“If people on earth could obtain just one glimpse of this!” Why does Joy Snell, author of this book, make this joyous statement? Because she believes she has the ability to see into the next world. And what she sees is a secret so startling that she feels bound to share it with you in THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS Here is probably the most widely read personal account of life after death ever written. It gives Joy Snell’s own reasons why death is only a transition to real living, why the world we live in is but a shadow of the true reality we meet in the next! THE HISTORY OF THIS BOOK The “Ministry of Angels” has recently been published in the United States for the first time. Before that it went through 33 separate editions in England and on the continent. The only copies available here were those rare ones travelers brought home with them. And now this book exceeds the beauty of previous editions for it has been crafted with loving care even to its own protective slip case. THE WORLD BEYOND UNIVERSITY BOOKS 845 Chicago Avo.

at nk a QUOTE OF THE MONTH We must begin to look at life and its incidents not as separate ex- periences but as an interrelated continuum. — Marcus Bach SUMMER SEASONING AST SUMMER was, as are most summers to Farr readers, a wonderful, wacky time in which all manner of strange and unex- plained things happened. There was, for example, the oc- casion on which Miss Elizabeth Stockwell of London, England, was walking in Piccadilly Circus and suddenly a rainbow trout appeared, flopping on the pavement in front of her. Miss Stockwell picked up the trout and rushed it to a nearby fish shop where it was Placed in a sink full of water and swam about briskly. The trout weighed a pound. Our correspondent records that it wasn’t even raining at the time —rain- ing rain, that is! CO FLYING MATTRESS N THE Year of Our Lord 1960 — June 27, to be exact —a red and yellow plastic air mattress took off from the private outdoor solar- WS. by the Peso ium of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent L. Varuolo of Highpoint Drive, Penn Hills, near Pittsburgh, Pa., and wandered away in the sky. The Varuolo mattress had never flown before it suddenly became airborne around 3:00 P.M. The mattress was just part of the standard swimming and sun- bathing equipment at the Varuolo home before the event. Both the Varuolos recall there was a sharp gust of wind, but they expected the mattress to come back to earth. They quickly counted heads among their six children when it didn’t. Fortunately, all six heads were still there. Next door, S. W. Hardiman was on a ladder painting his house.

He watched the mattress floating off, too. So did Mrs. Robert H. Anderson, who lives down the block. Last time anyone saw the mat- tress it was a red-and-yellow speck growing smaller in the afternoon sky, and about as high as the air- liner and the private plane which flew past it. of 1S HER FACE RED! NYTHING can be done and now the British Medical Journal reports the case of a middle-aged housewife who drank tomato juice when she was down in the dumps. It cheered her up, she explained, and her consumption averaged out around three and a half pints a day. But alas, she turned the color of a ripe tomato herself and it was some time before the doctors found out why. Seems that an analysis of her blood disclosed relatively large quantities of carotene, which gives carrots their color, and lyco- pene, which puts the red in toma- toes. Then they knew. The doctors performed a kidney operation and took her off tomato juice. Now she’s back to normal. oo) BIG FOOT, LITTLE FOOT |B Aeneas County, the same California area that a couple of years ago gave us the still un- FATE solved mystery of a local Abomin- able Snowman called “Bigfoot” has now come up with a creature that we take the liberty of calling “Littlefoot.” Actually there are three “Littlefeet” — presumably Mamma, Papa, and little “Tiny- foot.” z The Humboldt Standard of Eur- eka, Calif., quotes “an-old-time resi- dent” (not identified by name) as stating that he came across the tracks of a Lilliputian-sized family in the wilds of upper Jacoby Creek. There was one set of broad foot prints about two inches long, an- other slimmer pair, somewhat smaller, and between these two sets appeared to be those of an infant. Tinyfoot’s prints were less than half an inch long, which would make him really teeny weeny. Anonymous trappers report they have seen the tracks before and the creatures that make them are ex- tremely shy and come out only at night. The little fellows are so small, in fact, that their tracks show only in the fine dry dust along the trails. A woman who lives in Jacoby Creek canyon confirms all this and adds that the “Tinyfeet” people are a nuisance. She complains that they obtain their supply of milk after dark by raiding her cat’s dish on the back porch. Our advice is to feed her cat inside.

FATE THE GHOSTLY BAND OF BOREHAM WOOD N° LEss an authority than the Associated Press reports that a veritable orchestra of ghosts is assembling in Boreham Wood, Eng- land. It began with a ghostly bugler whose 2:00 A.M. concerts at a housing development keep the countryside jumping. A citizen posse sat up nights trying to cap- ture the culprit— to no avail. The bugler now has been joined by an equally elusive drummer. “Tt’s no joke and it’s too much,” declares Robert Prior, a member of the posse. “A. bugler was bad enough, but now a drummer. . .” io 2) FAR, FAR WORSE TS Bic Hum of East Kent is far, far worse. The Big Hum is an elusive, deep- throated humming noise that only persons sensitive to the lower sound registers can hear. Nobody knows what causes it; nobody knows where it comes from. It has been discussed in Parlia- ment and in military circles. The Ministries of Science, Supply and Aviation; the General Post Office, the Electricity Boards and Lord knows who all else disclaim any re- sponsibility for the noise. Complaints have come in from all over England but most of them
Page 11
I SEE BY THE PAPERS seem to center in Kent. Tom A. Cullen of NEA Service interviewed Novelist | Edward Hyams and his wife, who started the furore over the Big Hum. Hyams hears the noise only oc. casionally but his wife hears it often. “Tt’s low-pitched and intermit- tent,” she explains. “It is stronger inside the house than outside, louder at night than during the daytime; and on weekdays it’s worse.” Mrs. Hyams has had hysterics twice over the Big Hum. An elec- tronics expert tested her hearing, found it was extraordinarily sensi- tive, which could account for her hearing the Hum more often than other persons hear it. The Hyams were relieved when they began to receive letters from other persons who heard the Hum. Nonetheless, some persons are skeptical about the whole thing. Maybe the skeptics have poor hearing. CO SOMETHING DOWN THERE S fase sort of thing must be ter- ribly frustrating to folks who feel there is an answer to every- thing. At 3:00 A.M., Friday, July 15, the 24,000-ton Panamanian flag tanker Alkaid with a full cargo of crude oil ran afoul of a sub- merged object just as it passed If PROVE YOUR PSYCHIC POWERS WITH A PLANCHETTE! THE PLANCHETTE IS A MECHANICAL MEANS FOR AUTOMATIC Ae IT AIDS PSYCHIC MANIFESTATIONS WHICH HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF BECOMING CONCRETE. The result of an exhaustive search, our authentic planchette is hand-made from a special wood — an “‘alive’’ wood that magnetizes — and will absorb YOUR vi- brations. It measures about 6 inches in length. Smoothly hand-finished, it is pol- ished to a high lustre with a resin polish which, being a wood byproduct, will not interfere with the vibrations which the operator's continued use sets up. HOW THE PLANCHETTE WORKS: Specially-fitted pencil forms one leg of planchette, the other two rolling free on ball bearings. These ball bearings permit ,the slightest indication of movement to “take effect, the tiniest masy of pressure transmitted through your hand. Only a superior product, an authentic psychic appliance, could have this expensive ballbearing feature. Complete instructions for use of the planchette, as well as its care and pro- tection of the vibrations, are included with this advanced psychic instrument.

12 under the Williamsburg Bridge over the East River in New York City. The collision ripped a huge gash in the starboard side of the big ship, forcing the captain to beach her near the United Nations build- ing to keep her from capsizing. Later the ship was hauled off and towed to a dock. What did the Alkaid hit? No one knows at this writing. The riddle was still unanswered after two days of Coast Guard hearings. The Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the Harbor waters and two of their harbor boats swept the area repeatedly, dragging a device of metal pipes and chains designed to become entangled with any obstruction. The equipment was set for various depths but failed to find any object capable of piercing the ship’s steel hull. io 2) SEA SERPENTS ow tHAT the Scots have organ- ized a gigantic scientific hunt to run down the Loch Ness mon- ster, innkeepers and merchants in the vicinity are afraid that the scientists will indeed find “Nessie.” Once the creature is identified the mystery—and the tourist bus- iness — will both come to an end. At Gloucester, Mass., in July, half a dozen persons said they spotted a sea serpent just off the _ FATE coast. Harry and Warren Heath described it as a “strange water animal with a black and white head and two bulging eyes.” Harry apparently got the best look at it. He said it was about 15 to 16 feet long and “looked like the shallow keel of an overturned whaleboat.” The Heaths are lobster fishermen, and the animal surfaced within 30 feet as they were tending their traps. It remained in view for several minutes. Just why these alleged monsters should be so big and yet so scarce is a good question. There is sup- posed to be such a creature in Manitoba’s Lake Winnipegosis. On Sunday, July 24, 20 persons pic- nicking in Manipogo Park, 33 miles north of Ste. Rose, claimed they saw a giant serpent with humps and the ability to travel through the water at 15 m.p.h. A. R. Adam, a Ste. Rose imple- ment dealer, declares he tried to keep up with the animal by run- ning along the shore and could see three distinct humps and estimated that about six feet of the creature was out of the water at one time. The head was flat but not raised above the water. “It really dived under when we came close,” he de- clared. The creature has been seen intermittently for the past 25 years, and is even called by the friendly name of “Manipogo.” Dr. J. A. McLeod, professor of

The test case was brought by Mrs. Mary Attakai 35, a Navajo of Williams, Ariz., who was con- victed in a justice court for illegally possessing peyote. Mrs. Attakai testified she used peyote during religious services of the Native American Church of North America, to which an esti- mated 200,000 Indians belong. She contended that peyote is “a herb of sacrament and a medicine of prayer.” Judge McFate quoted from testi- mony given during the trial by Dr. Omer C. Stewart, a professor of anthropology at Colorado Univer- sity.
Page 15
I SEE BY THE PAPERS Dr. Stewart has spent several years studying the use of peyote. He has used it and it produced “bright, vivid colored hallucina- tions of places, but at no time was I out of control with my environ- ment.” Judge McFate said that evidence presented at the trial indicates that peyote is not habit-forming, not a narcotic. oO THE PSYCHIC POLICE CFFICER NE DAY last fall, Patrolman Donald M. Sabel of Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich., was cruising 15 with a new officer, Patrolman Rob- ert Sass, when they heard another scout car get a holdup report. All that the radio message told was that two vaguely-described bandits had taken cash and jewelry after tying up Mr. and Mrs. Leslie T. Lambardi in their home. For no explainable reason, Of- ficer Sabel directed his partner to swing their scout car along Mack in the vicinity of the side street mentioned. . It was a warm evening and there were many strollers about, but Of- ficer Sabel asked Officer Sass to pull up as he saw a man enter a PROPHETIC VERSES OF ANCIENT SEER OPEN THE DOOR OF THE FUTURE!

16 restaurant. Sabel walked up to the startled suspect, asked him a few questions, and arrested him on the spot after finding he had nearly $500 and a woman’s wristwatch on his person. Sabel took the man to the scene for identification while fellow officers were still question- ing the victims. The criminal con- fessed on his way to the police station. Last winter Sabel saw a parked car on Hawthorne near Goethe. He turned his scout car for a second look and the car tried to pull away. Inside were two nervous youths. Police were questioning them at the station when a call came in from Mr. and Mrs. John Heber- ling that they had just found their home ransacked. The youths con- fessed. Picking out an unidentified and undescribed bandit in a crowded street within 60 seconds after his crime was discovered and solving a burglary before it is even re- ported are the kind of thing that happens frequently to Officer Sabel. Safety Director Vern C. Bailey explains Sabel’s success as an ex- ample of “fast thinking and good judgment. With diligence they can produce what seem like pure flashes of inspiration.” Sabel himself tries to silence any talk of his supposed “powers.” He prefers to credit his arrests to the use of his five “regular” senses.

CO HOW’S YOUR BIORHYTHM? | Re sayS a company called Biorhythm Computers, Inc., is the biological cycle that explains why we have our ups and downs. It is possible to chart bio- rhythms, so they say, and predict when we will operate at peak, average, and poor efficiency. Last April 18, George S. Thom- men, in an article published in the Newark Evening News, predicted that June 22 would be an excellent day for Floyd Patterson to fight, but a mighty poor day for Ingemar Johansson. Thommen, of the Biorhythm Computer Company, was supplied data on the two men and said that Patterson would be in top physical condition while Johansson would be in low condition. In addition, he said that Patterson’s “sensitivity” cycle, which encourages optimism would be high while Johansson’s would be critical. As everyone knows, Patterson clobbered Ingo.

