THROUGH
THE
MISTS
R.J. Leys A timeless classic of the Spiritual Life TO THE READER I heard, within
my spirit home, a wail: - “If only one could come - could tell the tale Of his
experience on that other side;
Could rend the mists - could fling the portals wide,
That we might see - might understand - might know!”
The agony disturbed me, and my heart said– “Go!”
Love cheers me on, but ignorance resists
The power by which I hand this‘Through the Mists.’
THE AUTHOR. - 3- RECORDER’S NOTE TO THE FIRST EDITION I have no desire to add
anything to the following story more than a brief explanation of its origin, and

my connection with the same. It was Christmas Eve, and I was busily engaged with
some annuals lying on my table, when a stranger - uninvited and unannounced -
entered my room‘while the door was shut.’ His presence did not disturb me, since
I had entertained such visitors before; so, pointing to a seat, I bade him
welcome, and asked the purpose of his coming. He then explained to me a desire
he had long cherished, and asked if I would aid him in its consummation. As soon
as his mind comprehended the fact that he had passed the grave, a yearning
possessed him to find some means of coming back, and telling how men erred in
their conception of that life beyond. At first he feared he had no power to
break the silence of the tomb, but with experience came the knowledge of the
omnipotence of love, by which the lips of death could be unsealed, the proof of
which was granted in our conversation. He desired me to write what he should
dictate, then give his story to the world. How could I answer“No!” Was not I, in
common with every human being, seeking for that knowledge he had the power to
give? Therefore I did not hesitate to take my pen. I soon discovered his
recital, though unorthodox, threw a flood of light upon the Bible teaching,
clearing clouds of doubt away, and reconciling passages therein I could not
understand before. He came to me a stranger, but I soon learned to love him, and
awaited his return with impatience every morning; now, when he has ceased his
record for the present, I look upon the seat whereon he sat so many hours as
being in some mysterious manner half-way‘Through the Mists.’ In sending this
forth in obedience to his wish, let me append the prayer he breathed when last
he left me:-“May God, the Father of the souls of all men, bless this effort of a
yearning heart to lift a portion of the weight of ignorance from the shoulders
of his brethren in the flesh; and grant that the light of its truth may be a
lamp unto their feet in coming‘Through the Mists.’” To this I add Amen! ROBT.
