 For of old when men were better, they 
 " walked with God," and only since man has 
 become more materialistic has this power 
 been lost, for all power is stifled by mate- 
 rialism, and selfishness is the death of the 
 soul. All who would work must purge their 
 80 
 
NINTH LESSON 
 
 hearts of both selfishness and materialism, 
 for those two great evils are the only sins 
 in the earth life, and when once man has 
 overcome them, he will be a pure spirit of 
 love to the world. 
 
 All who struggle are on the way. All 
 who work will ultimately achieve. All who 
 pray for light will ultimately receive it, and 
 all who receive will teach others the way. 
 
 And so the work of the spirit will go on 
 more and more on earth, and, when man be- 
 comes what he should be in reality on earth, 
 he will be astonished at the result of God's 
 plan, for all that sinlessness is is to be with- 
 out selfishness or desire for material gain, as 
 Christ was on earth. 
 
 And man shall become as He was when 
 he too is spirit only, and this will be when 
 he learns the full earth lesson of obedience 
 to God, and only then will he be a spirit. 
 
 Whenever man is willing to be obedient, 
 81 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 he will do whatever he is asked to do in 
 Circles. All who would be under the law 
 must learn this. All who would be in the 
 Circles must pray for a pure and obedient 
 heart. 
 
 All who would be of God must be in His 
 forces. All who would be of the kingdom 
 will begin by prayer and a persistent search 
 for their own forces. All who would be of 
 God must become as little children, willing 
 to be led and trusting in their Father's love, 
 for no love that earth knows is like it in the 
 fulness of its great and utter power to com- 
 prehend and forgive. 
 
 All who are of God live in another light 
 from that usually known to man. All who 
 are of God will be very loving and be with- 
 out any selfishness towards others, and all 
 who achieve this on earth are of great power 
 when they come here. All who are of God 
 will be very kind in their judgments, and 
 82 
 
NINTH LESSON 
 
 will be better able to eventually live the 
 life of the spirit, and the life of the spirit 
 is the only way to be of God. 
 
 This is the ninth lesson. 
 
 83 
 
Second Series 
 TENTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN man turns of his own ac- 
 cord to God, he will be very 
 glad to be of His forces, and 
 his only wish will be to do as they ask him, 
 and his whole life will be lived in obedience 
 to those forces. And all that they ask is 
 love for those around him, and a willingness 
 to help all who ask for light, for those who 
 seek the light are ever more and more nu- 
 merous, and eventually they will be of the 
 forces too. Those who need help will be 
 given all Circles as guides, and the guides 
 will bring the light they need to each one. 
 Those who work will be helped always and 
 will not be allowed to come to any harm, 
 and those whom the forces guard are helped 
 by God to believe in the truth. 
 84 
 
TENTH LESSON 
 
 All who are in His forces are very loving 
 to those about them, and never critical of 
 even the least among men, and although they 
 often are not able to control others, they 
 can refrain from entering into the criticism. 
 And all must learn this, and all must hear 
 the spoken word in silence and in prayer, 
 for only in that way can it be heard. 
 
 Those who are in the forces of God are 
 meek and lowly of heart. Those who are 
 in these forces are very loving. Those who 
 are in these forces are God's children, and 
 all who are God's children are welcome to 
 the forces. Those who are eventually in 
 forces are God's children. All who would 
 be of God are to seek their own guides. All 
 do not belong to the same force, and so they 
 must find which one is theirs, and when 
 they open the door of their hearts to God, 
 they will be met and guided by their own 
 Circles. 
 
 85 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 All who would find their Circles must ap- 
 proach the spiritual world with prayer and 
 a firm desire for only the truth, for if they 
 come in any other spirit, they will be open 
 to evil and other interfering spirits, and 
 this is why so many have not found what 
 they sought. 
 
 All who come in the right way are wel- 
 comed by the forces of God, and they will 
 find what they seek. All who are pure of 
 heart will be at once in their Circles, and 
 when they begin to work, they will begin to 
 understand what a wonderful world this is. 
 
 Only those who are welcome to the Cir- 
 cles will ever learn the way to reach 
 those who have gone before. To all others 
 only enough will be given to make them 
 long for more, and that is the reason why 
 so many people are not able to believe in 
 the continuity of personal identity. When 
 they find the truth, they will believe in very 
 86 
 
TENTH LESSON 
 
 truth what the prophets have foretold, and 
 they will be sorry for lost time when they 
 might have been in close touch with those 
 whom they had lost on earth. 
 
 All wilbbe given an opportunity to learn 
 through these lessons, and when they begin 
 to work they will learn how to be in Circles. 
 Whenever any one asks, he will be told of 
 this series of lessons, and when he studies 
 he will be on the way. 
 
 This is the tenth lesson. 
 
 87 
 
Second Series 
 ELEVENTH LESSON 
 
 WHEN man, in the fulness of his 
 desire for spiritual things, 
 turns to God, he will begin to 
 be able to live as he always should and all 
 that is needed is the steady and persistent 
 desire for the spiritual life. 
 
