There are some who are completely governed when they come into the other life by the imagination that there are little children in their arms, as many as they can possibly carry in all kinds of positions, just so there is a multitude of them, and at the same time, a line of boys and girls out in front of them. [Approaching] in this manner, they ask where the Lord of the place is, wanting to show Him their infants and children. However, when asked [why], they said that they wanted to nourish their children. On interrogation, these appeared to be like the people who have long inhabited Lapland, and not unlike them as to dress. But this has now begun, because they have now been instructed, and previously they did not come in this manner, but at the sound of two muffled horn blasts, they would enter with hideous little animals. Those people, on account of their love of little children, are more acceptable than many others, for the heavens love that love. 1747, 30 December.
