Within the Gates    The Return     The time came one day as I was in my lovely room that had really become to me a shrine, that I turned and lay down for an instant's rest. But strange thoughts and fancies crept into my brain, such as I had not known for years. I felt confused and bewildered and started up restlessly from my pillow, only to fall back again in doubt, and something akin to dread. What could it mean? Could the old unrest of Earth find place in this divine retreat? Then I heard unfamiliar voices.         Someone said, "Her color is better than it has been for several days, I think."         "Yes, there is no doubt but she is better today. There is really hope for her now, I am sure. But she came very near passing through the Gates."         "Very near passing through the Gates!" As though I had not passed through, and in returning left them so ajar that gleams of the heavenly radiance from beyond them will fall about my life forever!
