Then wherein lay the secret of the power which drew him to her? The vastness of the spiritual world held enough for study, research, and for occupation. None needed to be idle, for there were duties to be performed, as much here as in any other sphere of action. In the Father's house are many mansions. In the one where Delsa lived, she and Homan sat in earnest conversation.
"A company of sisters is soon to leave for earth, and I am going to say farewell to them." "Delsa, you do not go with them? You are not leaving me?" "No, Homan, my time is not yet." "May we not go together? but there that is as Father wills. He will ordain for the best. There are nations yet to go to the earth, and we shall have our allotted time and place."
Her face shines with the indescribable glow of immortality. She sees her husband. She raises her arms, and takes a step forward. She smiles such a smile! "Homan Rupert." "Delsa Signe." He takes her in his arms. He kisses her and holds her to his breast.... Presently strains of music came from another room. He listened as if surprised, but she looked up into her husband's eyes and smiled.
Not obtaining bodies themselves, they will seek to operate through those of others." "Now we know how temptation and sin will come into the world," said Delsa. "God grant that we may overcome these dangers again, as we once have done." They conversed for some time; then Sardus departed to perform some duty. "I, too, must go," said Delsa.
I think we ought to grow into a perfectly rounded character, cultivating all of Father's gifts to us, but not permitting any of them to become an object of worship." "Remember, we take with us our various traits," said Delsa. "I think, Homan, your view is correct. It is well enough to excel in one thing, but that should not endanger our harmonious development."
Through the opening leading to the garden appeared the stately form of Sardus. Homan sprang to meet him and greeted him joyously: "Welcome, Brother Sardus, welcome!" Delsa arose. "This is Brother Sardus," said Homan, "and this is Sister Delsa." "Welcome, brother," said she. "Come and sit with us." "Sardus," continued Homan, "I thought you lost. I have not met you for a long time.
"I have noticed, Delsa, that you are quite an adept at depicting the beautiful in Father's creations." "I?" she asked; "there is no danger of my becoming a genius in that line. I do not care enough for it, though I do a little of it." Thus they conversed; then they sang songs. Tunes born of heavenly melody thrilled them.
All his influence had been used with the wavering ones, and many were those who owed him a debt of gratitude. But his greatest reward was in the peace which dwelt within him and the joy with which he was greeted by all who knew him. Through it all, Homan's thoughts had often been with the fair sister Delsa; and often he had sought her and talked with her.
It pleased him greatly to see the earnestness and energy with which she defended the cause of the Father. He was drawn to her more than to the many others who were equally valiant. As he thought of it, its strangeness occurred to him. Why should it be so? He did not know. Delsa was fair; so were all the daughters of God. She had attained to great intelligence; so had thousands of others.
"By what name may I call you?" he asked. "My name is Delsa." "Will you tell me where you live? May I come and talk with you again? It will give me much pleasure." "Which pleasure will be mutual," said she. They parted at the junction of two paths. "How art thou fallen from heaven, O, Lucifer, son of the morning." Isaiah 14:12.