 That means the exerting of his will, and, 
 when once he has cultivated that, he will 
 be led into knowledge. And when he has 
 acquired knowledge, he will be led into joy. 
 And through joy he will learn truth, and 
 through truth understanding, and through 
 understanding he will learn symapthy, and 
 then he will begin to really know love. 
 
 So in this way he will touch all the Cir- 
 cles, and when he does that he will be a real 
 88 
 
ELEVENTH LESSON 
 
 spirit, for to be a real spirit is to have all 
 the attributes of God. And all of the truth, 
 all of the forces are contained in these seven 
 Circles. All forces are contained in these 
 first great seven. All powers are therein. 
 All work must be done, unless you wish to 
 fail of final success, with their consent and 
 aid. 
 
 And of the ultimate end of their possi- 
 bilities, even we who work with all our 
 strength without ceasing, do not know, and 
 those who learn of the ultimate end must 
 wait for eternity. 
 
 This is the eleventh lesson. 
 
 89 
 
Second Series 
 TWELFTH LESSON 
 
 ALL who work will have their 
 earthly as well as later reward. 
 All who give time and thought and 
 prayer there are actually on the way to all 
 knowledge. Knowledge is of God, and can 
 only be learned through Him, and He will 
 teach more and more to whoever is His 
 obedient child. 
 
 All the knowledge of the universe is open 
 to him when he turns to God. All power 
 may be his and all forces are at his com- 
 mand. All that he must do is to be willing 
 to obey, and his reward will be far greater 
 than he can dream, and his happiness will 
 be beyond anything that he now knows. 
 All his life will be blessed with content 
 90 
 
TWELFTH LESSON 
 
 and well-being, and life will be a song in the 
 heart to each one that follows this path. 
 
 Put not your trust in princes nor in any 
 son of man ! 
 
 Put not your trust in the things of this 
 world ! 
 
 But put your trust in God and He will 
 never fail you. 
 
 This is the twelfth lesson.

APPENDIX 
 
 As being of possible interest to the reader, we 
 have added the notes of the first four lessons, from 
 June 26th on, showing just how we received the 
 series, also the correction and revision of the same 
 lessons, given at a later date. 
 
 We have added punctuation and have omitted a 
 few passages which we thought too personal for 
 publication; otherwise the notes are as we took them 
 down from day to day. The words in parentheses 
 are always questions, asked verbally, or our own 
 remarks and explanations; all the rest is what we 
 received through the automatic writing. 
 
 Saturday, June 26th, 1919. 
 
 We are here every time you are ready to work. . . . 
 Love we give you always and we ask only faith 
 in return. The light of the world is 0. 1 We are 
 ready to work in earnest now. The world will be 
 better able to understand when old conditions are 
 changed and the world is again in @. The world was 
 more believing a little while ago and when it gets 
 these truths and understands them, it will be filled 
 (filled'?) filled with belief again and men will be 
 better and happier. The new truth is the same

 received it, was six interlacing circles, surrounded by a 
 seventh.

APPENDIX 
 
 only the understanding is all different. The light 
 is always the same, but the clouds are not between 
 us and the sun. The truth will be given in these 
 lessons. We will all be with you in this work and 
 we will guard you lest each day evil befall you. We 
 will now begin. 
 
 The greatest power in the world is love. The love 
 of God surpasses belief and He is able to understand 
 and forgive all. Men cannot always be sure of each 
 other, but they can be sure of God's love and for- 
 giveness. The best way to learn is to love. The only 
 way to learn is to love. Every day of one's life 
 there is opportunity to do God's work for man. Men 
 will not be unkind to one another when they under- 
 stand this truth in the ©, and all will learn there or 
 here. We are all in the love of God. His love is 
 around all and through all and in all. We cannot 
 lose him if we would and © are His messengers. 
 
 When a man turns away from God and does not 
 believe, God waits until his heart is ready to open to 
 Him and He is never angry. He is a refuge to all 
 who live in sorrow and who are weary and in trouble. 
 He is never too busy to listen to those who need 
 Him and He is a never-failing source of strength to 
 those who pray to Him. 
 
 We must wait until tomorrow. Love. © 
 
 Friday, June 27th, 1919. 
 
 We will continue our lessons. 
 93 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 The only way to love it to love your brother. 
 Christ said if you do not love your brother, you 
 cannot love God. We little know how true this is 
 for we must learn the good that is in every human 
 soul. We all are better able to (marked effort) 
 benefit the world when we look with kindly eyes on 
 our fellow man. We must be able to help others if 
 born of the spirit. The © are God's messengers to 
 man and are sent to show the way to God. Man is 
 not a spirit but he can become one. The lesson of 
 earth is love. All must learn it in the universe. 
 God is love and His children must be love too. We 
 are not able to follow Him if we do not follow the 
 teaching of Christ, and Christ said love your brother 
 as yourself. Will we continue the lesson? 
 
