Roberts Liardon tells us that watching Jesus as He passed beneath the trees outside, Rebecca saw two young girls approach Him. She knew who they were—Mary Bates and Mae Camden. Flying to meet Him with great joy, they took His hands and accompanied Him on His way. Rebecca realized that they were like younger children with a dearly loved elder brother.

Mrs. Wickham appeared, and she knew that Rebecca’s heart was very full from her encounter with Jesus. Gently leading her to the door, she allowed Rebecca to go without speaking.

Roberts Liardon tells us that arriving at home, Rebecca found Frank sitting on the veranda. One look at her face told him that she had been with Jesus. Rebecca hurried to the solitude of her room where she relived each moment she had spent in His presence. She began to thank God for this privilege and then joined Frank in praise to her Creator.

Roberts Liardon tells us that as Rebecca and Frank walked on, they approached beautiful houses made of fine marble, surrounded by vast verandas. She had never seen this type of architecture before, and the flowers and vines were far more beautiful that anything of which she might have dreamed. She saw joyful faces looking out at her and heard happy voices from the homes.

Upon being asked where they were going, Frank explained that he and Rebecca were going home. He led her to a beautiful house of light gray marble sheltered by graceful green trees. To her surprise, she heard a well-loved voice exclaim her joy in being the first to welcome Rebecca. It was a dear friend, Mrs. Wickham, who embraced Rebecca warmly. Frank and Rebecca invited her in, but she insisted on waiting until later, reminding them that they had all eternity!

Roberts Liardon tells us that Frank led Rebecca up the stairs to the veranda and into the house between large marble columns. The reception hall had an inlaid floor, a window with mullioned glass, and a wide, low stairway. Before Rebecca could speak, Frank took her hands and welcomed her to her heavenly home. It was to be for Rebecca and Frank’s brother, once he came. He led her into a large room made of polished, pale gray marble. The walls and floors, however, were covered with beautiful roses of every type and color. Attempting to gather some up so she would not crush them, Rebecca found them to be embedded in the marble! Frank explained to her that a group of boys and girls had come to the house one day asking if it really were for the Springers. Upon being told that it was, they replied that they had loved the couple and wanted to help make the house even more beautiful. The girls, who carried bouquets of roses, began to toss them over the floors and against the walls, where they remained attached, giving the appearance of fresh flowers. The boys produced tool cases and through some celestial art, embedded each flower in the marble.

Rebecca asked Frank who these young people were, and he named them for her. She realized that her love for these children on earth had brought her additional happiness in Heaven.
