an epoch of reaction, nor a return to out-worn
ideals, but an advance towards something new.
But of what sort? Let us wait!
At the end of our conversation a question
escapes my lips like an arrow which flies
skywards, “Do you know Swedenborg?”
“No; but my mother has his works, and has
found wonderful things in them.”
From atheism to Swedenborg is only a step!
I beg him to lend me Swedenborg’s works, and
my friend, that Saul among the young prophets,
brings me the Arcana Cœlestia. Moreover, he
introduces a voung man to me who has been
highly gifted by the powers. The latter relates
to me events in his life which only too closely
resemble my own. When we compare our trials,
we find a new light thrown upon them, and we
gain deliverance by the help of Swedenborg. I
thank Providence which has sent me into this
small despised town to expiate my sin and to be
delivered.