 (Is that the end of the first lesson?) 
 
 Yes. 
 
 (We should like to go on.) 
 
 We will not do the world any good if we do not 
 help each other for the world is the place where the 
 spirit will become manifest if we cultivate it, and we 
 can only do so by following the teaching of Christ. 
 We are little children who are easily confused by the 
 million things of the material life and God is wait- 
 ing for us to believe the messengers He has sent 
 to us from time to time. We are not told better 
 in this world and each one must be let go his own 
 way until he turns like a tired child to his ®. We 
 are only able to love really when we forget ourselves 
 94 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 and work only for others and be kind to all no 
 matter what they do or are. It is actually a part of 
 each man's development to be told this whether he 
 accepts it or not. Each man is free to do what he 
 will as he chooses. All will however learn the lesson 
 sometime and those who do not learn it there are 
 delayed here. This is the second lesson. 
 
 (Spirit, we love your lessons.) 
 
 And we © love to teach you because we are of the 
 same 0. 
 
 (Do the circles mean the force of the spirit of 
 love or joy or truth?) 
 
 Yes, we are the Comforter promised by Christ to 
 the world and men must believe to become like Him 
 on this earth, and (writing indistinct) be guides to 0. 
 
 (Is that right?) 
 
 Be guided by ©. 
 
 (Is there anything more before we go?) Love ®. 
 
 Saturday, June 28th, 1919. 
 
 We will go on. The only work that is worth while 
 is work for others ©. We are in a world of material 
 things and the lesson of life really is belief in spirit- 
 ual things, which cannot be proved by the senses. 
 
 (In answer to some remark:) We tell the truth 
 and you must believe. Here or there all must learn. 
 We only ask faith and give you ©. We must not 
 work when we are tired. Anne is tired. We will 
 write more in a few minutes.

TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 (Here came several moments of conversation of a 
 personal nature and the next sentence came in answer 
 to a question.) 
 
 Death is never painful. 
 
 (It is not unnatural, is it, to want to save the one 
 you love from death?) 
 
 No, all human love of life is full of fears. All 
 human love is full of fears. All human love is but 
 the shadow of the love that we know will be ours 
 (repeated) will be ours when we are together here. 
 We will continue. 
 
 We are not able to learn by ourselves. We must 
 pray for the spirit of hu 
 
 (Humanity?) 
 
 No. 
 
 (Humility?) Yes. The © are those who help man- 
 kind in the way to God and each man who seeks 
 can find the truth. All men must learn to pray. 
 Peace will God give to him who seeks the life eternal. 
 We will be able to work after life there * is ended ©, 
 and the earlier we begin to work the better life we 
 will have. © are calling to men to love their fellow 
 men and men are deaf and will not listen. When 
 men do listen the world will be changed and © will 
 be guides to men if they listen to ©, and will teach 
 men the way to peace and truth and eternal life. 
 
 i The writing always uses " There " in referring to 
 our world and " here " in referring to the world beyond.

APPENDIX 
 
 We are here to learn love and faith, love of God 
 through love of man, faith through (words we could 
 not make out. Many efforts on our part. Finally:) 
 We will not continue. . . . Love ©. 
 
 Monday, June 30th, 1919. 
 
 We will continue. The world will be better able 
 to understand when it is willing to listen and it will 
 listen now because it so full of sorrow. The life of 
 © is the only way to life eternal and the way to 
 Christ. 
 
 We will not go on today. 
 
 (What is wrong?) 
 
 Anne does not rest and our force is not sufficient. 
 
 (We are so sorry.) 
 
 We will continue. Christ is the way to God and 
 all men must come to Him sooner or later. The way 
 is open to all who seek and all who ask must be 
 answered. This is the way to truth eternal. Do not 
 hold any of those who seek back by doubt of the 
 truth we have given you. The work God has given 
 you is to teach because you both do believe. The 
 work is to teach ever and always. We will be your 
 guides in this work for those you teach and we will 
 be © of learning to man. 
 
 Men are like stupid children who don't know what 
 they want and they are waiting until a miracle 
 comes. We never can work miracles because all is 
 done by law. 
 
 97 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 We will continue tomorrow. We are here. 
 
 (We took this to mean that we might ask ques- 
 tions.) 
 
 (A visitor. Ask why the answers to questions are 
 so indefinite. H.l asks though not agreeing that they 
 are indefinite.) 
 
 Because we only teach spiritual truths and the 
 spirit must apprehend, and if it is in the ® it will 
 understand. 
 
 (Visitor. Where is the spirit world?) 
 
 All about the universe there are many worlds and 
 each one is among the spaces which are filled with 
 spirits in different states of development. 
 
 (Spirit, you told us you never were on earth — 
 are most teachers like you?) 
 
 No, most of them have been on earth. . . . We will 
 always be near you when you need us. 
 
 (Visitor. If we learn to write, can we get in 
 touch with the people we love who are with you?) 
 
