Most importantly, however, was a letter he received from a Kingston clairvoyant. It was delivered to the Prime Minister’s private train. Unprompted, she had written to King and shared a vision with him involving his late father. I’ll let Mr. King take it from here.

“(Rachel Bleaney) wrote of having seen near me as I spoke, the figure of a man who held a hand to me and smiled, who was round about and who at the close the address put his two hands on my head and said to go on in ‘faith and courage’ and I would win a great victory,” the PM wrote. “(The clairvoyant) added this ‘guide’ appeared to me as having a bandage over his eyes… At first, I thought the figure might refer to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, but it is unmistakably dear father. I have been waiting to receive evidence of his presence.”

Once again, King wrote, Bleaney’s vision proof there was life after death. “No one can make me believe this is not all real,” he continued in his diary, that this little woman is not a clairvoyant revealing the presence of those I most deeply love and are near to me at this time. “I believe it is all true.”

With that, and with the election being held the following day, the 10th Prime Minister went to bed. “I have fought a good fight, a clean and true fight, and I believe I will be victorious,” he concluded his account of the day. “It is a campaign I can look back upon without a single regret and as a great spiritual experience. I believe the way is broadening out to larger and better things. I am profoundly grateful in my heart to God.”