Mrs. Matthews was lying on her living room sofa recently when she looked up and saw a huge red ball of fire come through the closed living room window and through the Venetian blind without harm- ing either. Her first thought was that the atomic bomb had fallen. She buried her face in the sofa and said: “Oh! Lord, not like this!” The ball of fire continued through the living room, passed into the dining room and went out the closed dining room window, mak- ing a sizzling noise as it moved through the house. Mrs. Matthews telephoned her husband who came home from work, took one look at her and began to cry because of Mrs. Matthews’ proof. Earlier that day, Mrs. Mat- thews had a full head of hair. As the ball of fire passed she had felt a tingling sensation in the back of her head and put her hand up. The back of her hand was burned; and all the hair fell out of the back of her head, leaving it hard and as clean as her face. There were burned places on her scalp. * KR If Mrs. Matthews’ story is true, fantastic and inexplicable as it may be, it could go a long way to- ward explaining some of the mys-

20 times the “miracle” hasn’t worked. This has occurred when he went to doctors about his sight. He ex- plains this on the ground that they were “unbelievers.” ioe) THE WEEPING VEGETABLES Gome RECENT discoveries by Dr. Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, a U.S. millionaire who lives in Eng- land, raises serious questions about the ethics of vegetarianism. The vegetarians, many agree, have a higher moral code than meat eaters. They believe it is wrong to kill animals, and the pious Hindu who is careful not to crush an ant or a beetle may feel properly self- righteous about his high ideals. But aren’t vegetables also living things? Yes they are, and perhaps some- thing more than we have always imagined them to be. Dr. Hub- bard takes the most delicate elec- tronic measurements of plants under varying conditions, including life and death. He has found that fruits will register the fact that they are sliced into——in a sense a tomato screams when it is peeled. Deli- cate instruments can measure the death throes of a cabbage. If all this is indeed true, pro- fessional vegetarians face a dilem- ma. For when they sit down to eat their salads, they are murder- FATE ers no less than you and I when we attack a steak. CO DREAM OF CLINTON H, ELLIOTT LINTON H, Elliott’s mother had been dead for 40 years — ever since Clinton was 26. At 66, Clinton was still a sandhog, still working daily out from his home in Cambridge, Mass. One night late in June, Clinton’s mother came to him in a dream. “Son,” she said to him. “You'll be joining me on the 23rd.” Clinton told his wife, Annie, about the dream next morning. “Mamma told me my days are limited and I’m going to get ready,” he said. He began to put his affairs in order. On July Fourth he took his four daughters, three sons and many grandchildren out for a celebration. “Tt’s the last Fourth I’ll be able to spend with you,” he told them. He made arrangements for his funeral and said goodbye to his fellow-workers on the new East Boston tunnel project. They teased him a bit, but he told them that he was going for sure on the 23rd. On that night Clinton was stand- ing with 40 other sandhogs due to start a three-hour shift when a telephone call came for John M. Gunning, operator of a heavy duty crane associated with the project.

FATE Clinton went and fetched Gun- ning and returned to wait for the shift to start. And then, without warning, the tall steel boom of the crane buckled and fell across the shack. It killed three men, one of whom was Clinton H. Elliott. Gunning, the crane operator, was a veteran of 15 years. He said safety precautions had been taken and the automatic brake was on. He has no idea what caused the crane to crumple. The crane and boom were inspected twice every eight hours and had just been okayed 30 minutes before. Two girls, 10 and 12, across the street at the time, were among the most important witnesses. “We saw a big flash,” they said. “Then there was a great big noise. It looked like that big thing was melting. And all the men started running.” One who could not run fast enough was Clinton Elliott, a Jame man. How did his unconscious mind know 27 days before that a steel boom would crash toward him and that he would not be able to escape it? oe) CURIOUS GHOSTS ie Is IN the nature of alleged communications with the dead that conventional persons want little or nothing to do with them.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS ist Church bishops trying to deal with the poltergeist in the John Wesley home. Such a hot potato now appears to have been handed to the Church of England by the late Rev. W. S. Pakenham-Walsh, who left a diary purporting to record more than 30 years of conversations with the restless ghost of Henry VIII, the king with many wives. The Rev. John D. Pearce-Hig- gins, vicar of Putney, a London suburb, says there are “staggering implications,” whatever that means, in the Rey. Pakenham-Walsh’s diary. The documents are now in the hands of the Anglican Church’s Psychical Research group. 23 Pakenham-Walsh was a friend of ‘Pearce-Higgins. When Pakenham- Walsh died in May atthe age of 62 the diary was turned over to his friend. Pearce-Higgins says Paken- ham-Walsh was a man “utterly de- void of self-delusion.” His records, Pakenham-Walsh said before his death, are no more sensational than many parts of the Bible.

SATURDAY and early Sunday, January 16-17, several hundred curious spectators in the Lake Milles Lacs area of Minne- sota watched a huge unidentified object and a display of flashing lights for more than eight hours. The object was gone when daylight came. Highway patrolman John Hogan told UPI at Crosby, Minn., that spectators included five state high- way patrol squads and sherifi’s deputies along with the other spec- tators. They saw an object estimated to be the size of a two-story house with nine flashing lights of amber, green and red. The object appeared to move up and down slowly be- tween altitudes of around 500 to tooo feet. SAGE installation at Duluth did not pick up anything on its radar tracking screen. The Associated Press reported on the sighting from Brainerd, Minn. Tt quoted Deputy Sheriff Bud Kiss-

Thus according to this, what was seen was not a stationary object at all but the same meteor appearing nearly 30 times during the eight-hour period and flashing vari-colored lights each time it ap- peared.

Lyndon B. Johnson Calls for The Democratic candidate for vice- president lights match for fireworks in Congress with demand for close watch on new UFO developments. By Cat 15 HE MOST POWERFUL man in the United States Senate —and a man who may become vice-presi- dent of the United States — has revealed his interest in flying sau- cers and instructed an important military subcommittee to report UFO sightings to him personally. The man, of course, is Sen. Lyn- don B. Johnson, Democratic Vice- Presidential Candidate. His inter- est is revealed in a letter made public early in August by Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe, executive di- rector of NICAP—the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, a privately financed research group. Senator Johnson wrote to Key- hoe in his capacity as chairman of the Preparedness Investigating Sub- committee of the United States Senate. His letter is dated July 6 but was not made public until a 27 Faller month later. A reproduction of the letter accompanies this article. Senator Johnson’s letter to Ma-. jor Keyhoe states that not only is the subcommittee keeping a close watch on the field of UFOs but has “standing instructions to report to me any recent significant sightings of unidentified flying objects along with an analysis of the conduct and conclusions of the Air Force inves- tigation of each such sighting.” It is interesting to speculate on what Senator Johnson means by the word “conduct”, but it is gen- erally agreed that it refers to repeated criticisms of the Air Force policy of denying the existence of UFOs while at the same time con- tinuing to investigate them not only in this but in other countries. The wording of Senator John- son’s letter not only reveals his interest in flying saucers but sug-
Page 28
eee ee. eS gests he is prepared to join forces with others critical of Air Force secrecy policies in regard to UFOs. NICAP has been trying for years under Major Keyhoe’s leadership to break the Government censor- ship. At the same time he made Senator Johnson’s letter public, Major Keyhoe released a statement accusing the United States Air Force of a “wrong and dangerous” policy in allegedly suppressing UFO information. The statement said that NICAP had carefully evaluated hundreds ef UFO sightings by military and airline pilots, missile trackers and other experts over the past three years. _ “Tt was the majority conclusion that UFO’s reported by these skilled observers were unknown de- vices under intelligent control,” Keyhoe’s statement continued. One of those agreeing with Maj- or Keyhoe is Vice Admiral R. H. Hillenkoetter (USNR) who form- erly headed the Central Intelligence Agency. “Tt is imperative that we learn where the UFO’s come from and what their purpose is,” Admiral Hillenkoetter recently warned. He and Major Keyhoe express fears that unrecognized UFO’s could ac- cidentally set off a war with Russia. Keyhoe claims that several false air alerts have already occurred in the U.S. and that some were caused FATE | by Air Defense radar operators’ mistaking “UFO formations” for possible enemy aircraft. It is significant that a similar fear has been expressed by French Gen. L. M. Chassin, Coordinator of Allied Air Forces for NATO. General Chassin has urged world governments to study the possibil- ity that flying saucers exist “if only to avoid the danger of global tragedy.” NICAP has been developing a dossier of evidence on the existence of UFO’s to present to Congress. These items include the following: @ Unusual sighting evidence, in- cluding a close-up observation by a Navy commander who admitted the object frightened him; a well-known scientist’s sighting; an encounter with a giant flying disc by a Navy plane. @ Air Force contradictory state- ments which prove that something is being concealed. @ A Top Secret Estimate of the Situation drawn up in 1948 whose existence the Air Force has denied but has now recently confirmed. The secret conclusion is that UFO’s are interplanetary spaceships. Yet members of Congress were told no such document existed. @ An extract from an AF Intel- ligence Report describing explosions near an Air Force transport that led the plane’s captain to conclude that his aircraft was being shot at

A LYNDON B. JOHNSON CALLS FOR UFO ALERT 29 Letter to Maj- or Donald E. Keyhoe re- veals_ interest of Senator ‘Johnsonin sub- ject of UFO‘s. Daly 6. 1960 ry eames +! Ex Dear Major Keyhoet Thenk you for your recent communication enclosing the Digest of Documented Evidence on Unidentified Flying Objects recently prepared by the National Investigations Cemmittes on Aerial Phenomena, I have referred your interesting material to ihe ataff of the Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee which, at my direction as you know, is keeping a close watch over new developments in thie field with standing inatructions to Yeport to me any recent significant sightings of unidentified #lying objects along with an analysis of the conduct and cen-~ clusions of the Air Force investigation of each such sighting. I certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness and con- sideration in forwarding this type of information to me from time to time as it becomes available, Sincerely, yednesa’ Majer Donald E.

With this ammunition, and ap- parently with Senator Johnson’s support, it looks as though there will be some lively UFO fireworks in Congress in 1961. Those who have been crowing that “flying saucers are dead” may find they are just now coming to life.

I felt cool and comfortable for the first time in weeks. In a sort of semi-conscious sleep I was fully aware of my home surroundings and all the little noises of the night. I could hear the dog mov- ing around outside and, at the same time, I suddenly felt myself standing where it was very cold and dark. Before me was a great iron fence at least eight feet high; each iron rod in it was about four inches apart. There was a great gate there, tightly closed, and on the other side of the fence from me were scores of people. They were the most terrible people; wild, gaunt, ragged people, some without eyes, some without teeth and hair, crip- pled, deformed, mean, savage peo- ple, all very tall, towering above me and all reaching through that iron fence trying to get at me. It seemed as if they all hated me and wanted to tear me apart. The 31 whole dark, terrible scene closed around me with an unknown ter- ror. I remember it very clearly! For some reason not known to me I had to go through that gate. I had to get on the other side of that fence. As I would step toward the gate, the terrible people would all make a wild, screaming lunge for me, stretching their arms through the bars, trying to reach me. I was numb with fear but I had to get through. I thought, “Oh! if I could only wake my husband.” For I still was conscious of his presence in bed beside me at the same time that I was standing alone in that cold, windy darkness, facing that insane mob of inhuman people. “Oh! God,” I cried, “what will I do?” Then I heard a voice, a very familiar voice it seemed, a kind, loving, sweet voice say, “Fear not.” And then I saw him. Oh! the wondrous beauty of that scene and what followed. If I could only tell you what I saw and felt, if I could just give you one glimpse of the dear face of Jesus! But I can only try to tell you as nearly as possi- ble since there are no words to ex- press what I saw and heard and did. I could now see Him plainly in his bright-colored robe, standing on the other side of the fence from
Page 32
32 me, behind and above this crowd of people. There was a shining ra- diance all about him and a beauti- ful smile on his face — the sweet- est, loving smile I ever have seen - on a face! The other people did not seem to hear or see him; they still reached for me. I looked over their heads and up at Jesus and he reached His hand out to me and said, “Hold to the lion’s ruff.” Instantly beside me was a mon- strous lion. He rubbed against my body like a huge kitten. All my fear vanished. The cold wind stopped blowing and I was warm and comfortable. Jesus, reach- ed His hand out to me and said again, “Just hold to the lion’s ruff.” I placed my right hand on the giant lion’s neck and into his big fluffy mane, as I had always called it. When Jesus called it the lion’s ruff, that was the first time I had ever heard it called so. I got a good handhold and hung onto that blessed lion, then I looked up at Jesus and He was smiling. His smile gathered me in and made me one with him. He beckoned for me to come to Him and said in that very gentle voice, “Now, just hold to the lion’s ruff and follow me.” Then the gi- gantic lion and I started walking toward that gate and all that mob of terrible people. They all were lunging and reaching out with claw- ing hands, trying to get ahold of FATE me, when the lion gave a terrible roar. He first turned his head to one side, then to the other, roaring each time. The gate began to swing open and back, pushing the mob of screaming people back and behind it. They still did not see nor hear Jesus but they did see the lion and were afraid. They drew back, cring- ing behind those bars, stumbling back into the darkness. We walked through that gate to Jesus waiting on the other side with that same sweet smile. He beckoned me to follow Him and as He turned IT noticed for the first time that He catried a cane or rod as high as His head. It had a crook or elbow at the top and was so shiny that it blended in with the radiance all about Him. He started walking up a steep narrow trail that shone so brightly it looked like a trail of bright, — shiny mirrors. The lion and I were right behind Him, T still clutching the lion’s ruff. At first it seemed T could not lift my feet, they were so heavy and IT was so tired and the trail was so steep, but as we advanced up that trail I became light as a feather and moved with little or no effort. The lion seemed so happy at this improvement that he frolicked like a pup. Now Jesus was drawing a little farther ahead of me but at every little bend in the trail He would stop and turn to beckon me on and
Page 33
¢ MY VOYAGE TO ETERNITY up that bright, narrow trail with Him. This trail wound up through the sky just like a trail winds up a mountain. On each side of the trail was a beautiful blue mist or vapor. At last Jesus entered into such a bright radiance that He was fad- ing from my sight. Just before He vanished He turned again and beckoned me to follow. He stood holding to His Staff and watched me for a minute or so with that dear look on His face that I have seen on the face of young mothers as they watch their babies wobbling on their tiny legs for the first time. I was still conscious of my earthly surroundings. Yet, I was on that trail with the lion, in the bright light of Jesus. Then I felt my fingers release the lion’s ruff and _his great body moved reluctantly away from mine. I found myself sitting upright in bed watching the trail and that bright light and the shadowy lion all disappear into a fading mist. I sat there motionless for I don’t know how long, watching the wall as if it were a blank movie screen. I cannot remember any sensation or feeling. I seemed to be in a daze, not even conscious of having a body. T got quietly out of bed, put on robe and slippers and went out into the night under the bright moon and stars. I looked up at the sky and tears began to fall. I could not stop 35 them. I felt lonely and sad and I also felt a deep quiet joy, a special kind of joy I never had felt before. I felt free and safe and for the first time in years I felt the blessedness of security! I had acted upon the word of Jesus and held to the ruff of that heavenly lion and strength and courage had poured through me. [ had walked unafraid to Jesus’ side and followed Him to safety and freedom. Now, where was my fear, my sick, weak body, my dark, dreary thoughts, my sad, heavy heart? Somewhere on that trail with Jesus they all had vanished, leaving me free, clean and whole. I now knew that I would follow Jesus on into eternity. I would never again be afraid. Day was now breaking. The birds began to twitter and move about in the trees. I have oft’ times wonder- ed if my feet were touching the ground as I faced that beautiful morning sunrise. I was so happy I could have shouted, although I found myself very quiet as if the whole world must be hushed before the majesty of what I had seen. I returned to the cabin, dressed quietly and started breakfast. The family awakened and all flocked to the kitchen, as usual. As their eyes fell upon me they stopped, they looked and they saw the miracle that had taken place. It