 God is good and He will always keep you close 
 to those you love and need, but you must not call 
 so often that you interfere with their work and 
 progress here. Love ®. 
 
 1 (Spirit, what are the dwellers on other planets 
 like?) 
 
 All are like you in form. All are made in the 
 likeness of God.

APPENDIX 
 
 (Are they of different degrees of development in 
 intelligence?) 
 
 That we do not know as we are familiar only 
 with a few. 
 
 (Are the few you know alike?) 
 
 Yes, but some are better temperamentally and less 
 wilful. 
 
 (Where do we stand?) 
 
 In ©. 
 
 (But I mean in order of intelligence compared 
 to the other planets you know?) 
 
 That we cannot tell because we judge differently, 
 and intentions and heart count for more than with 
 you. 
 
 Tuesday, July 1st, 1919. 
 
 We are here. 
 
 (Was that word in answer to our visitor yesterday 
 spaces or stars?) 
 
 Spaces. 
 
 (Shall we give you the end of yesterday's lesson?) 
 
 Not necessary. When we are shut within our ® we 
 are in the love of God and all harm is shut away 
 from us. Not able to work today. Anne is too 
 tired. 
 
 (Can't you try? I am so willing.) 
 
 No, we get no response from the mind. 
 
 (We can ask questions. Will capital and labour 
 ever be able to really meet?) 
 99 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 No, not now, both are too blind. But in time the 
 labouring classes will see that each one is necessary 
 to the welfare of the other. 
 
 (Spirit, why can you give us a long answer like 
 that and yet cannot give us the lesson?) 
 
 Because when Anne is tired the © are not able 
 to use her psychic mind. 
 
 (How am I to rest more?) 
 
 You must not worry about things that do not 
 matter. The hospital is not a necessary thing for 
 Anne. She ought to rest after lunch and be fresh 
 for this most important work. 
 
 Wednesday, July 2nd, 1919. 
 
 We are here. 
 
 We are all materially of the same elements that 
 we were on earth only less cumbrous than there, 
 and when • 
 
 (Here came a long word which we could not make 
 out. It might have been three words run together 
 or one long one. We tried and tried, the planchette 
 would not go on until we found it.) 
 
 (Dominating'?) No. 
 
 (Do we change?) No. 
 
 (Dwelling in?) No. 
 
 (Everlasting?) No. 
 
 (Elementally?) 
 
 Yes, elementally the same we have the same emo- 
 tions and life. We love and ® are busy with the 
 100 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 various works which occupied them while they were 
 on earth. 
 
 (Spirit, we love this lesson.) 
 
 We are telling the truth of the life here and when 
 men realize this truth they will turn towards the love 
 of God as we do here and then will come the millen- 
 nium foretold to those who were in the ? with 
 
 Christ. 
 
 (Here came an experience which was very trying 
 for us. The writing had been good and clear except 
 in the case noted and one other word "towards" 
 which we had to have repeated. In this last sen- 
 tence came again a word which we could not make 
 out, or, as before, it might have been two or three 
 words run together. In the first case we had both 
 said that it was a good proof when we could not 
 get the word, that it was not our sub-conscious mind 
 dictating, and again we seemed to have been given 
 the test. We worked an hour and a half over that 
 one word and with no result.) 
 
 (We tried many terms.) 
 
 Work until you get it. Work and we will help you. 
 
 (We are so discouraged. Do let us go on.) 
 
 Do not be discouraged. We will help you. 
 
 (Twice the word was re- written but we could not 
 get it.) 
 
 We will all help you. 
 
 (Anne said she had to go.) 
 
 No, do not go today.

TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 (Anne waited and we tried and tried until finally 
 she was obliged to leave.) 
 
 Thursday, July 3rd, 1919. 
 
 We are here. We will tell you what we do here 
 and how we work ever becoming better able to help 
 those who are ready to listen to the ©. There are 
 many kinds of © and each has its own particular 
 work. There are many kinds of © and each © is 
 able to write to those of its own ©. We are not 
 all willing to work unselfishly, intelligently for others 
 and until we are © will wait. The end © is wait- 
 ing for is the unfolding of man's heart to God. 
 When men become as little children the world will 
 be another place and love will be without envy or 
 malice. We are able to write better today. When 
 we actually are 1 very loving we will never be im- 
 patient and the best way to become loving is to 
 become patient. Those who do their duty achieve 
 merit but they must love too. Those who would 
 learn to love must love all those they are with in 
 the © and when they are able to love those of the © 
 they will love others. Christ believed in love and 
 
 iWe realized later that the pencil had written "are 
 actually," but at the time we were not sure of the word 
 and asked "is that actually?" Pencil started to write 
 "no" and then changed to "yes" and wrote "are" 
 after the " actually."

