About This Book

This novel mixes spiritualist revelation and speculative romance, following a circle of psychically attuned characters in hilltop springs who experience angelic visions, séances, and soul-development practices. A veiled woman joins a family of mystics, participates in healing and prayer circles, and learns from manifested guardian spirits who teach love, perseverance, and the immortality of the soul. The narrative moves between intimate devotional instruction and imaginative voyages to other planets, including Mars, presenting travel as both literal journey and moral allegory. The author frames the tale as testimony born of personal visions and aims to console readers with teachings about continued life, prayerful living, and universal charity.

DEDICATION.

It gives me great pleasure to dedicate this book to all my readers. I also dedicate it to my dear father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Perkins. To my two brothers and three sweet, lovely sisters; to my dear friends Dr. Willard P. Burke and his brother, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Burke and his only son, Willard Franklin Burke, and only daughter, Millie Burke. To my husband, Charles Wilder Glass, and to my only child, Jennie May Glass. All these dear souls have been a great comfort and blessing to me. In my darkest hours they have thrown their sacred influence around me. I dearly love all these and many hundreds of others. I wish I could express in this little book my love for all humanity. May my daughter be as great a blessing to the world as she is to her father and mother. My earnest prayer is,

May God protect her,
Love be true to her,
Joy draw near to her,
Home a joy to her,
Health stay close to her,
Life be dear to her.
Wealth find what you can do for her;
Search your treasure house thro and thro for her.
May God and His dear angels, and our loving
Saviour guide her steps forever, is my prayer.
