“We were taught to
believe that the Great Spirit sees and hears everything, and that He never
forgets, that hereafter He will give every man a spirit-home according to his
deserts: If he has been a good man, he will have a good home; if he has been a
bad man, he will have a bad home."
Chief
Joseph Nez Perce

were revolutionary and drastic proposals, but the moment I fully accepted
them, the effect was electric. There was a sense of victory, followed

confidence. I felt lifted up, as though the great clean wind of a mountain
top blew through and through. God comes to most men gradually, but His impact
on me was sudden and profound.

laid at our feet. We have found much of heaven and we have been rocketed into a
fourth dimension of existence of which we had not even dreamed.