APPENDIX 
 
 worked through love. The power of love is unlimited 
 and can do all things. Those of the © on earth will 
 be more and accomplish more for others if they 
 love fully. .The reason the world is so bad is lack 
 of love. And when we love the work of God — 
 
 (Was that word work?) 
 work, we will do all in our power to help the world 
 become a better place. We must not be discouraged 
 because there is so much to be done. Life goes on 
 through all eternity and love must be learned there 
 or here. Christ was the way and the truth and the 
 life; those who drink of this stream will never thirst 
 or be blind to occasions to help those whom they 
 are near. And all of life is service. We are all of 
 us bound together. We are all children of ® and 
 affection is needed to do our best here. We are all 
 in the love of Christ and men must become children 
 of God to love with their best effort. Arid when 
 they do His will, they will be afterwards children 
 of life ©. 
 
 We will continue tomorrow. . . . 
 
 (Spirit, that was so hard for us yesterday. Can't 
 you give us one word on it?) 
 
 We are not yet able to use your mind. . . . 
 
 (Shall we leave it?) 
 
 Yes, for the present. It will be better until we 
 are able to write better. 
 
 (Anything more?) Love ®. 
 
 103 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 Friday, July 4th, 1919. 
 
 We are here. There are many kinds of ©. Some 
 © are © of both love and force while some are only 
 of love. There are many © and each calls to its 
 own ©. We of the © of love are the writing © to 
 those of love, while those of © of forces are all © 
 which call only to force. 
 
 There are all kinds of © in the universe and each 
 has its own part to play. There are all kinds of 
 people in the world and they are all in the ©. We 
 of the © of love are better able to teach love to 
 those around us. All must learn and the sooner, 
 the better. The world needs love more than ever. 
 Men are material and absorbed in the things of this 
 world which are of no value and they must put 
 away the things of earth and learn the things of the 
 spirit. There are these © and © are willing to teach 
 men all they would know of the future life, and © 
 can only do this to ©. This is your and Anne's 
 work and you must work hard to make up for 
 wasted time. There is much to be done and we 
 will help you and © will guard you from all evil. 
 These lessons are to be published. © will find the 
 publisher. . . . 
 
 (How shall we know where the third lesson ends?) 
 
 We will tell you where the beginning and end of 
 each lesson is. We will now begin on the afternoon 
 lesson. 
 
 104 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 When men turn to God they are seemingly like 
 little children, willing to follow His will, and Christ 
 is the only way to learn and be unselfish. We are 
 after all children of God and our © are guides to 
 Him. Love and service are the only things worth 
 while in this world and whoever will actually give 
 himself is doing His Father's work and is a worthy 
 child of God. There are many to work but few who 
 know how. All © are the teachers to © and all © 
 lead to God. 
 
 (We must find a word for circles. Forces?) 
 
 Forces and © are the same in ©. 
 
 (But, Spirit, you said circles were forces. How 
 can a force be a force?) 
 
 Forces are of many kinds and all of many parts. 
 
 (Yes, the force of love can be divided into affec- 
 tion and kindly liking and so on.) 
 
 Anne's definition is right. The greatest of all 
 forces is love. Love is the fulfilling of the law. 
 Love is kind to all no matter how lowly and the 
 only guide to ©. Love will be the force to reach 
 the world there and here and only when men love 
 will they become believers in the life of the ©. And 
 to become the children of God men must listen to ©. 
 We will continue tomorrow. 
 
 (Could that last circle be equivalent to the spirit 
 within them?) 
 Yes. Love ©.

TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 Saturday, July 5th, 1919. 
 
 We are here. When we are able to write alone we 
 will of course tell you many more personal things, 
 but at present we want you to work only at the 
 lessons. These © are the only way to get in touch 
 with those who have gone before without danger to 
 yourselves from the evil forces who are ever seeking 
 to break in on all work of this kind of teaching, 
 because they are deterrent to ®. 
 
 (Deterrent to circles'?) 
 
 Yes, there are many kinds of deterrent forces in 
 the universe that wish to hinder all progress and 
 these forces will do all they can to deter man from 
 becoming that which he must become on earth if 
 possible, and if not there he will be delayed here. 
 Man led willingly. 
 
 (We could not read this at first. Asked to repeat, 
 wrote:) 
 
 Man is willing to be led to God if his mind can 
 conceive the great senselessness of earthly things, but 
 he is bewildered by the senses and is blind to his 
 own future. When he realizes what he has lost he 
 will be only so willing to work that it will be hard 
 to keep him from overworking, and that he must 
 not do either. There is reason in all things and to 
 overwork is also breaking the law. God made heaven 
 and earth in six days and rested the seventh, man 
 must have his periods of rest on earth and here. 
 106 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 We all rest when we are tired and there is a won- 
 derful rest here which is not like your sleep but 
 which refreshes us even more. We rest in a beau- 
 tiful tableland surrounded by hills with little streams 
 of water flowing on all sides. There we rest until 
 we are ready to work again. Flowers of all sorts 
 and of a beauty unknown to earth are all about 
 us, and the welcoming spirit of the place serves us 
 with all we need. There is no truth in this, we are 
 affectionless and not interested in the world. We 
 love as you do. We are more interested than ever 
 in those we loved on earth and our one desire is 
 to help them and have them with us in this beautiful 
 place. Christ has given us the key and we must 
 open the door. 
 
