Dear Ann Landers: Tho other night several of us were recalling our favorite Ann Landers letters. Mine was the one from the girl who was sweet on a fellow but she was upset by the fact that he couldn't bring himself to give her a compliment. She wrote to ask If something ‘he.had sald the night before might be” considered “praise.” He held her hand, looked her . square In the eye and sald, ‘Wilma, honey, you eweat jess than any fat girl | know.’’ That letter cracked me up, Ann.

Cleaning chimneys, maintaining dampers and in- stalling spark arresters should head the list of mostly small talk.

During the next 30 minutes that he was clinically dead, he made a round trip to a beautiful city — Heaven! “T felt my spirit leave my body,” he said later. “Faster and faster it travelled until ahead of me I began to see irridescent lights beckoning me into the most beautiful city I had ever seen. “Then I saw one resplen- dent light emanating from the center of the right of God's .throne. I recognized Jesus, my Savior!" - Ford said he was wel-. comed into His presence, and began to worship Him. While in Heaven, Ford talked with Jesus . about returning to earth. “,. . he gave me a command that I will never be able to discount: ‘Son, go back, and go with a commis: sion — as an officer to join , * forces with those of my army who will usher in my King- dom Age.’: a “With that, my spirit returned to my body. It felt cold. I smiled at one of the nurses, and she plugged in the cod to the monitor ...I had been with Jesus at least half an hour.” The story of Marvin Ford's visit to Heaven is told by Dr. Wilkerson in his book, “Beyond and Back,” a Ban- tam paperback. It is one of the. many startling cases he has uncovered of people who have died, visited the other side, and then returned.