I tried to tell them where I had been, what I had seen and done, but to this day I don’t think they heard a word I was saying. They just stared at me. My mother arrived at the cabin about noon, as was her daily habit, expecting to find me worse as she had each day before. To her great astonishment, I had a large washing on the line and was preparing lunch for the family. As she stepped out of the car I came to the cabin door and said “T am healed.” And I threw my arms around her and lifted her right off the ground. FATE I can tell you now that I never had that second operation. And not only was I healed but I felt 10 years younger, and for days I had the sensation of walking on air. My husband found his pocket just a few days after my walk up that trail with Jesus. Some of the quartz in the rich vein was half gold and it assayed $1586 per ton and there were many tons of it. No doubt many of you have seen specimens of our gold quartz for it was on exhibit at the California State Fair for several years and in many of our larger banks. T followed Jesus from sickness and poverty into health and plenty; into peace and happiness. I was completely healed, for my doctor said, “I have seen several miracu- lous ‘healings and this is one also.” EDITOR'S NOTE: We were intrigued by an odd incident in connection with the above story. A few years ago we received an original manuscript of “My Voy- age To Eternity.” We asked Author Etna Elliott for additional details, but heard nothing from her. After a lapse of time we returned the story. She wrofe us: “I almost fainted when I received the story from you, with @ note saying you had accepted it buf had not received the information you re- quired. | looked into the strong box in which | had kept fhe story for at least 15 years.

UPI Photo. 2,000-year-old bodies found in peat beds bear evidence of weird deaths that pose a mystery for archeologists. By Sih Wiis HE DISTINGUISHED Danish ar- cheologist, Peter Glob, was lec- turing to the students of Aarhus University in Jutland one day in May, 1950, when he was interrupt- ed by a telephone call from the po- lice. Peat-cutters working in a bog near the village of Tollund had un- covered the body of a man. This was not the first time the police had been called to investigate a body that had Jain in the peat for 35 centuries and this time they wanted an archeologist with them. At the bog Professor Glob was confronted with a strange and re- markable sight: “In the peat cut, nearly seven feet down, lay a hu- man figure in a crouched position, still half buried. A foot and a shoulder protruded, perfectly pre- served but dark brown in color like the surrounding peat, which had dyed the skin. Carefully we re-
Page 36
moved more peat and a bowed head came into view. “As dusk fell, we saw in the fad- ing light a man take shape before us. He was curled up, with legs drawn under him and arms bent, resting on his side as if asleep. His eyes were peacefully shut; his brows furrowed and his mouth showed a slightly irritated quirk as if he were not overpleased by this unexpected disturbance of his rest.” Around the neck of this man, drawn. chokingly tight, was a noose formed of two leather thongs! The peat-cutters had been right after all— this was an unsolved crime. But it was 2000 years old —or so Professor Glob judged by the seven feet of peat that had accumulated over the body. The man was naked save for a cap and a belt. The cap was made of eight pieces of skin, with the fur inside, and had a chin strap. The belt was of leather and tied around the waist in a loop. The man had been hanged and then laid in the bog. But why? The man’s face, which was finely pre- served, bore an intelligent expres- sion and did not look at all like the face of a criminal. And would a criminal have been stripped of his clothing and carefully laid out? Many such questions passed hur- riedly through the Professor’s mind as he puzzled over the strange hu- man relic. But the answers would FATE have to. wait for swift action was re- quired to prevent decomposition now that the body had been expos- ed to the air. It was again covered with peat and the section of bog containing it was cut loose and placed in a wooden box. Thus it was transport- ed to the National Museum in Copenhagen. Here, under brilliant arc lights began the probe into the 2000-year-old murder mystery. The body itself was turned over to skilled conservators to be preserved. The archeologists meanwhile com- menced a search into old documents and newspaper files. They were quickly rewarded. Astonishingly enough they found that 100 similar finds had been made in Northern Europe in the last two centuries. The majority of these date from the early Iron Age (2000 years ago). Some are from a later period. A few are from the middle ages. Some of the bodies were undoubted- ly those of criminals executed and thrown into swamps. The Roman historian Tacitus, writing of the Germanic tribes in 98 A. D., records several modes of execution: “Traitors and deserters are hanged on trees; cowards, shirkers, and the unnaturally vi- cious are drowned in miry swamps under a cover of wattled hurdles. The distinction in the punishment implies that deeds of violence should be paid for in the full glare
Page 37
__ of publicity but that deeds of shame ‘should be suppressed.” Other victims seem to have been witches and vampires. These had stakes driven through their breasts or were pinned to the ground with forked sticks apparently to prevent their return to haunt or otherwise molest the living. However, arche- ologists believe that most of the bodies represent sacrifices to the ancient gods. The one striking feature of all -the burials was the lack of grave furnishings. A few of the bodies appeared to be fully dressed, some wore only a cloak or skirt but most of them were stark naked. This contrasts sharply with the lay- ish furnishings that normally ac- company European burials of this period and it supports the theory that this group of interments have a special significance. One of the earliest such finds on record was made in 1797 near the town of Undelev in Southern Jut- land. It was the body of a middle- aged man clad in a leather cloak and shoes and was found lying un- der three branches of hazel. It was faultlessly preserved and so life- like that it frightened the finders who hastily reburied it. In 1835 the body of a woman was-uncovered in a bog in Harold- skaer near Vejle. She was dressed in a leather jerkin and was pinned down with forked sticks and two oe ae a Head of girl found in Windeby Moor shows amazing preservation. Acid in swamp water has “tanned” her skin. boughs arched over her body. Un- doubtedly she had been feared as a witch. Antiquarians who examined the body at the time identified her as the Norwegian Queen Gunhild. She was the notorious consort of Erik Bloodax and legend has it that she was lured to Jutland by King Harold Bluetooth who later drowned her in a peat bog. Modern authorities, however, completely discount this story. Unfortunately most of the early - accounts of bog burials were so in- complete and poorly described that they afforded the archeologists little useful information. The most im-

This well-preserved body was found at the six-and-a-half foot level of the bog and was seated cross-legged, head bent forward. Around the neck was a noose of braided: cord knotted at both ends. The back of the skull was bashed in, probably from a heavy blow, and: the right leg was broken above the knee:. These injuries could have been inflicted before or after hang- ing or, for that matter; after the body was: placed! im the bogs. This: body was: naked! except for a cloth hat found near the head and a piece of leather under the feet. A 55-inch stick of birch lay directly over the body. A year later, in 1947, the body of a woman was found in the same bog. She was stretched out full length, face downward, and the back of her skull also was badly crushed. She was dressed in an ankle-length woven dress with a strap extending over the right shoulder. These two discoveries aroused little interest at the time and were not even reported in the press. It was not until the finds at Tollund bog — which were given wide pub- licity — that they became known to the public. People far and wide now FATE became intensely interested and ar- cheologists scoured the bogs of northern Europe seeking more an-— cient bodies. Then in 1951 Dr. Karl Schlabow, a German antiquarian, reported his discovery of a body in a peat bog in Schleswig Holstein in Northern Germany. It was the perfectly pre- — served body of a 14-year-old girl. The cause of death could not be as- certained although a blindfold was still in place over the girl’s eyes and the left side of her head was shaved. She was completely naked save for a collar of oxskin around her neck. Another body later was found nearby; it was of a 40-year- old man in a poor state of preserva- tion. He had been strangled with a wand of hazel. With the news of these addition- al finds Professor Glob’s interest grew. He seemingly had opened a Pandora’s box of exciting new dis- coveries. Word was sent to peat- cutters throughout Denmark and Northern Germany to keep an alert eye open for human remains in the bogs where they worked. Arche- ologists anxiously awaited further discoveries. They did not have long to wait. In May, 1952, the beauti- fully preserved body of a man was accidently disinterred in a sphag- num bog in Nebelgaard, near Grau- balle in Central Jutland — only a few miles from the bog where Tol- lund Man was found.
Page 39
MUMMIFIED VICTIMS OF THE GERMAN BOGS 39 Like most of the previous finds this body was completely naked but the cause of death was horribly different. Grauballe Man had not been hanged, instead he had had his throat cut from ear to ear! The body was lifted from the grave where it had lain for approxi- mately 2000 years and brought to the Prehistoric Museum at Aarhus. Here a team of scientists worked on it for many months. Experts of the Museum’s medical faculty ex- tracted the liver so that it could be subjected to age-determining radio- carbon analysis. A committee of three dental surgeons examined the teeth and made out, in the name of ’ “Grauballe Man,” a regulation den- tal card. X-ray technicians worked, while professional photographers snapped endless pictures. The Dan- ish police even took fingerprints — they are, perhaps, the oldest now on record. Most important of all the scien- tists enlisted the expert aid of the Danish Guild of Tanners in an ef- fort to preserve the entire body. Earlier finds had been allowed to decay or rot; even Tollund Man had to be discarded, except for the head, because no adequate method of preservation was avail- able. Luckily the Tanners Guild was able to save all of Grauballe Man and he is now the proudest possession of the Prehistoric Muse- um. Thousands of visitors every year pass before the glass case’ where he finally has come to rest.” With what seems like indecent cu- riosity they stare at the oldest lifelike representative of their race, Certainly it must be a strange feeling to look into the eyes of a man who was a contemporary of Jesus; a man who, if he had not himself seen, must surely have talked about, a certain Italian gen- eral named Caesar who was then wreaking havoc in the northland. The question that visitors in- variably ask the Museum attendant is how this man met his death and how he came to be buried in a swamp. It is these questions that Danish and German archeologists have been asking themselves ever since the bog burials came to their attention. One might suppose, offhand, that since most of the victims had been hanged these persons were merely criminals. But only after the adop- tion of Christianity was hanging re- garded as a dishonorable means of death. In ancient times it was con- nected with sacrifices to the gods and was thought to be a desirable way to depart from the world. Hanged men belonged to Odin (or Woden), one of the great gods of the Teutonic pantheon. There is an old legend, for ex- ample, where Odin demanded the lives of King Vikar and some of his warriors as payment for aid he
Page 40
PS eae > SS Re ee = ~s 40- had rendered them in time of battle. Vikar’s people were naturally un- willing to go through with the sacrifice so Odin attempts a ruse with the help of Vikar’s foster brother. He puts a noose around the King’s neck and thrusting at him with a reed says, “I now give you to Odin.” In an instant a bowed branch to which the noose is tied springs up and strangles the king. The reed meantime is trans- formed into a spear, Odin’s weapon and symbol, and pierces Vikar’s body. This legend seems particularly relevant as it describes a ritual- istic hanging as a sacrifice to Odin and also gives an account of a reed changed into a spear. Is this an ex- planation for the sticks that are frequently found with the bodies? Did the stick represent Odin’s mag- ical spear? The lack of clothing on most of the victims is another common fea- ture of the burials and would seem to have special significance. Cer- tainly the peoples in this part of - Europe did not normally go around in the scanty raiment found on the ‘bodies in the bogs. Except for a few months in the summer the climate in this area is cold and damp. . Equally significant facts are re- vealed by the man of Borremose, found in 1946. His hands were so smooth and uncalloused as to sug- gest that he never had done a hard day’s work. Who, excepting perhaps priests and wizards, did not work in this savage epoch? And the rope around the man’s neck was cut short and the ends were twisted to resemble metal “torques” which were common in Iron Age Europe. Hundreds of these have been found and they were always offerings to gods. These and other curious details indicate that the bodies in the bogs were not ordinary victims of mur- der or public execution, but were human sacrifices to appease dark gods. But to which gods were they sacrificed and why? Professor Glob says, “The gen- eral belief is that such naked hang- ings were ritual sacrifices in con- nection with the great spring fer-. tility festival of antiquity.” Such festvals are found in every country of the world in pagan times and they were designed to stimulate the reproductive powers of the uni- verse and assure a rich harvest in the fall. Vestiges of these festivals survive to the present day in the shrovetide revels of Denmark and the fasching carnivals of Germany. Originally they seem to have cen- tered around a fertility goddess called Nerthus. The Roman historian Tacitus has a passage describing the rites of this goddess in his book, Germania: “(The Germans) believe that (the goddess) enters into human affairs, FATE —
Page 41
= re - MUMMIFIED VICTIMS OF THE GERMAN BOGS 41 and travels about among the peo- ple. In an island of the Ocean there is a sacred grove, and in it a holy chariot covered with a cloth. Only the priest is allowed to touch it. - He knows when the goddess is present in her consecrated place, and in all reverence accompanies her as she is drawn about by cows. These are joyful times and places _ which the goddess honors with her presence, and her visit makes holi- day. People begin no war, do not take up arms, all weapons are put away; peace and quiet only are then known and welcome, until the priest leads back to her holy place the goddess, now wearied of mortal fellowship. Then the wagon, the covering-cloths, and —if one cares to believe it — the divinity herself, are washed in a hidden lake. These services are performed by slaves whom the same lake presently swal- lows up. Hence spring the secret terror and sacred ignorance about something which is seen by those alone who are doomed to immediate death.” The worship of Nerthus was very old in Germany but was not adopt- ed in Denmark until about 500 B. C. Tiny bronze figurines rep- resenting the goddess and dating to this period have been found there. They depict her as a naked woman with exaggerated feminine Cua characteristics, much like the “Ve- nus of Willendorf” —the great Earth Mother of Paleolithic times. Around the necks of these images is a twisted double torque resem- bling the noose of Tollund and Bor- remose man. Professor Glob, who has done the most toward solving the riddle of the bogs, sums up his theory thus: “When one looks upon the face of Tollund Man, wonderfully preserved for 2000 years, one can- not see in his expression that of a criminal, tortured and hanged for some brutal crime. It is rather the face of a man who in supernal exaltation took the noose around his neck knowing that he went to his great goddess, to Nerthus and her fair handmaidens and that by his death he ensured the life of his people for the coming year.” A news dispatch from West Ger~ many under the date of December, 1959, reported the finding of the body of a man in a bog near Neu- muenster, about 40 miles from Kiel. It was “well-preserved” and estimated to be 2000 years old. Antiquarians guessed that it was the “product of some. strange kind — of administration of justice.’ It was found at the 13-foot level of the bog. This latest find is still being studied. Co)

_ Africa’s Two Most Powerful Wizards Meet Nzige who used a deadly snake as a@ walking cane, and Nguvumali who had q@n uncanny ability to detect evildoers, By Gu t i/ lens Hopper ate ‘ ‘, le , . sy LLL : : Influence of Nzige the One is said to extend even beyond Africa.

