All they in the spirit world will appear Natural spirits can See each other & their shape will apper as Natural as it here & when we were in the spirit world with our Father in Heaven all was as natural as it is here & it will be the same after the resurrection. we shall rejoice together in the Eternal Worlds with all our friends & with God now do your duty
