I AM HERE. Saul of the Old Testament.

I am the same Saul that called up Samuel, or, rather, who caused the woman of Endor to do so.

I was a wicked man in those days, and I knew not the Love of God, and very little of the love of my fellow mortals. I was a cruel man and a worker of iniquity, and I violated God’s Laws in many ways.

As you have read, I came to the end of my resources and went to consult Samuel as the last resort. I did not know that God had abandoned me until Samuel had told me.

(Mr. Padgett asked a question.)

Yes, He did, and He was my Protector as long as I obeyed Him and did what was right in His Sight. I know that He did because, when I obeyed Him, I was successful and happy.

I only knew from what the prophets told me, and they claimed to have communications with God in some way. I believed this and, hence, thought that God was protecting me.

I am a redeemed spirit now and am happy in the Love of the Father. I became a lover of the Father and an inhabitant of His Kingdom long after Jesus proclaimed the great Truth of Divine Love restored. Before that, I was a spirit who lived in the happiness which I experienced in developing my soul and becoming a good spirit, free from sin and error. But this happiness is not that which I now enjoy.

I want to confirm what Samuel said as to the woman of Endor. She was not a witch or evil woman, but a medium who received communications from the higher spirits of the spirit world. She has been abused for centuries and should not be thought of further as a wicked woman.

I will not write more tonight.

(Mr. Padgett questioned Saul’s understanding of English.)

Well, do you suppose that we of the spirit world stand still in our mental advancement? I know all the important languages of the earth and can write them and understand them. Do not think that spirits do not learn here, just as they learned as mortals. The only difference is that they can learn so much more rapidly and can retain their knowledge more easily than mortals can.

So, I will say good night.

Your brother in Christ,

SAUL.