Men of Afri- can descent born in the West In- dies and other parts of the Western World, having learned of this Afri- can sage, have come to confide in him and accept his advice. Not only Africans but many white men, including myself, have confidence in his outstanding wisdom and re- spect for the almost unlimited in- fluence which his organization wields in this modern world. When I first met Nzige in Zan- zibar in 1951 he told me that he had come from Livingstone, near the Victoria Falls, and that he had several thousand followers with whom he communicated. Today the followers of Nzige possibly run over the million mark because in Ghana alone he claims more than 4,000 followers; in Central Africa possibly 15,000; in Nigeria more than 300,000; and in other parts of Africa, including the Union of South Africa, Portuguese East Africa, and the Belgian Congo, this remark- able wizard controls the destiny and prosperity of at least 500,000 peo- ple. Nzige is a tall, sardonic-looking man with heavy-lidded eyes and a great deal of personal magnetism. His hands are long and slender — 43 Ly 4 Nguyumali had unusual extrasensory abil- ities. He and his followers wore a horn fashioned from a single clump of hair. the hands of a healer. He spends hours, days and weeks with the Elders of his Circle, en- gaged in the study of ancient magi- cal methods. He speaks and writes fluent English and says that in the years to come English will be the language of the African continent. “The English and the Ameri- cans,” he said to me, “have been our friends. Our experiences with other nations have not been so happy. It is prophesied that we shall
Page 44
44 always remain friends despite minor difficulties from time to time.” During the Mau Mau trouble in Kenya, Nzige the One was always against the murderous gang of fa- natics whose thirst for blood led to the death of so many Africans. Un- known to the white top brass ad- ministrators he was aided and en- couraged by many of the lesser of- ficials who now aver that Nzige did as much as anyone to end the Kenya blood-bath. “Why the slaughter? Why the hatred? Why the hurry?” Nzige asked. “By 1972 Kenya will be ruled by the Africans and there will be peaceful white men living hap- pily in the land. It is written!” The first time I ever saw any- one use a live snake as a walking- stick was at Igalula, near Tabora in Central Tanganyika, in 1955, when I attended, as guest of honor, a meeting of Nzige’s “Inner Circle of Elders.” And it was Nzige him- self who carried this unique cane. At first I took it to be an ordin- ' ary cane covered with snakeskin and I commented on the excellence of the work. “Yes, it is excellent work,” said Nzige, “because He who made it has made all things — even you Bwana Guillan, your powerful Serikali (Government) and your mighty Queen!” With that he rubbed his walking- cane swiftly upward with his right BATE. hand whereupon it collapsed onto the ground and slithered away in- to the grass. Even when one sees such things it is hard to believe them. For a moment I felt that I was under Nzige’s undoubted hypnotic influ- ence and Nzige saw the doubt in my eyes. “What you have seen was true,” he assured me. “That nyoka has bitten one of my people. Until that person recovers I have told the snake that he will remain as a slave. See! I will call him back.” He raised his cupped hands to his lips and gave out an extraordin- ary echoing hiss. The snake slither- ed out of the grass to him. Nzige reached down, took it up in his hands, stroked it and the reptile again stiffened into a walking-cane. That reptile was a black-necked spitting cobra—one of the most deadly snakes in Africa! In 1953 Nzige, taking his life in his hands, went into the heart of Kenya’s Aberdare Mountains to attend a rendezvous with the self- styled General China. Travelling by night Nzige was also perilled by the presence of British troops who shot on: sight any African moving through the Aberdare forests after dusk. General China, wearing a string of homemade medal ribbons and an African version of the Iron Cross, at first received the famous witch doc-
Page 45
i ts 5 are AFRICA’S TWO MOST POWERFUL WIZARDS ag tor haughtily. But Nzige remained calm. He ignored the famous title of “General” and addressed the Mau Mau leader by his real name which but few of his men knew. “Waruhio, son of Itote,”’ said Nzige, “I knew your father, who was a good man. And because of that I come to warn you. In a few weeks we shall come to the end of this year. You have just that period to make peace with your own people and with the white men who have never harmed you.” General China snarled, “I shall never make peace with the whites —and those of the Kikuyu who side with the whites will be killed by me!” “Then,” said Nzige smoothly, “I must tell you that in the first moon of the New Year you will be hit in the throat by a bullet from a gun fired by one of your own people. And you will give yourself up to the white men who will find your hands dripping with the blood of the innoccent. Both whites and Af- ricans will sentence you to death and you will die, not from your wounds, but like a jackal in a spring trap — by the neck!” On January 15, 1954, General China was leading his gang of bloodthirsty killers against a village near the town of Nyeri. They were suddenly confronted by a troop of Kikuyu Home Guards whose first volley routed the Mau Maus. Their x “General” was left behind, stag- gering around clutching at his throat. He had been hit in the windpipe by a bullet fired by one of his own people—a loyal Ki- kuyu tribesman. A month later he was sentenced to death by a court composed of white men and Ki- kuyus, and was hanged in Nairobi that same year. It is said in Zanzibar that Nzige is the grandson of the great East African traveller and slave-trader Hamed ben Muhammed ben Juma el Marjebi, known to the people of Africa as “Tippu Tib.” It is said that from his grandfather he inher- ited a mysterious Arabian book of prophecy which has given him un- canny powers to foretell the future. I knew of the existence of this an- cient book and I was anxious to own it. The book is mentioned by the American, H. M. Stanley, who was well acquainted with Tippu Tib. The book is credited with hav- ing forecast the collapse of the German Colonial Empire in Africa. It also predicted the end of the Portuguese dominion north of the Zambesi River. I scoured the alley- ways of Zanzibar for ancient books of Arabian magic. True I accumu- lated a great number— most of them valueless. Then one day... “Bwana Hopper,” said the weird- looking individual before me. His head wasinnocent of any hair save
Page 46
46 in one small circle. At first glance this appeared to be a horn about three. and one-half inches high grow- ing out of his head. On closer exam- ination it proved to be a solitary clump of hair twisted into the semblance of a horn. “Bwana Hopper,” said my horn- ed African. “You are seeking for Nzige the One . . ?” “T have heard of Nzige the One but I do not seek him,’ I replied. “T seek a kitabu (book) which once belonged to he whom we call Tippu Tib.” “Yes,” said the stranger, “then you are seeking Nzige the One be- cause he is the owner of this kitabu and he is the kitukuu (great-grand- son) of Hamed ben Muhamed ben Juma el Marjebi whom we call Tip- pu Tib.” “And who are you?” I asked. “T am Neguvumali and you are Guillan Hopper, an official of the Government. You were once a sol- dier; you have been a sailor; you have had three wives and you have one daughter by the first wife. Your third wife is beloved by the African people. You will find happiness in Africa but you will never return to your native land. You will die in Africa.” Well, for me this was quite a lot to swallow. For one thing I was not supposed to be in Zanzibar. I never before had set eyes on this horned African. And even the authorities FATE knew nothing about my two previ- ous marriages nor of the existence of my Brazilian daughter! “Nguvumali is a name the mean- ing of which (Power and Money) is plain to me,” I said. “Why did you not join to those two words yet another — werevu (wisdom) be- cause it is also clear that you pos- sess knowledge that is denied to other men?” “Knowledge, power, and money are given by Mungu to those who seek these things honestly and do not misuse them,” said the great African witch doctor Nguvumali. That was the beginning of our friendship which ended only as I followed his earthly remains to their last resting place at the head of Mzimbazi Creek to the northwest of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanganyika. On the night of Tuesday, August, 27, 1957, I was sitting on the veran- dah of my house which stood at the mouth of Mzimbazi Creek where the creek flows out into the Indian Ocean. From the mangrove swamps at the edge of the creek came the throaty calls of a million frogs. Mos- quitoes hummed menacingly and the old chameleon perched in the boughs of a delicately perfumed ylang-ylang shot his immense tongue out every now and then to grab off one of the dreaded ano- pheles. Away in the distance, from the village of Konduchi, came the soft thuds of an African drum. O-

-AFRICA’S TWO MOST POWERFUL WIZARDS 47 verhead the gentle breeze set up a spasmodic crackling in the fronds of the coco palms. At the back of it all, from Mzimbazi Bay, came the lulling murmur of wavelets breaking on the white moonlit sands. Then the telephone bell shrilled. IT answered. It was my friend Nick Hutton, then Editor of the Tang- anyika Sunday News. “Guillan,” said Nick, “Nguyvum- ali the witch doctor has been killed in an automobile accident at Mtoni. I know that you are an old pal of his — will you go out and cover the story?” I was shocked. Nguvumali is — no, I suppose I must say was — one of those persons with whom one never connects death. “Okay, Nick— I'll there.” The old bus had overturned. Some of the passengers had been injured. Only one had been killed — Nguvumali. His body was car- ried off to the morgue of the Sewa Haji Hospital and later handed over to his sons who took it to their home in Sikukuu Street. Through- out the night the sons and fol- lowers of the great wizard endeav- ored to bring life back into his battered remains. I was not admit- ted and indeed refrained from even requesting permission to attend these mysterious rites. But I stood out in that dusty dilapidated street get out and heard the dull thudding of the drums, the velvety tones of deep Af- rican voices uttering incantations which had their birth long before the first white men ever stepped onto the African continent. The air throbbed with mystery. Whiffs of incense (bought from the Indians in the market) wafted out through the closed shutters. Then the cock crowed and the sun came up from east of Zanzibar and we knew that Nguvumali was dead — the last but one of the great African witch doctors. Only then I remembered my as- | signment. Why had I waited there all that night in squalid Sikukuu Street? Had I really believed that this man with the horn of hair on his head would rise from the dead? I resolved to get back to facts. I would not rely on my own knowl- edge of Nguvumali. I went first to the District Com- missioner in Dar-es-Salaam, the famed Tim Harris—a down-to- earth, straight dealing British ad- ministrator for whom the African people have the greatest respect. “Tim,” I said, “old Nguvumali —what do you think about his his — let us say supernatural pow- ers?” Tim Harris looked at me keenly. “Guillan,” he said, “you know that I don’t believe in mumbo-jumbo.” T nodded. “But just the same, the fact re-
Page 48
48 mains that there were things which old Nguvumali pulled off which were — well...” He broke off and put on a com- ically official “face”; “there were no reasonable explanations for some of the things which he did!” he concluded lamely. I then went to see Eric Loveluck who. had been District Commis- sioner in Nguvumali’s home terri- tory. Eric Loveluck is a man who really understands the Africans and is in complete sympathy with them. “Nguvumali had supernatural _ powers,” he told me frankly “but there are things which I cannot re- Hee bsrsc. I interviewed more than 20 per- sons before the time came when I followed my old friend Nguyumali to the head of Mzimbazi Creek. There had been the time when a series of ritual murders took place in the Rufiji River area. The civil authorities were at their wits’ end. Little children were vanishing. Par- ents were mourning. The people were terrified. And, of course, as I well know, the District Commission- er must have been worried stiff. Be- cause everyone knew that it was the work of Wa-chawi— evil wiz- ards. When at last the white officials and the African detectives were forced to admit their defeat they held a baraza (public meeting) and one of the members of the audience FATE made the suggestion that they should send for Nguvumali. “Who is Nguvumali?” said the presiding official. “He is one who can fight the powers of darkness and dispel the strongest black witchcraft,” was the reply. Nguvumali arrived accompanied by five young followers, all wearing the horn of hair. From hut to hut the mighty witch doctor strode smelling (they actually sniff), un- til at last he came upon a witches’ den. He poked into rubbish with his long fingers, unearthed the bones of a baby’s foot, a little tooth and — dramatically, pointed to three old hags who confessed on the spot! In Kurasini there had been a tale of murder and of hidden loot. Neguvumali came to the place as a stranger to find that the police had been unable to unearth a single suspect in three days work on the case. Neuvumali entered the mourning household. In one corner sat a mourning woman. In another cor- ner a group of the dead man’s re- lations chatted. Nguvumali sniffed. “Vou,” he said, thrusting his nose in the direction of a young Arab, “murdered Yussuf on the night of the full moon. And you have hid- den his money — there!” And the great wizard pointed into the burn- ing fire. They put out the fire and raised the flagstone which formed

