Still on their journey, Frank takes Bertha to a vast forest, then they continue on and can hear the waves of the crystal sea in the distance. They ascend up a hill and there is the Temple where the throne of God is! She describes the temple somewhat in detail: pearl steps, channels of crystal water from under the altar, a dome upheld by pillars of gold, four angels with trumpets praising God...the glory of the Lord fills the Temple. Both are overcome with emotion and awe. As they travel home by boat down the river on the other side, they see their loved ones - in windows or on flowered lawns - at twilight, enjoying their domestic lives. They are still in awe and are mostly travelling in silence. She ends the chapter vowing to "reach the standard of perfection You have set for me, my Savior". Quite touching.