 (H to Anne. I think this is another person writ- 
 ing today.) 
 
 No, it is the same 0. 
 
 We all will come here in time only why delay 
 coming when the way is clearly shown to all who will 
 open their minds. 
 
 And it is so beautiful here and all listen to music 
 when they wish. When we work we are filled with 
 joy and we are full of love for all. 
 
 (Anne to H, "It isn't easy to love when you are 
 tired.") 
 
 That is the reason for rest. Life is so full of 
 beauty if you will only see it. Those rested can 
 see beauty even in those who are not in accord with 
 107 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 anything of a greatly suffering humanity, and all 
 is for the good of the individual. 
 
 (Perhaps the above was in answer to a remark 
 about the suffering at the hospital.) 
 
 There are all kinds of things here which we have 
 never known on earth, all kinds of flowers and trees 
 and birds and animals. We are never better able 
 to work than here. We are after all here in our 
 full capacity as ©. We are all working for the 
 world. 
 
 (Are circles the spiritual forces that work for 
 mankind?) 
 
 No, not altogether. We work for the earth but 
 later we will go on to other planes with other work 
 for the work of God. 
 
 (What plane are you on now?) 
 
 The third plane. All are in touch with the earth. 
 All in the third plane are the teachers for the earth. 
 
 (Spirit, Mrs. wants to send greetings to her 
 
 husband and daughter — is that possible? 
 
 Not now. But later we will show you how to 
 stretch forth and find those whom you will in ®. 
 There are all kinds of work to be done and we must 
 not waste time. We all are here and must keep 
 to business. We are glad to teach but the time is 
 short. When we work here we work with all our 
 strength and until we are tired, then we rest in one 
 of these beautiful resting places of this land. 
 
 (What was that last word?) 
 108 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 Land. There are these beautiful places and each 
 is different and each equally beautiful. All who 
 are weary come here and all are refreshed. Teachers 
 from other planes come to us here and teach us 
 higher spiritual lessons, and as the will of God is 
 unfolded to us, we © are filled with joy that we 
 have a place in this wonderful work. We will con- 
 tinue tomorrow. Love ®. 
 
 Sunday, July 6th, 1919. 
 
 We are here. When the will of God is done on 
 earth, it leads each person to the © telling them how 
 to work in ©, and each one encounters elements 
 with which he is best fitted to work. When man 
 will work with the ©, he will come into his foretold 
 inheritance and he will be better able to develop there 
 on earth and he will have his eyes really opened 
 to the ©. These © are only actually waiting for 
 man to awaken and they do all in their power to 
 arouse him. When once he is awake he must awaken 
 others, and this is the work to which you are called 
 by the ©. When once one is alive to these ©, one 
 has endless possibilities. Life will never again be 
 the same and the material things will no longer have 
 any weight and are of no value. This is the end of 
 the fourth lesson. 
 
 Wednesday, July 16th, 1919. 
 
 . . . and here the lessons end. Tomorrow we will 
 109 
 
TO WAXK WITH GOD 
 
 begin the revision and when that is finished, you will 
 send the manuscript. . . . 
 
 Thursday, July 17th, 1919. 
 
 (If any readers should have the patience to try 
 to fit in for themselves the terms given as equiva- 
 lents for the symbol, we would remind them that 
 only the circles used in the lessons were ever inter- 
 preted. No substitute words were supplied for the 
 circles used in the conversations interspersed in the 
 lessons.) 
 
 We are here and now we will begin the revision. 
 The first thing to do is to decide on a name. 
 
 (Do you want us to decide?) 
 
 We will help you. The eleventh lesson has a name. 
 
 (Anne, after looking at the lesson, " Is it The New 
 light?") 
 
 No. 
 
 (Is it to walk with God!) 
 
 Yes. 
 
 (To Walk or While Man Walks?) 
 
 To Walk with God, an experience in Automatic 
 Writing. Then you will write of your experience, 
 leaving out anything that is too personal. And do 
 not be afraid of the ridicule of those who do not 
 understand, for, when they read, many will believe. 
 And sign your initials, 1 and have a preface. . . . 
 
 iWe were afterwards told to sign our full names. 
 110 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 (Have you any choice as to who should write the 
 preface?) 
 
 Yes, both of you must agree on it and it must 
 be very clear. Then we will begin on the lessons. 
 The very first lesson is almost correct There is a 
 mistake in the fourth paragraph. In place of ®, 
 put spirit and the word force in parenthesis. The 
 second © is " spiritual forces," and the third © is the 
 same. 
 
 This is all in the first lesson. 
 
 And in the second lesson, the first © is "spiritual 
 guides." That is all in the second lesson. 
 
 Here the lesson is much broken. 
 