AFRICA’S TWO MOST POWERFUL WIZARDS 49 its base. Underneath they found the hoard — nearly 200 English golden sovereigns. Outside Nguvumali’s humble dwelling in the-village of Kilangwa near Kilwa he had erected a tiny straw-thatched shelter standing about four feet high. Beneath this palm roof lay a strange mound with the green grass shoots protruding here and there. It was-a mountain of East African shillings — each worth 14 cents U.S. currency. No one would dare to touch it. “Not even the white men,’’ said Nguvumali to me one day with a grin. I saw Nguvumali cure a man who was suffering from what appeared to be paralysis of the wrist. We were in Morogoro. Nguvumali took up a bottle of what I knew to be water from the Indian Ocean and smoothed the liquid over the man’s hand. He then proceeded to straighten out the man’s hand, worked each finger separately and left him competely cured. I asked Nguvumali for an ex- planation. “There were no bones broken, there were no signs of damage — so it must come from his brain. He dare not resist me, because I am Nguvumali, so now his hand works again and he’is happy.” Nguvumali has left his own monument in Dar-es-Salaam. In the King George V Museum: there is a great case of witch paraphernalia collected by Nguvumali ‘on his long tours throughout Tanganyika: . “Some of the stuff ponked like hell,” said the lady curator of the museum to me. “We had to: ditch it. But we kept a lot of the most interesting items.” Nguvumali also claimed to be a medium although he* had never heard of the word. One day when we were in Bagamoyo together he told me that: he received. messages from a German who had been killed whilst fighting against the British during World War I. “He told me always to assist the English,” he said simply. Three nights after we had buried the witch doctor Nguvumali in the foothills at the head of Mzimbazi Creek I was again sitting on my verandah looking out to the sea, with the creek whispering softly through the mangroves. Then sud- denly there came a strong breeze from upstream—an unusually strong breeze. “Your friend Nguvumali is talk- ing to you,” said my wife, the wo- man who understands Africans. From that day on until I left Dar-es-Salaam Nguvumali sent me his message of goodwill and’ with this article I salute his memory. C9

China’s history, which West- tion—that the Chinese reached ern experts consider fairly trust- 50
Page 51
worthy goes back for 4,000 years and the last half of this history is based on strictly contemporary authority. The Chinese had knowledge of “many countries lying far from China. More than 2,000 years be- fore the birth of Christ an ambas- sador from a country far to the West wrote out his credentials in symbols now known to be the cuneiform or wedge-shaped writing of Assyria or Babylonia. We know from the buried records of the Euphrates valley that civili- zation was flourishing in China from a date long before the records were made—a fact which helps us believe in the general trustworthi- ness of even very early Chinese history. The Roman Empire was well known to the Chinese. Several em- bassies from Rome to China are recorded by the Chinese, but left no trace in Western annals. They have been proved accurate by the mention of the name of the emper- or reigning at the time the Chinese said the Roman Ambassadors were present in China. At a very early time the Chinese had made considerable progress in the art of navigation. There is no reason to doubt that centuries be- fore the Christian era they were acquainted with the properties of the magnetic needle and used some kind of mariner’s compass. There SI is evidence of their accurate know- ledge of the coasts of the Northern Pacific as far as Kamchatka. Full accounts of that territory were given by their writers in the 6th and 7th Centuries. The distance from China to Kamchatka is given with great exactness. Mention is made of the Aleutian Islands to the east of it and of the custom the inhabitants of these islands had of painting their bodies. Knowledge of the Alaska coastal regions is clearly shown in the old Chinese records. At the end of the 5th Century the Chinese discovered a country lying a great distance to the south- east of Alaska. It is now believed they discovered Mexico or part of Central America. The evidence for this discovery, now being widely taught throughout Red China, is based on the report of a Buddhist priest named Hoei-Shin, which was entered in the official annals of the empire. Hoei-Shin returned to China from a long journey to the east in 499 A.D. and he stated that he visited a country which he named Fusang, after a Chinese plant which resembled one growing in the newly-discovered land. He describes in detail the country and its people and says that he was preceded in his journey by five mendicant Buddhist monks who introduced the religion of Buddha
Page 52
52 into Fusang in 458 A.D. The name Fusang occurs several times afterwards in Chinese writ- ings but there is no distinct record of any Chinese having visited the country after Hoei-Shin. The evi- dence rests almost entirely on the reports of this priest, and it has to be considered whether he really did, as Red China now claims, actually reach some portion of the American continent. Such a voyage was not impos- sible and certainly those persons most interested in making such a voyage at that remote time would have been the missionaries of Bud- dha. The long and arduous pilgrim- ages undertaken by the monks to acquire knowledge of the original sources of their religion and to spread its message in new regions are well known. Some Buddhist pilgrims were away from their country as long as 20 years, wand- ering over the mountains and des- erts of Central Asia, encountering far greater hardships than they would have faced’ on a voyage to America. Some researchers have repre- sented Hoei-Shin as a liar and im- poster because of certain incredible statements in his narrative. For instance, he stated that to the east of Fusang there was a kingdom in- habited entirely by women. Hoei- Shin, however, does not claim he visited this Amazonian country. ‘One FATE: Other researchers suggest that’ Hoei-Shin visited Japan. However, Japan had been known to the Chinese by another name, and from the 6th Century on the two countries were in constant contact: Chinese historian, Li-yen; names Japan as the first stage on the road to Fusang, which he places far to the east of it. Many of the details concerning Fusang are quite inapplicable to Japan. And Buddhism was introduced to Japan, as stated clearly in Japan- ese records, in 552 A.D., and not, as Hoei-Shin says of Fusang, in 458 A.D. Since Japanese authors men- tioned Fusang under the name of: Fou-So obviously they did not identify it with their own country. — Their writings indicate that it was situated in some part of what is now Mexico or Central America. Chinese annals refer to a period more than 10 centuries before the conquest of Mexico by the Span- iards. Therefore, it certainly was not the Aztec monarchy which Hoei-Shin visited; nor even the Toltecs, those somewhat mysteri- ous and apparently more highly civilized predecessors of the Aztecs. His journey was made in the dim, pre-Toltec period. This age was, in all probability, one of higher culture than succeeding periods when the vast cities, whose ruins still astonish us, teemed with peo-

Obviously then, we can’t expect that the details Hoei-Shin recorded to correspond in all respects with the manners and customs in Ameri- ca at the time of the Spanish in- vasion. Customs, handed down through hundreds of years by one people to another, change with time and successions of races. Yet, it is astonishing how many of the details in the Chinese record do agree with known facts about the inhabitants of Mexico and Central America. Hoei-Shin tells us, for instance, that the people of Fusang had a monarchial government, with dif- ferent orders of nobility, as was the case in all Central American states of which we have any know- ledge. He speaks of their reckon- ing time by cycles of years, which we know the Aztecs did. They had borrowed this concept from their predecessors. He mentions that royal processions were accompanied by the sound of horns and trum- pets. This was also true in Mexico. The houses in Fusang were built of wood; so were the houses in Central America. The stone build- ings were invariably temples and palaces. Iron was unknown in Fusang, a fact which evidently surprised the Chinese traveler for he thought it was unusual in a land which had attained such a high degree of civilization. This exactly corres- ponds with what we know of the civilized races of America, none of whom had discovered the art of working iron. Copper, silver and gold were used but were not con- sidered of much value and were not used as mediums of exchange. This, also, is consistent with estab- lished facts regarding the Mexicans and their kindred nations who did not attach as much value to the precious metals as their European visitors. They used pieces of tin and bundles of cacao-seeds for money. The most striking point of coin- cidence, however, between Hoei- Shin’s account and the customs of the inhabitants of Central America is his report of a plant which was used variously by the people he described. He calls it a Fusang tree, a name properly applied to a Chinese plant not growing in the New World. At first this seems confusing. The description he gives of this tree, however, is quite inap- plicable to the Chinese plant but corresponds exactly with the fea- tures and properties of the maguey or American aloe. This plant served a variety of uses for the Mexicans and their kindred nations. Hoei- Shin mentions nearly all of these with accuracy. He says that the fruit and young shoots of the Fu- sang tree were used for food, that
Page 54
54 paper for writing and a kind of linen cloth were made from its bark. This is all true of the Ameri- can aloe, even today. In view of such evidence it seems very probable that the Chinese monk was recording what he actu- ally saw in Central America in the 5th Century of our era. Those of his statements which do not agree exactly with what the invading Spaniards reported of Mexico and her neighboring countries might easily have applied to the state of things more than 1,000 years be- fore. Hoei-Shin says that the people of Fusang used beasts of burden. But the Aztecs did not. It is quite possible, however, that the more civilized predecessors of the Aztecs may have done so. In fact, it is difficult to see how the vast stone structures, now in ruins through- out Central America, could have been built without the aid of ani- mal labor. The only real difficulty is Hoei- Shin’s statement that horses were used in Fusang. The horse, certain- ly, was unknown in America at the time of the Spanish conquest. But the New World did possess an in- digenous species of horse which survived till a comparatively re- cent era. It is doubtful, however, that it survived as late as the 5th Century A:D. It is more probable that the Chinese character for FATE horse was applied by Hoei-Shin to some animal resembling it, as often — happens in language. The Communist claim, then, that the Chinese were the first discover- ers of America has much in its favor. Is further confirmation available from native American sources? The Aztecs employed a kind of picture writing resembling the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians. Some of their manuscripts have been preserved, with Spanish inter- pretation attached. None, however, go back as far as the 5th Century. Even of the history of the Tol- tecs the immediate predecessors of the Aztecs, little is really known. At the same time there is some ground for believing that the Bud- dhist religion was introduced into Central America at a remote period. The Aztecs and other tribes record a traditional king named Quetzal- coat] whose reign was regarded as “the golden age.” Quetzalcoatl was worshipped as a god after his death and many now regard him as a purely mythi- cal character. It is possible, how- ever, there was an historic king by that name. And it is worth noticing that the most prominent feature in the tradition of Quetzal- coatl is his opposition to the bloody sacrifices which were practiced so widely by the Mexicans and other tribes. He is said to have abolished

If historical facts are the basis for these traditions it is quite pos- sible that they may be a misty history of Buddhism introduced into America in 458 A.D.—as rec- orded by Chinese annals. If Bud- dhist missionaries found their way there they certainly would have condemned the uselessness and wickedness of bloody sacrifices. Certain sculptures have been found in the ruins of Central American cities which are thought to represent sacred emblems of the Buddhist religion. The most. re- markable of these looks like the head and trunk of an elephant, found on the walls of Palenque. The elephant was totally unknown in America but was a religious symbol used frequently among the Asiatic Buddhists. It is difficult to see how it came to be carved in an American city, except under the influence of visitors from Asia. Other supposed Buddhist symbols have been observed on monuments, but are of a more uncertain nature. None of these facts do more than lend corroboration to Chinese claims. Perhaps one day fuller confirmation will be discovered. It may be written on the many mysterious, inscribed stones of Central America. Inscriptions are still being discovered on the ruins of Mitla, Copan, Palenque, and other cities of Central America. They are wholly unlike the Aztec picture-writing, and one day they may tell us some truths. Perhaps in the depths of some yet un- explored ruin may be discovered a bi-lingual inscription, like the fa- mous Rosetta Stone. It is even pos- sible that the names of Hoei-Shin and his companions will be in- scribed on some monumental stone and their voyage be thus recorded. wee COAL AT THE POLES ARGE coal deposits are situated within 800 miles of both the North and South Poles, according to Dr. Paul A. Siple, Unit- ed States Antarctic explorer. He believes that some 300-million years ago the polar regions must have been much warmer and thick- ly covered with forests. Although it is known that the poles move a little, he recently told a conference of army scientists in Wash- ington, D. C., the great climactic differences indicated by the coal fields suggest that in the remote past the shifts must have been huge. <—

THE VANISHING CARRIAGE By Dr. Leon W. Dean HEN I was a student at Mt. Herman School in Massachus- etts, in 1910 or 711, a friend, Rob- ert A. Healy, and I had the habit of taking long walks during our weekly holiday, which fell on Mon- day instead of the usual Saturday. One evening as we were making our way along a deserted country road we came upon an old church standing isolated beside it. At the same time we saw, ap- proaching through the dusk from the opposite direction, a horse and old-fashioned carriage. When the quaint old rig reached the church yard we were astonished to see it turn in at the weed-grown drive. As we watched it passed out of sight behind the church, disappearing in the direction of the wagon sheds. The time of day, the loneliness of the spot, some mysterious quality about the ancient vehicle, caused us to follow it. The driveway ended at the sheds and we _ searched through them but horse and carriage 57 had vanished. We could find no trace of them. We never forgot the experience and often spoke of it when we met in later years. However, we were never able to remember just what township we were in. We were some distance away from the school and probably either in Bernardston or Gill township — Burlington, Vt. DR. LEON W. DEAN

58 SPECIAL DELIVERY By Olga Jaros N juty, 1957, I ordered a set _of books which I thought might help me in various puzzle contests. About a week later when a medi- um-sized carton arrived addressed to our house, but with no name or return address on it, I concluded that it must be my set of books. No one else was expecting any packing so I eagerly carried it up to my room and excitedly tore it open. I was dismayed at what confronted me. It was not my set of books but about six small rows of printed cards, all italicized, pre- sumably to be filled in by some religious organization upon the death of one of its members. Puzzled and annoyed at this mean turn of events I tried to col- lect my thoughts as to the best procedure to follow in order to locate its proper owner. Suddenly I was seized by a strong, compelling urge “to hurry up and look at those crumpled pieces of newspapers surrounding the cards!” This, I decided, was utter non- sense. I stubbornly refused to yield to this idiotic premonition but again I was silently, forcefully commanded “to open up _ those newspapers, you fool!” Hesitantly, I followed this fan- tastic premonition and opened first one torn, crumpled piece of news- FATE paper and then another. Upon opening the third piece of news- — paper section I saw that it was part of a New York daily printed just two days before. A black- bordered obituary column seemed — to shriek up at me! As I glanced down the list of names, right in the center of the page my eyes became riveted on the death announcement of my sister’s husband. This sister, confined in an in- stitution for many years, had been released only a few weeks before. Due to circumstances beyond our control we had lost contact with her husband and his family who had thought it best to exclude themselves from us although: they had been rearing my sister’s only child snice birth. My two other sisters and I discussed this new knowledge. By calling up the funeral parlor we learned that my sister’s husband had died of a heart attack in a candy store. Knowing he was a veteran of World War II, we con- tacted the Veteran’s Administra- tion and now my sister has some share of the comforts which his pension brings. If I had not been compelled, by unknown forces, to smooth out packing papers she most certainly would have been deprived of this money which she desperately needs.

