ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE, GREENWICH, NOVEMBER 8TH, 1896

My Dear Brother, — I am really glad for the passage you have quoted from J.N.D. for it confirmed what was in my mind on the point in question. It appears to me that the faculties which are suited to our conditions ^[p. 126] of life in this world — such as memory, the power of reasoning and drawing conclusions, etc., will not be suited to a scene in which we shall know as we ourselves have been known. I imagine that a glorious body involves faculties of a different order in which we shall not recall our earthly course as memory now can — but we do not know much about it. When Christ presents to us at the judgment-seat His estimate of our earthly course, I judge that is the end of it. What we apprehend then will be by the Spirit. Deuteronomy 8:2, 3 has certainly no application to heaven but refers to lessons which we learn here.

With love in the Lord,
Your affectionate brother,
F. E. Raven.
