She seemed to think that in my other character I was all
that was low, mean and contemptible, while she openly avowed that my
present self was noble, honorable, and manly.
There was one hitch, however, which seemed to take root and stand
threateningly in the path of absolute harmony between us, and that was
my belief in Natural Law. She refused to believe the story I told her of
the wonderful Sagewoman of whom she was the re-incarnation, claiming
that it was nothing more nor less than a fancy of my disordered brain.
She also seemed greatly displeased when I informed her that it was my
intention to go out into the world and teach the principles of Natural
Law. It pained her to think that I should allow myself to even question
the authenticity and infallibility of the Bible. Her faith was so strong
and her nature so gentle that I refrained from discussing the subject in
any form, after I found how much she grieved over it. So I said no more
about my experience with the divine Sagewoman and my promise to follow
her instructions during the remainder of my natural life, but confined
my conversation to other subjects, and to the full enjoyment of her
daily companionship during my period of convalescence.
Day by day my weight and strength increased, until at last the time
arrived for me to quit the hospital and go into the outer world. I had
made no plans as to what I should do when thrown upon my own resources,
but felt confident that once well and strong I should find plenty of
work to do with both my hands and brain.