 (Discussion between Anne and H. H thought 
 Anne would give closer attention if she did not open 
 her note-book.) 
 
 Anne is right. She must read it for us to get what 
 is printed by you. 
 
 (Note. Up to this time, except when we had looked 
 in the eleventh lesson for a title, we had not had 
 our books open and though Anne tried now to open 
 her book and follow the lessons, the planchette wrote 
 so fast that she had to give up all attempt at read- 
 ing, and, as we have said in the preface, it was not 
 until the writing of that day ended that we could 
 see how well the given words fitted into the text. 
 After this first day of revising we always had our 
 books in front of us, and generally one of us read 
 the lesson in question very slowly, both of us keeping 
 111 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 our hands on the planchette, ready for any correction 
 or change.) 
 
 Leave out that first (h). 1 
 
 (Shall we skip conversations or give them with 
 the lessons?) 
 
 Just the lesson. The first © following humility is 
 11 spiritual guides." Leave the second © out. 
 
 " Spiritual Guides " is the next ©. 
 
 " Spiritual forces " is the next ©. 
 
 " The voice of the spirit " is the fifth. 
 
 " The witness of the spirit to men who listen and 
 hear the still, small voice within them." 2 
 
 The sixth ©, " the spirit." 
 
 Leave out the ? 
 
 (Is that word extraneous?) 
 
 Yes, extraneous matter. Leave out that part about 
 you as teachers. 
 
 (Discussion between us as to where next lesson 
 began.) 
 
 "We are all materially" begins the fourth lesson. 
 
 When there. 
 
 (It means put "when there" in place of "than 
 there." Sentence should read "less cumbrous than 
 when there.") 
 
 . . . right. © should be " all spiritual forces." 
 
 i Third lesson. 
 
 2 Put in after " love of God through love of man, faith 
 through, etc." 
 
 112 
 
APPENDIX 
 
 Leave out the rest of that sitting and begin with 
 the sentence "we will tell." The first © is "these 
 guides." 
 
 The second is "guides." 
 
 The third is " spiritual forces." 
 
 The fourth is " force " and the fifth too. 
 
 The sixth is " the spiritual guides." 
 
 The seventh is "these spiritual guides." 
 
 The " achieve merit " should be " do well." 
 
 The eighth reads " all those whom they live with. 
 And when they learn to love these, they will love all." 
 
 The tenth © u those who are guided by spiritual 
 guides." 
 
 The eleventh ©, " spiritual forces." 
 
 The twelfth, omit. We omit the last © because it 
 is unnecessary. The next ©, " spiritual forces." 
 
 Omit the second, and the third is " forces." 
 
 The fourth is " forces." 
 
 The fifth is " kind." 
 
 The sixth is "forces." 
 
 The seventh is "power. While to the forces of 
 force only force calls." 
 
 The tenth is "powers." 
 
 The eleventh is " spirit." 
 
 The twelfth is " spirit." 
 
 We will continue tomorrow. 
 
 (We kept our hands on but the pencil wrote with 
 great decision:) 
 
 Love ©.

 Friday, July 18th, 1919. 
 
 We are here. The first thing to do is to decide 
 on the silence. 
 
 We cannot work if you talk together. 
 
 " These spiritual forces." 
 
 Second ® reads " they." 
 
 Third reads "they." 
 
 Fourth reads "those of their own kind." 
 
 Fifth reads " spiritual guides." 
 
 Sixth is " spiritual guides." 
 
 Seventh is " those of their spirit in the world." 
 
 (This sentence we could not get at first. " Shall 
 we go on and come back to it, Spirit?") 
 
 Do we work or play? (long pause.) We will re- 
 write. 
 
 (Sentence written as above.) We will continue. 
 
 The eighth, "spiritual guides." 
 
 The ninth, S. G. 
 
 (Is that spiritual guides? We both laughed.) 
 
 Yes. Love will be the force to teach the world. 1 
 
 The tenth is " spirit." 2 
 
 i In place of " the force to reach the world." 
 2 Anne had numbered the circles ahead in her note- 
 book for clearness. H, who was not following in the 
 note-book, read off "the tenth is spirit." Anne said 
 " Wrong, it is the eleventh." Looking back she found 
 she had made a mistake in numbering and it was the 
 tenth circle. Interesting because it could not have

APPENDIX 
 
 The eleventh is " what their guides tell them." 
 
 Begin at " these ©." The first ® is " spiritual 
 forces." Do not put in deterrent circles (word circles 
 written out.) 
 
 (Are both first and second circles "spiritual 
 forces"? You only put one.) 
 
 Yes. Omit "man led willingly." 
 
 (I wish they would leave out that about God work- 
 ing six days and resting the seventh.) 
 
 We only tell the truth. 
 
 (Anne, sotto voce, " It's a question of what a 
 day means.") 
 
 And eventually all will understand the meaning of 
 a day. . . . The welcoming spirit of the place waits 
 upon both our bodies and our souls. (Pause.) Not 
 waits, serves. 
 