TRUE. MYSTIC EXPERIENCES Not many days after this un- usual occurrence a woman rang “our doorbell and inquired about a lost package. She explained it had been inadvertently addressed to our street and it just happened that our house. number correspond- ed to hers. She went away with her package — which had told us something we needed to know. — Elmhurst, N. Y. MY DAUGHTER WAS TELEPORTED : By Barbara Taggart I HAVE A daughter, Sonette, who was 16 at the time of this inci- dent. She was a junior in high school, a good student, attractive, sociable and full of fun. I have been interested in E.S.P. for some time but she has shown very little in- terest in this subject. On a Saturday afternoon, Sep- tember 27, 1958, Sonette and I - drove up to our summer home at Lake Geneva, Wis. We were ex- pecting out-of-town company for Sunday dinner and had decided to bring up the groceries Saturday and get everything ready. My husband, Joe, was to follow Sunday morning and our guests, from Madison, Wis., were to arrive at noon. ‘Our summer home is built on the side of a hill. We go up 16 steps to a small landing, from there the stairs turn and we climb eight more steps to another landing. The front door or rather porch door of the ’ BARBARA TAGGART house opens off this landing. Sonette and I stopped the car in the car port. Sonette got out first carrying her school books, type- writer, hoola hoop and a small sack of groceries. She reached the bot- tom of the flight of stairs, approx- imately 30 feet from the car, about the time I started out of the car with my bags and bundles. Sonette started up the steps and as I reached the foot of the stairs I heard her call, “Mother, mother, come here quick.” “What’s the matter?” I asked. “Come here, quick,” she called again. Then she added, “How did I get in here?” For an instant I didn’t grasp what it was all about. Then I saw Sonette inside the porch, still holding her
Page 60
ih of books, typewriter, hoola hoop, and bag of groceries. And I had the house keys in my hand! TI rushed up and tried the door. It was locked. I had her try it from the inside but it would not open. Then I used my keys amet went in. I Graicacd my daughter at length as to just what had happened and she told me that she reached the first landing, then, all of a sud- den, she was inside the house. She says the last thing she remembers about the stairs is getting to the landing. My daughter had no rea- _ son to fool me or make a joke of this as we were not discussing any- thing of this nature. Anyway, she had no keys. We both were baffled. Since that time I have questioned her about this experience and she always says the same thing, that she didn’t try the door or even set her packages down. She merely found herself inside on the porch. ~ Sonette never refers to the ex- perience but I often think of it. When she was three and four years eld she quite often seemed to know things before they happened. How- ever, this faculty seemed to leave her and since that time, until Sep- tember, 1958, nothing unusual hap- pened. — Rockford, Til. HELP INDEED By Doris Enfield Hicks r 1955 I lived next door to a respected family in Charleston, =ae eS Res rede TES | = oe PATE ; W. Va., whose husband and father had drinking difficulties. Although. he was aware that it was an illness ~ and his solution was in refusing that first drink, he occasionally slipped. Each slip was followed by deep remorse and hardship for his family, since he usually managed to lose his pay check one way or another. One night the state police picked him up several miles from home. He was alone, confused and with- out money. His car was impounded and his license revoked. His daughter, 12-year-old Sue, and I were great friends. She spent nights with me since I lived alone. She was especially close to her father and firmly believed prayer could save him from this weakness. One night shortly after his driver’s license was reinstated he failed to come home at the usual hour. We immediately began wor- rying and several friends went out to look for him without avail. By 8:00 that night we were stre something was wrong. His wife was walking the floor, sick with worry. Sue and I, at my house, tried playing canasta but could not keep our minds on the game. Finally Sue said, “I know Dad- dy has had a drink and if the police pick him up again he will be taken to jail.” I tried to calm her but my own apprehension was not reassuring.

- TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES I remarked, “There is nothing we can do except wait and hope.” She brought me up short by saying, “Yes, there is something we can do except wait and hope.” ' Her faith was so forceful that I agreed we would pray together. At 9:00 o’clock we saw his car turn into his driveway which had a sharp turn on a steep bank. We watched the car slowly creep down the hill and I remarked. “There is a man wearing a dark suit with him, helping him steer the car.” Sue said, “Perhaps he is a police- man who decided to help him home. I’ll run home and see who he is and check on Daddy.” While she was chasing across the lawn to their back door I watched the man in the dark suit gently take Mr. Jones by the arm and help him to the front door, where he was met by his wife. He did not return to the car, so I as- sumed he was a friend who had entered the house with them. Within a few minutes Sue came racing back and said, “Mother put Daddy to bed and he is already ‘asleep. She said he was asleep when he arrived home—and to tell you the pay check is safe. And, you know, there was no man in a dark suit— he was alone.” Then Sue and I both knew who the man was. We knew our prayers had been answered. The man in the dark suit was a guardian angel. : 65 — Lockbridge, W. Va. IN THE GARDEN By Elizabeth Riordan URING MY pregnancy my hus- — band and I lived with in- laws. It was an unhappy situation. During the day I was under constant strain until about the third month when one night I dreamed I was walking in a beauti- ful garden. I heard soothing, up- lifting music although I could not see the musicians. When I awoke I felt refreshed, all tension was gone. Somehow that day was more bearable. Then I noticed that whenever I had a trying day that night I would again dream the same beau- tiful dream. As the months passed the dream came more frequently. It was always the same. After my little girl was born the dream ceased but I often thought about it. When Patricia was about four, in 1931 or 7°32, I took her to a Flower Show at Con- vention Hall in Philadelphia. The Hall had been transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful garden. In the background there was mu- sic — soothing, uplifting music! TI was startled. “This is my dream,” I thought. “My dream has become a reality!” I felt as though I had been trans- ported to another world. At last I realized Patricia was
Page 62
62 tugging at my skirt. When I looked down at her I saw her eyes spark- ling excitedly. She grasped my hand and pulled me down to her level. As I stooped beside her, she said softly, “Mother, we’ve been here before, haven’t we? We've been here lots and lots of times, haven’t we?” “Ves, darling, we’ve been here lots and lots of times, together.” Patricia now has children of her FATE own. I never have dreamed the dream again. But even now some- times certain strains of music, a flower, the soothing shade of a tree will revive the memory of that dream and fill me with peace. Ts there a logical explanation for this experience? I do not know. But I hope someday I will find that garden again and perhaps then I can stay there forever— River- side, Calif. ~>. NEIGHBORS OF NEANDERTHAL MAN HE FINDING of evidence that early modern man lived side by side with Nean- derthal man in what is now the Middle East recently was an- nounced by Dr. T. Dale Stewart of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. His con- clusions are based on studies of bones from two caves in Pal- estine and from one in Iraq, 600 miles to the northeast. Discovery of the Palestine bones was made 380 years ago in the et Tabun and es Schul caves on Mount Carmel by Dr. Dorothy Garrod of Cambridge University. The bones from the two caves, about 100 feet apart, puzzled scientists at the time. They were uncertain as to whether the inhabitants of the caves were undergoing evolu- tionary change, or whether there was a hybridization of a Neanderthaloid and a modern type. Skulls from the et Tabun cave obviously were Neander- thal, while skulls from es Schul showed many similarities to those of modern man. Further, pelvic specimens from es Schul showed distinct differences from a single Neanderthal-type pelvis found in et Tabun. But since the latter pelvis was the only one in existence, it could not be ascertained whether it was distinctly Neanderthal. Finally, in 1957, Dr. Ralph Solecki of Columbia University unearthed the remains of three Neanderthals from Shanider cave in Iraq. Comparing the pelvic bones of the Shanider specimens with that of the et Tabun specimen, Dr. Stewart found that all matched. This, he believes, indicates that the et Tabun and Shanider speci- mens were representatives of a local Neanderthal type which probably became extinct, leav- ing the es Schul people to de- velop into modern man.

