That's a good guess: TWTP W.E.Van Amberg: The Way To Paradise, 1924
Here's a site that has the full paragraph: http://www.freeminds.org/history/part3.htm
"You will find valuable information in the older publications." Our Kingdom Ministry, Jan 1988, p. 7 like the following???? |
1925 "You have made all
preparations for father and mother. The home is all ready; a special room is
prepared for them, fitted with every thing you can think of that might give
pleasure and delight. You then call up the princes at Jerusalem, state your
case, and make request that your father and your mother might be awakened. In
joyful expectancy you wait. Some morning you hear talking in the room you have
prepared. There was no one there last night. You know that there are no thieves
or intruders; for all such experiences have been eliminated. You do not need to
be fearful; so you listen at the door. You hear father's familiar voice saying,
'Mother, where are we? Are we dreaming? Why, I thought I attended your funeral
last summer; then I was taken sick, and they had the doctor, and that is the
last I can remember.' Mother says: 'I don't understand it either, Dear. The last
I can remember is that I was so sick, and you and the doctors were standing at
the bedside, and you were holding my hand. What has happened? We are not sick
now, and this room is different from any room I ever saw. It is so beautiful and
everything is so peaceful. Just hear those birds sing, and did you ever! Why,
where did you get that suit of clothes? You are handsome as you were on our
wedding day.'" {TWTP 228-9}
