know," said Henrik, as they were all sitting by the playing
fountain, "on our way here, we met Rachel!"

"Is she also risen?" asked Signe. "Oh, why did you not bring her with
you?"

"Well," said Henrik with a smile, "I told her where we were going and
asked her to come along. But she naturally preferred to stay with her
husband who was taking her to see some of his own people; so she
graciously declined, but said she would visit with us some other time."

"Right away?"

"I can't say. She clung pretty closely to her husband. They are a
splendid pair. I am glad, for I will admit that I once thought Rachel's
case was hopeless."

"We couldn't see very far, could we, brother?" remarked Rupert.

"Our faith was weak, and we did not trust the Lord enough."

"Yes; I used to wonder how the Lord would ever straighten out the mass
of entanglements that seemed to exist in the world. We failed to
comprehend the providences of the Lord because we could not see beyond
the narrow confines of the world in which we were living; we could see
only a small part of the circle of eternity; we could not see how that
visible portion, which was often rough and unshapely, could fit into
anything beautiful; but now our vision is extended, and we have a
larger, and therefore, a more correct view."

"And this I have found," said Henrik, smiling at Signe and Marie as with
arms around each other, they sauntered down the garden path, "I have
found that our work never ends. While in earth-life my mission was to
seek after those of my people who had gone before me, and to do a work
of salvation for them in the temples. In the spirit world, I continued
my work preaching to my fellowmen, and preparing them to receive that
which was and is being done for them by others. And now, I find, that I
am busier than ever. We are teachers, directors, leaders, judges, and
our field is all the earth."

"Yes," replied Rupert, "I attended the laying of the corner-stone of the
one-hundredth temple the other day; and we have only just begun. The
time, talent, wealth, and energy that formerly went to the enriching of
a few and that was spent to build and sustain armies and navies, now
are directed to the building of temples and the carrying on the work in
them. I used to wonder how the needed temple work could ever be done for
the millions of earth's inhabitants, but now I can see how simple it is.
Tens of thousands of Saints, in thousands of temples, in a thousan
