+Teacher and Guide in this new world of Spirit, as he had been on earth. And so, as a child is taught in successive grades in the schools, I began my education in this new sphere of action.
+I looked at Uncle Peter. He was as young as I! The eyes, large and luminous as ever, were filled with the old love, and yet there was about his whole figure a grandeur that awed me.
+A light surrounded him—golden, glowing. He wore a white garment, shining and soft, similar in fashion to a Roman toga.
+I looked down at my garments. They were grayish in colour and strange. The uniform of the battlefield, soiled and torn, had disappeared as suddenly as the war-torn earth and horrible din of battle.
+Then I learned that the body in which I now function is a counterpart of the physical body which was necessary for life on the earth plane. When we emerge from earth conditions, in a perfectly logical manner our earthly garment slips from us and we wear its counterpart, very much like it, yet made of finer, lighter material designed and adapted to life on this higher plane of being. This body is one and the same body, one covering another, sheathing the real “I” or soul. The gray colour is a sort of essence of earth matter which clings to the garments of the newly-arrived souls, growing lighter and lighter as time goes on.
+As Uncle Peter and I moved along the path, the gardens I had glimpsed before came in view more fully. They appeared to be endless, and as I looked at the marvelous colours of the flowers and as their fragrance was wafted to me, suddenly a joy so great I could not bear it possessed me . . .
+God! . . . I was free at last! . . . Free of the filth! . . . Free of horrible death in every form! . . . Free of all abominations of the Pit of Hell I had endured in the name of “Duty!” Death? . . . Why, this was Life!
+Turning, I looked in the smiling eyes beside me.
+“Yes, I know, dear lad, how good God is to release you from the battlefield. Soon you will understand much that is hidden from earth-dwellers, and by and by, when you have rested and the memory-scars have faded from your racked and tortured soul, there will be a work for you, as there is for all of us over here
