266 SWEDENBORG’S CORRESPONDENCE. [ Doc. 236.
2. Henry Hess, brother of the deceased, my very good
friend, whether, and when he will be convinced of that power
of faith and prayer which I teach ; and of which he still
entertains doubts ?-and which of the inhabitants of Zürich
who are yet in a doubtful state will be convinced ?
3. Shall I ever be so happy as to converse with angels
or spirits of the deceased without any false fanaticism, and
without disobedience to the commandment of God not to
interrogate the dead ; and by what manner of life, or by what
virtues I can arrive at such a high privilege?
4. Whether the dream I had on June 9th, this year,
proceeded from Felix Hess ?
Be not angry, thou most excellent and learned man, with
a very studious disciple of the truth, who will neither be
rashly credulous, nor be a disbeliever, but who has an open
breast, ready to receive from his inmost soul whatever truth
beams forth. Farewell, do not suffer me long to wait in vain
for an answer. May God and Christ, to whom we belong,
whether living or dead, be with you,
JOHN CASPAR LAVATER
of Zürich,
Minister of the Word of God.
Zürich in Switzerland,
August 24, 1768.