1 4 iin f be? ) : THE MURDEROUS WRAITH I was alone in the house—alone with the apparition of a dead woman approaching me with menacing hate. By Edith MM. Whon As told to (E, 1) engk S$ I STARED about the comfort- able living room fear of some- thing vague and dreadful held me in its thrall. I felt something had been stretching out groping, icy hands to touch me ever since a few days before when, in August, 1938, I had arrived at this old home at 2668 Uplands, in Victoria, Canada, as Harry Wilson’s bride. Hate was abroad in the house, making its presence known by a score of mali- cious acts, leaving behind tangible evidence such as was now all about me. Pictures hung askew, an over- turned flower vase dripped water onto the rug. An exclamation es- caped me as I saw that the cover- ing of the new chesterfield had been ruthlessly ripped and torn. Burning with anger I examined the damage. The cloth looked as if
Page 64
~ it had been slashed with some sharp instrument. Deliberate damage this time, not merely things over-turned and pictures twisted askew. The sight strengthened the vague sus- picion I had held since the trouble started; a human agency was at the bottom of it all. Seething in- wardly I made my way to the kitchen. “Mary!” I flung at the woman standing over the stove. “I won’t stand for it any longer!” Mary looked up. “Won’t stand for what, ma’am?” she asked. “This hateful business of up- setting things in the living room every night. This time you’ve gone too far; you have deliberately cut the covering of the chesterfield.” “Ma’am!” Mary straightened up to her full bony height, her pale eyes cold. “I’ve noticed the condi- tion of the living room every morning since you’ve been here, and I leave it like that knowing they is signs meant for you and the master, not me. Them things is done a’tween midnight and dawn, but I don’t do them.” “Then how can you account for it?” I asked angrily. “There are no animals in the house and only three people; Mr. Wilson, you and I.” “Tt ain’t my doings,” Mary per- sisted. “Then —” T began, and stopped, staring at Mary curiously. She was defiant yet scared—of what? FATE Again dread of something unknown gripped me. “Then who is respon- sible?” I finished. “Tt ain’t me, ma’am,” whispered Mary as she stared beyond me, her pale eyes fixed. “Mary, I don’t believe you. and I warn you that if it happens again I shall discharge you.” A grim, expression showed . in Mary’s eyes. “Mr. Wilson might have something to say about that, ma’am. I was housekeeper to him and his mother for nigh on 20 years and I’ve looked after him for the 10 years since his mother died.” “That’s just it,” I said hotly. “You’ve had the running of this house for so many years you re- sent my coming here as the new mistress. During the short time I have been here you have done all you can to annoy me and to frighten me. You have brought a dreadful, hateful influence into what should be days of ideal hap- piness. You —” My voice broke and tears filmed my eyes, causing Mary to extend a bony hand and touch my shoulder. “T don’t hate you, Mrs. Wilson. In fact, P’m right glad to see the master happily married, especially after all the troubles and sadness he’s had. He’s older’n you by a good 10 years, but I could see right from the first it was a love match. And I’m content with my place and I don’t want to leave.”
Page 65
Ses sa eee ee ; _ THE MURDEROUS WRAITH I half believed her, but as I re- called the slashed chesterfield anger and suspicion again flooded me. “Oh, I’d like to believe you, Mary, but how can I? If you are not responsible then —” I broke off with a little gasp as stark horror now showed in Mary’s eyes. Her lips quivered as she replied, “Don’t ask me, ma’am, ask the master. It’s his place to tell you.” “What do you mean?” I was suddenly cold. “Ask Mr. Wilson what?” Mary twisted shaking hands in her apron. “I was hoping that Mr. - Wilson would notice for himself, ma’am, but as you always break- fast in the nook and the living room’s always straightened up afore he gets home, he don’t know that there’s anything wrong.” “And V’ve not told my husband because I thought the trouble would stop once I had won your liking,” I answered shakily. “But Mr. Wilson is bound to notice the damaged chesterfield tonight so I must tell him. And I’m sure that he will be- lieve as I do, that you are respon- sible. “No, ma’am.” Mary’s hands pleated folds in her apron. “He’ll know. God help him, he’ll know.” “Mary, I dislike mysteries and half-truths. Tell me! How can Mr. Wilson put things right?” “Fle must stop hating,” Mary re- ts plied hollowly. “Mr. Wilson is a strong man and he fights his ene- mies, meets hate with hate. But that’s bad, as I’ve told him many times. Only one thing can over- come hate that comes from beyond the grave, that is forgiveness. Mr. Wilson must forgive.” “Bu-but, Mary, what do you mean by hate that comes from be- yond the grave? Whom must Mr, Wilson stop hating?” “Her!” It was a hiss. “All this is her doings!’ “Her!” I repeated. “Please ex- plain.” = “No, ma’am, I daren’t.” Mary was trembling. “If the master don’t choose to tell you what happened before he met you, then I mustn’t. Please, ma’am, don’t tell Mr. Wil- son what I’ve told you. Just tell him about things being disturbed and then I’m sure he'll tell you about /er. Then, ma’am, Plead with him to forgive. And until the master does forgive, ma’am, don’t you ever stay alone in this house between midnight and dawn. She is watching you — and waiting. Watching and waiting! Mary had voiced it exactly. At first I had put the sensation down to being un- accustomed to Mary’s quiet slip- ping about the house in the course of her duties. But if Mary was to be believed it was something else, a malignant presence that did not belong to this world.
Page 66
66 - Mary said softly, “I’ve frightened you but I had to warn you. I don’t ' dislike you, ma’am; I like my new mistress. But unless the master for- gives—” Her voice trailed off. _ “YT shall tell Mr. Wilson tonight,” I said. As the day wore on my convic- tion that Mary must be responsible returned and my fear again gave way to healthy anger. Well, I would tell Harry tonight and no doubt he would put Mary in her place. It was time some action was taken. Thinking this, I was only vaguely aware of the telephone ringing, of Mary’s shrill, agitated voice as she answered. Then Mary entered the living room. She was obviously up- set. “Please, ma’am,” she said. “I’d like to get off right away and not come back till morning. Could you fix the master’s dinner?” “Why, of course, Mary,” I agreed. “Is something wrong?” “Yes, ma’am,’ Mary nodded. “My younger sister who lives here in town has been hurt in a car ac- cident. That was her husband on the phone. He wants me to look after the children for tonight; says he’ll get another woman tomorrow.” “Oh! I’m sorry. Yes, leave at once; I can manage all right. And,” sympathy prompted: me to add, “don’t worry about what I said this morning. I won’t say a word to my FATE husband until you are back.” “For God’s sake no, ma’am! Don’t put that off!” Mary ex- claimed. “I hate to leave you even for a few hours until Mr. Wilson gets home. Tell him, ma’am, and beg him to forgive. And, for God’s sake, don’t stay here alone after dark.” Again fear spread its chill about me but I fought it off. “You're all upset, Mary,” I said quietly. “Now run along; I'll be quite all right.” Mumbling what sounded like a prayer Mary turned and left the room. Hours later the telephone rang again. I hastened to answer. A — warm glow suffused me as I heard my husband’s voice, but the glow changed to a chill as I understood his message. The case he was working on would go to the jury in the morning, so he must stay in his office and prepare his final address. Would I mind his not coming home for dinner? Would I go to bed at my usual hour as he might not get home until after midnight? Because I loved him I forced a cheerful agreement. I did not tell him that I was entirely alone. I did not tell him of my silly fancies. But as I hung up the receiver and returned to my book desolation gripped me. I felt that some vague, malignant thing was chuckling in sadistic silent glee. I was alone in the house
Page 67
THE MURDEROUS WRAITH and it soon would be dark. A lonely snack in the kitchen was my dinner, but the hot coffee re- vived my drooping spirits and [I re- turned to my book refreshed. With the lights glowing cozily the living room was cheerful. But gradually loneliness grew upon me, loneliness and something else. I was finding it hard to concentrate upon the printed pages. Getting to my feet I walked to- wards the piano. But halfway across the room I stopped. My heart stood still. I could have sworn that from the shadow of a far cor- ner there came a hollow, malevolent chuckle. I stared. There was noth- ing there. Of course, there wasn’t! I forced myself towards the piano, sat down and struck a chord. Then I screamed, swung wildly round on the stool—and saw nothing. Malignant eyes were glaring at me, creeping, whispering, evil was there in the room with me. I felt it! I knew! Yet I could see nothing but the familiar furniture and outlines of the room. I fought the terrible fear which engulfed me with cold reason. I struggled desperately with the im- pulse to phone for Harry. But I must not give in to this awful fear of nothing. Once more I turned and struck a chord on the piano. Then -as I played my nervousness sub- sided. I felt that the liquid notes of the sonata were keeping away : 6 the influence of evil. But I. could not play on indefi- nitely to protect myself with an un- seen barrier of sweet music that -hate could not penetrate. As I ceased playing and got to my feet something seemed to stir in the hall. So that was where it was; that was where it had retreated from the music. Calling on every ounce of courage I crossed the room, flung open the door leading to the hall and switched on the light. There was nothing there. I re-entered the living room. My eye fell on the clock. It was past 11:00; past my bedtime. But not for anything would I leave the lighted living room and make my way upstairs. Now, as I collapsed into a big chair, my nerves commenced to give way. Perhaps Mary was right after all. Suppose Mary had been telling the truth, who was this woman she referred to as Her? Harry would explain. He should be home soon. A silent plea welled up from my heart as I thought of him. I had asked him nothing about his past life, I must ask him. If this Her was an old sweetheart, perhaps a wife, then I must know. T couldn’t go on like this. But the whole affair might be an invention of Mary’s and my own - imagination was doing the rest. Why — I sat up straight as the thought struck me: perhaps Mary’s phone
Page 68
call had been a pretense. Perhaps she was still in the house! Then came an even more shocking realization. If Mary was doing all this then Mary was mad. I was alone in the house with a maniac! Because I am basically healthy- minded and practical, I walked across the room and fetched the revolver from a drawer of Harry’s desk. Then I settled myself to watch and wait. But because I had labored all day under strong emo- tional stress drowsiness assailed me. I dozed. Tt was the musical tones of the clock chiming midnight that roused me, caused me to sit up straight and stare about me. The revolver lying in my lap recalled everything. The same death-like stillness prevailed. Midnight, and Harry had not yet returned. Perhaps I had better phone him; he could have fallen asleep over his desk. I half-rose to my feet, then stopped as I saw something move in the shadows of the dining-room. Something was moving towards me! TI could not repress a scream as a woman, who was not Mary slowly advanced. Blind, stark terror en- gulfed me as I shrank back in my chair in a frantic effort to get away from the approaching form of a young woman no older than my- self, but with a face that was a mask of dread, menacing hate. The Bagel FATE skin was livid, the eyes dead and glassy, yet gleaming with malig- nancy. The vivid lips writhed as the thing mouthed unheard words. The hands, out-stretched and claw-like, opened and shut in silent frenzy. I clutched the arms of the chair. The revolver was forgotten. It could avail me nothing against this! Now the ¢#ing was upon me and another scream escaped me, The door flung open and Harry appeared. “My God!” he exclaimed as he saw her. The thing halted, glaring, its eyes now upon Harry, its expres- sion one of frustrated hate. “Lois!” Harry exclaimed. Then he cursed; a deep, bitter curse. It recalled Mary’s words. “Harry!” I said. “You must not curse her; you must forgive.” “Forgive!” There was hate in Harry’s voice. “Forgive — that! She almost wrecked my life! On the eve of our wedding she ran away with another man. Returned later and wanted me to take her back. I refused. I told her I hated her.” “Harry!” I tried to stop him. “Then she spread lies about me, almost ruined me, and because she was ruined herself she took her own life. Even at that she left. behind a letter than blamed me for every- thing. And she said that she would hate me from the grave. And this is
Page 69
THE MURDEROUS WRAITH how she is doing it.” He advanced furiously toward the thing. “Go!” he ordered. Mouthing soundlessly the wraith slowly retreated. And then I was tugging at my husband’s arm. ‘No, no, Harry!” I pleaded. ‘Not like that. If you love me, dear, forgive her. Forgive her right from your heart! Otherwise she will continue to wait and watch, will return whenever I am alone. Harry, for my sake, for God’s sake, forgive her!” I was breathless, clutching his arm, staring into his face. That awful, undead thing also watched, its eyes glittering and baleful. Then Harry’s eyes became quiet, 69 almost tender. His voice became soft. Hands out-stretched he ad- vanced towards her stopping within a pace of that undead presence. “Lois,” he said “my wife is right. Out of hate can come nothing but anguish and suffering. From for- giveness and love comes sweetness, Lois, sweetness and rest. You wronged me, Lois, but I forgive you because you are long dead and I want you to rest.” Slowly the malignancy died out of the dead eyes. I thought it was replaced by an expression of wist- fulness and relief. Then Harry and I were alone. Apparently for all time the wraith of a dead hate was gone. — A “DEAD DOCTOR” PRESCRIBES THRIVING medical prac- tice from beyond the grave reportedly is being conducted in Cairo, Egypt, by Dr. Hamed al-Ghawali, a physician who died in January, 1960. Serving as “assistants” are the dead doctor’s widow, son and three daughters, who claim that his “spirit” prescribes for the ill persons. The clinic is said to have become especially popular with old-fashioned Cairo husbands who are unwilling to have their wives disrobe for male doctors. Patients who visit the clinic are ushered into the consulting room as usual. Instead of a doc- tor, however, they see only a basket covered with a white cloth. The basket contains a pen and the usual prescription forms. After the “examination,” the patient is presented with a filled-out form. The dead doc- tor’s family claims that his “spirit” holds the pen and writes out prescriptions. —,

