“I remember now,” said she, “as distinctly as though it were yesterday, what Father promised us in our first estate, that if we were faithful, we should be added upon, and still added upon.  Do you remember it?”

“Distinctly,” he answered.  “It was to be ’glory added upon our heads for ever and ever.’  Father is fulfilling his promise.”

Then they sat still, not being able to speak their thoughts, but looked out towards the cloud-encircled towers of the city.

Alice came running in.  “The people are coming,” she said.

They looked out of the window and saw two persons approach, viewing the grounds with interest.

“It is Henrik and Marie,” exclaimed Signe.  The newcomers were greeted rapturously.

“Come in and see the results of my husband’s planning,” said Signe.

The visitors were led through the house, and shown the gardens surrounding it.  As they had been separated for a time from their friends they had many things to tell each other.

“Do you 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.”