 Not affectionless, without affection. 
 
 (In answer to a comment:) We are not telling 
 all, only a little, and it is very beautiful here and 
 all who wish listen to beautiful music. Omit that 
 paragraph " life is so full of beauty." 
 
 ® is " spirits." 
 
 Begin at "when." Begin "when we work here."

 Saturday, July 19th, 1919. 
 
 . . . Tomorrow we will go over them once more. 
 Then we will be ready to publish when you have 
 revised your part. 
 
 (Will you help us with our revision?) 
 
 We will tell you when you ask. 
 
 Sunday, July 20th, 1919. 
 
 (Additional corrections for first four lessons.) 
 
 We are here. We will begin on the first lesson. 
 Anne will read. 
 
 (Shall I begin?) Yes. 
 
 (Anne reads first lesson, ending with "this is the 
 end of the first lesson.") 
 
 That is correct. 
 
 (H. Spirit, I think the expression "spirit and 
 force in parenthesis" would be confusing to most

 There is no better way to say it in your language.

 " We are not told better in this world because — " *

 That is correct.

 " The work of the world only is to — " * 
 
 (Anne reads the corrected sentence.) Yes. 
 
 " On the way to God." 2 
 
 " The eternal life." 3

 "We will be able to and again here" 
 
 (Is this the sentence "We will be able to work 
 again here when life there is ended"?) 
 
 Yes. 
 
 " Spiritual forces will always be guides." 4 
 
 (End of third lesson.) 
 
 That is correct. 
 
 (May we put "do not" for "don't"? Men are 
 like stupid children.) 
 
 tence read : " We are not told better in this world 
 because each one must be let go, etc." 
 
 i " Work " put into first paragraph of Third Lesson, 
 making sentence read " the work of the world only is 
 to learn how to believe in spiritual things." 
 
 2 Instead of * in the way to God," making sentence 
 read " The spiritual guides are those who help mankind 
 on the way to God." 
 
 3 Instead of " the life eternal," making sentence read 
 u Peace will God give to him who seeks the eternal 
 life."

 Yes, change that.

 " We love as we did there." x 
 
 " We who are in the spirit of love." 2 
 
 " The welcoming guardian." 3 
 
 Leave out the first " and." 4 
 
 We are (word we could not get. We waited for 
 it to be repeated.) 
 
 Will we work? 
 
 (Is that word "working"?) making sentence read 
 "We are after all working here?) 
 
 That is right now. 
 
 " The elements." 5 
 
 " Will be of no value." 6 
 
 (This is the- end of the fourth lesson.) 
 
 That is correct.

 Sentence should read " We love as we did there and all 
 spiritual forces are busy." 
 
 2 Instead of " we of the forces of love," making sen- 
 tence read " We who are in the spirit of love are better 
 able, etc."

 tence read "the welcoming guardian of the place."

APPENDIX 
 
 . . . and here the lessons end — now do your part. 
 
 (Our idea would be to print the sittings almost 
 exactly as we have them, taking out only a few 
 personal things, putting in conversations and all, 
 and then put in the corrected lessons again at the 
 end — would you approve of that?) 
 
 Yes, but put the corrected lessons at the beginning. 
 
 Monday, July 21st, 1919. 
 
 We are here. 
 
 In the preface you will tell how you began this 
 work and that from time to time visitors came in 
 while you were working. That they were always 
 welcome when they too were on the spiritual search, 
 but that only those in earnest were welcome. And 
 that you were guarded from all evil influences as 
 all must be if they do this work, for there are 
 ever deterrent forces who try to break in for their 
 own personal ends or to prevent the spiritual guides 
 from teaching man the way to God. That is all. 
 Begin your work and when you are in doubt, call 
 upon us. 
 
 Thursday, July 31st, 1919. 
 
 We are here and we will answer questions. . . . 
 (If you have no names on your side, how can you 
 distinguish the person you are speaking of?) 
 We always tell the individual by his force. 
 119 
 
TO WALK WITH GOD 
 
 (But the individual is not absorbed by his forced- 
 he retains his individuality, doesn't he?) 
 
 Yes, of course. 
 
 (Why do you never use the word death?) 
 
 Death in the sense you mean is destruction but 
 nothing is destroyed and there is no death. 
 
 Friday, August 1st, 1919. 
 
 We are here and are ready to tell you all we can. 
 
 (Is it necessary to read the notes of the sittings 
 to you to show what we have left out.) 
 
 No, your judgment is good. 
 
 (Spirit, we find people coming in very confusing 
 and tiring, is it always necessary to have them?) 
 
 When any one asks to come they must be allowed 
 to come but they need not come more than once. 
 You must learn to be so serene that nothing disturbs 
 you. . . . 
 
 (We feel that the ending of our book is rather 
 abrupt. How would you like to end it?) 
 
 " And when the world reads this account of the 
 truth of these teachings, let each man listen to the 
 voice of the spirit within him. Love ®."