LIVE TO BE Ly Walter M. Germain, [. D. A former inspector in the Saginaw, Mich., Po- lice Dept., Walter M. Germain is author of the book The Magic Power of Your Mind and of mag- azine articles onthe relation of mind to health. Moan essentially is a self-repairing machine. Can his mind control this machine—and give it a longer span of life? HEORETICALLY,” says Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel prize winner in chemistry, “man is quite immortal. His bodily tissues re- place themselves. He is a_ self-re- pairing machine. And yet he gets old and he dies and the reasons for this are still a mystery.” Writing in The Biology Of Death, published while he was professor of biology at Johns Hop- kins University, the late Prof. Raymond Pearl postulated the u- nique theory that in the beginning the uni-cell was potentially im- mortal because it was sufficient unto itself without any evidence of a death-process. It provided within itself everything necessary to its existence — food, air, elimina- 7O tion, etc.—and multiplied merely by the process of division, each cell always dividing into two and so on. Of course, if this method had continued “ad infinitum” the whole universe would have been overrun with protoplasm and, as Professor Pearl pointed out, there would have been no development of higher characteristics. It was the grouping of the cells into complex structures by God’s divine plan of evolution (the “urge of evolution,” Professor Pearl called it) that necessitated specialization of function which, in turn, brought the death-process, through the failure of some group of cells to carry out its duty to the whole. The disturbance, interesting to note, is
Page 71
always brought about by some re- calcitrant cell. Although Professor Pearl believed that the death-pro- cess originated in connection with the attainment of higher charac- teristics, he did not believe that death was ever a necessity. His theory was that it is caused by the lack of a regulatory process by which each group of cells could be made to fulfill its duty to the whole body. The late Dr. Alexis Carrel ad- vanced a similiar thesis that death is not inherent in the individual cell, but is only the fate of more complicated organisms, in which different types of cells or tissues are dependent upon each other. The incident of death of complex organisms, Carrel believed, could be traced to some rebellious cell in the delicate balance of the whole associated community of cells and tissues which constitute the com- plicated multicellular organism of a human being. Obviously immortality of the human body is possible; but highly improbable in this age of materi- alism,” modern life being what it is—a complication of conflicting mental, physical and moral factors working toward the destruction of the human personality rather than its immortality. Granting that there are numerous causes which contribute to the upsetting of “the delicate balance pt of the whole associated community of cells and tissues,” isn’t there a predominent factor in the “biology of death’? In other words, what is the true origin of disease? Dr. Hans Selye, director of the Institute for Experimental Medi- cine and Surgery at the University of Montreal, claims that “stress — not germs, heredity or other causes —is the true origin of disease.” If this is right then it can safely be said that the difference between health and sickness, longevity and an early death, can be equated as: Anabolism versus Catabolism. Webster’s dictionary defines the biological meaning of Anabolism as “Constructive metabolism; opposed to catabolism.” And the definition of Catabolism is “Destructive meta- bolism; opposed to anabolism.” The definition of metabolism in- cludes both anabolism and _cata- bolism: “The sum of the processes concerned in the building up (anabolism) of protoplasm and its destruction (catabolism) incidental to life; the chemical changes in living cells, by which the energy is provided for the vital processes and activities, and new material is as- similated to repair the waste.” One-hundred years ago, Phineas P. Quimby made the important dis- covery that in order to remain healthy the human organism must maintain a proper balance of molec-
Page 72
72 ular activity which is determined by a definite arrangement of chem- ical elements. His clairvoyant in- sight into the mechanism of the human organism revealed to him three biological facts which have since been verified by medical science: 1. The endocrine gland system regulates molecular activity. 2. The endocrine gland system is controlled by the subconscious mind. 3. The regulation of molec- ular activity through subconscious control of the endocrine gland sys- tem produces either anabolism or catabolism according to the emo- tional nature of the particular in- stinct involved. In an article published in Fare Magazine entitled Dr. Quimby, Pioneer Parapsychologist, Lee R. Gandee states: “Quimby postulated that the concepts held in the subconscious are materialized by this process. Accordingly the mind, accepting an idea and given the stimulation of emotion, sets into action a chain of molecular activities which, by in- creasing the vibration of some atoms and retarding that of others, so alters the structure of the cells that they conform to the idea held, be it one of health or sickness. This, Quimby believed, was an established law of nature and his technique was to replace the concept of disease with one of health, to remove the harmful emotions in the sufferer. FATE “Quimby believed that healing had religious significance because he considered God had established the original balance of a healthy body and healing resulted in a re- turn to this balance. “Thus, to him health with its resulting happiness was God’s in- tention for man and he loved God for this beneficence, so he termed his method. the Science of Health and Happiness, with God its ideal.” Medical science tells us that during the nine months from con- ception to birth, development of the human organism is a virtual repeti- tion of evolutionary processes which required millions of years to con- summate: ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. It seems incredible that a human being was, to start with, a single cell! And in that cell were all the inherited characteristics of the mature individual! As the single cell divides, its various properties are arranged in- to numerous systems.. The en- docrine gland system includes the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and sex slands. Their function is to secrete chemical substances called hor- mones directly into the blood stream. A network of nerves serves as a two-way communication system by which the brain sends messages to the endocrine gland system and the functional organs of the body, and by which the -brain receives
Page 73
LIVE TO BE 100 messages from the countless cells of the body and translates them into ‘sensations and appropriate mental and physical responses. Medical science usually refers to these two basic systems as the neu- _roglandular system. And medical science tell us that the vital processes of metabolism (i. e. anabolism and catabolism) are regulated by the neuroglandular system. The thing that most medical scientists seem to overlook is the fact that the functions, sensations, and conditions of the body are con- trolled by the brain— not by but through the neuroglandular system. There are two main parts to the human brain. 1. A racially older, instinctive and emotional part con- sisting of the basal ganglia and low- er portion. For the sake of conveni- ence this part of the brain will be called the subconscious mind. 2. A racially newer, reasoning and judging part consisting of the cere- bral cortex and middle portion called the conscious mind. The subconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body through the medium of its au- tonomic nervous system. The con- scious mind controls voluntary bod- ily actions through the medium of its motor or cerebro-spinal nervous sytem. The processes of the human otr- ganism which produce conscious 73 thoughts and actions involve both levels of the intellect and the two sets of nervous systems. The so-called subconscious mind is the seat of man’s racial memory which determines the nature of mental and physical reactions to stimuli from both within and with- out the human organism according to previous experiences, fixed hab- its and/or “conditioned reflexes.” The middle segment of the basal ganglia (subconconscious mind) called the thalamus generates an electrical force by which experi- ences of the past and present, in the form of instincts or inborn urges, are expressed in thoughts, words and/or actions. Emotions are instincts in action; hence it can be said that the human organism is motivated by human emotions. The electrical force generated by the thalamus simply provides the power by which the nervous system conveys directions to the endocrine gland system and to the various or- gans of the body. Every cell in the body generates atomic energy by the revolution of its electrons around protons. By this means bodily cells communicate with the brain. For instance, when one stubs his toe the experience is transmitted to the brain as an elec- trical force — atomic energy — of individual cells passing the impulse along the nervous system to the
Page 74
74 brain for interpretation as a sensa- tion, such as pain. The atomic en- ergy generated by the countless cells of the body make it possible for the human organism to experi- ence extra-sensory perception and psi phenomena through the inter- action of the physical body with the etheric body. A full explanation of how stress activates the destructive processes of metabolism, catabolism, is far too complicated to be elucidated here. However, simply stated, negative (destructive) attitudes produce emotional stress, which in turn causes the medulla or center part of the adrenal glands to secrete ex- cessive amounts of adrenalin into the blood stream. This “triggering” of the human organism’s “defense mechanism” is accompanied by greatly increased action on the part of such vital organs as the lungs, heart, liver and pancreas; and by harmful stoppage of diges- tive processes. In other words, emo- tional stress disrupts harmonious functioning of the human organism. When stressful emotions become chronic and habitual, psychosomatic ills result which, over the years, eventually culminate in mental ail- ments and/or degenerative diseases such as heart trouble (including high blood pressure, hardening of arteries, clots and strokes), arthri- tis, diabetes, cancer. On the other hand positive (con- FATE structive) attitudes activate . the cortex or surface part of the ad- renal glands to secrete cortisone- plus hormones into the blood stream. These hormones stimulate the pro- cesses of organic repair medically known as creative metabolism. The importance of positive atti- tudes is disclosed in the following assertion by the late Dr. Alexis Car- rel, a great biological research surgeon, “The chief characteristic of the miracle is extreme accelera- tion of the processes of organic re- pair.” The alarming incidence of juve- nile delinquency, crime, mental ills, and degenerative diseases is un- questionably due to catabolism. These are stressful times! The prospects of the cold war becoming more and more intense makes it imperative that everyone take steps to avoid the ravages of emotional stress, especially at night — because bodily cells are renewed only while one sleeps. There is an occult phase of the cold war which, in my opinion, is largely responsible for the alarm- ing increases of mental ills and de- generative diseases. That Russia is using psychic phenomenon (ESP) as a potent “secret weapon” is high- ly probable. Russia is. exerting ev- ery possible effort to wreck the econ- omy of the free world by under- mining our system of free enter- prise. To accomplish this the Rus-
Page 75
LIVE TO BE 100 sian leaders realize that they must first demoralize the health and morale of the American people. Ways and means of doing this are many and varied; but the most sub- tle of all is the psychological hate campaign they have fomented among 600,000,000 Chinese Com- munists. Russian scientists know that telepathy is the occult means of communication between subconsci- ous minds. Time and Space do not limit telepathy. These scientists real- ize that intense hatred will have harmful effects upon the health of an enemy; they know it will like- wise harm those who use this pow- erful, destructive emotion. Russia fears the potential strength of China so she is attempting to kill two birds with the same stone. China’s hate propoganda will weak- en the Chinese as well as the Americans it is telepathically di- rected against. As previously mentioned the sub- conscious mind controls the func- tions, sensations, and condition of the body. The important function of creating new cells for the body every 11 months is directed by the subconscious mind. Processes of or- ganic repair, I believe, are accom- plished by mental stimulation of 75 the parasympathetic nervous sys- tem which causes the cortex, or sur- face of the adrenal glands, to secrete cortisone-plus hormones into the blood stream. : Medical science has not yet iden- tified the so-called “plus” hormones essential to this creative function. If the subconscious mind is dis- turbed by stress (either from with- in or without) while one sleeps it cannot activate the processes of or- ganic repair, which are essential to health and longevity — because stress causes the medulla or center of the adrenal glands to secrete ad- renalin into the blood stream instead of cortisone-plus. And excessive ad- renalin is harmful, especially when this occurs night after night for a long period of time. This may explain why so many persons die prematurely between the ages of 60 and 80, while a com- paratively few others who enjoy ~ peace of mind (emotional tranquili- ty) live to be 100. Medical science claims that under favorable condi- tions modern man has a potential life span of 150 years. “There’s no reason why you shouldn’t live to be 100,” Dr. Ar- thur H. Steinhans told members of the Detroit Rotary Club on Sep- tember 9, 1959.

JOHN WESLEY FOUNDER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH PSYCHICAL RESEARCHER By ant alcaibourat Higgins ROM THE DAYS of Old Jeff- rey’s haunting of Epworth rec- tory, John Wesley had a prodigious interest in the supernatural. Almost every facet of what we have come to call psychical research appealed to him. Often he travelled miles out of his way to investigate un- usual and strange phenomena. While he exerted the care and thoroughness of a scientist, the es- sential basis of his investigations was religious. Believing that God’s power far transcends man’s little concepts and that the wonders of His universe never cease, Wesley

Those phenomena which elude man’s understanding and defy ex- planation by natural science were, ta Wesley, clear evidence of the Providence of God. These were the things dear to his heart. Wesley was born at Epworth, England, in 1703, the 15th of the 19 children of the Reverend Sam- uel Wesley and his wife Susanna. He was a brilliant scholar at Ox- ABOUT THE AUTHOR Paul Lambourne Higgins has been pastor of the Hyde Park Methodist Church in Chicago since 1952.

With the aid of his brother, Charles, also an Anglican priest and the author of 6500 hymns, John found- ed the Methodist societies within the Church. This evangelical move- ment helped to rekindle the fires of faith in tens of thousands of men and women. Travelling by horseback to all parts of the British Isles, he preached to great

78 throngs both in the churches and out of doors, stressing a personal experience of Christ.. Directing the vast work of the Methodist move- ment, writing scores of books, this indefatigable preacher did more to revive spiritual religion than any other man of his century. Active to the time of his death in 1791, he saw Methodism spread from Britain to America on its way to encircle the globe. : To understand Wesley as a psy- chic investigator it is important to remember both his scholarly in- terest in research and his faith in a God whose scope of activity far exceeds man’s thought and concept. Wesley considered dreams and visions sometimes come from in- fluences and entities beyond the self. He believed there are points where one individual’s conscious- ness may touch the consciousness of others; there are times when a message, divine or diabolical, can reach the mind of a dreamer. Wes- ley’s frequent and meticulous re- cording of unusual dreams, his own and those which others related to him, reveal much more than an ordinary curiosity in this area. He saw a contemporary religious sig- nificance in dreams as fully as in the Biblical accounts of Jacob and Joseph. He considered it important to discern the messages which the dreams contained, believing they sometimes were intended to lead FATE the recipient to God. He relates an account of a Welsh woman he visited at Holyhead who had been unsympathetic toward her husband’s piety until she began to have some unusual dreams. Seeing herself as standing in the open air, there suddenly appeared a mes- senger in the clouds, with a spear in his hand, then another with a broom, and still another with an hour-glass, as though the time was short. This so deeply affected her that from that time she began to seek God with her whole heart. When Wesley was 45 years old he fell in love with Grace Murray, an attractive and talented young widow who was devoted to the Methodist movement. In the Fall of 1749 he heard that she might marry another preacher. Suffering great heaviness of heart, he prayed that God would show him the answer in a dream or vision. He then had a vivid dream in which Grace was executed. Wesley inter- preted this as meaning she was clearly cut from his own life. He was quite correct as, a few days later, word came Grace Murray had married the other preacher. Another dream played a provi- dential role in the building of the preaching house at Newcastle. This was to be the largest Methodist chapel in England. Wesley had a meagre and insufficient fund for the building when in the winter of
Page 79
JOHN WESLEY—PSYCHICAL RESEARCHER 79 1742 he received this letter from a pious Quaker gentleman: “friend Wesley, I have had a dream concerning thee. I thought I saw thee surrounded with a large flock of sheep, which thou didst not know what to do with. My first thought after I awoke was, that it was thy flock at Newcastle, and that thou hadst no house of wor- ship for them. I have enclosed a note for 100 pounds, which may help thee to provide a house.” A remarkable account is given of Anne Brookes, a young woman of unblamable character, from Old- ham, who had totally lost the sight of her right eye. In his Journal for April 12, 1784, Wesley records that she told him: “TI dreamed one night that our Saviour appeared to me; that I fell at His feet, and He laid His hand upon my right eye. Im- mediately I waked, and from that moment have seen as well with that eye as with the other.” Mr. Wesley felt too that some dreams were influenced by a dia- bolical force. He said that Satan could reach certain persons more easily in their sleep than when they were awake. Nevertheless, whatever dark and difficult force one might face, there was always help through prayer to Christ. This was Wesley’s repeated coun- sel. To support his view he quotes from the Bible, the Church Fathers, and from his own personal experi- ences. The Lord Jesus empowered His disciples to cast out devils (Mark 16:17), and Paul and Peter are depicted in the Acts of the Apostles as using this power in the name of Christ to exorcise evil spirits. By taking the shield of faith a Christian, Paul says in E- phesians 6:16, is “able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Wesley believed that the Chris- tian has the invisible help of angels and spirits, and in his liturgy of The Office of the Saints, he invokes the assistance of the holy angels. Wesley believed in spirit com- munication and felt that the ex- perience of the nearness of the eternal world is at the heart of the Christian religion. He believed this because it was Biblical, and because he could give contemporary ex- amples of communication with de- parted spirits. The Biblical ac- counts of angelic beings and spirits being in touch with the prophets and the apostles, and the vivid Old Testament references to the medium of Endor establishing contact be- tween Samuel and Saul, the New Testament story of Peter, John, and James witnessing Jesus’ visit with Moses and Elijah, were ex- periences which Wesley took seri- ously as revealing the nature of the spiritual world. Wesley did not believe every story that came to him, but insisted on thoroughly investigating unusual
Page 80
phenomena. Nevertheless, there re- main many accounts in his writings of individuals he knew personally who talked with spirits. Time and again he asserts that he accepts these experiences as facts. He had confidence in a devout young woman named Margaret Barlow, who had frequent conver- sations with an angel. This spirit told her, among other things, that Wesley’s brother Charles had re- cently died and was in heaven. Miss Barlow had never known Charles Wesley. Wesley, inspired by his interview with her, said, “There was a wonderful power in her words . . . they did good to my heart.” He contended that much good could result from Miss Barlow’s experiences “provided those who believe and those who disbelieve her report have but patience with each other.” Because of his own experience and study, as well as his religious faith, Wesley had no difficulty in believing that departed spirits can communicate through psychic im- pressions and dreams, and can make direct contact through noises, spoken words, apparitions and ghosts. His first experience had been with Old Jeffrey, the ghost at the Old Rectory of Epworth, in the winter of 1716-17. The lengthy and careful reports his parents and sisters wrote to him concerning the FATE unusual manifestations while he was in school in London formed the basis for his life-long interest and conviction. A sense of the presence of de- parted loved ones seemed charac- teristic of the Wesleys. Susanna, the beloved and highly intelligent mother, said, “I have frequently been as fully assured that my father’s spirit was with me as if I had seen him with my eyes.” John stated in a letter to Lady Maxwell: “I have myself many times found on a sudden so lively an apprehension of a deceased friend that I have sometimes turned about to look; at the same time I have felt an uncommon affection for them. But I never had any- thing of this kind with regard to any but those that died in faith. In dreams I have had exceeding lively conversation with them; and I doubt not but they were then very near.” From time to time over a period of many years John Wesley was conscious of the invisible presence of Fanny Cooper, a dear old friend of his early days in the ministry. When Hannah Ball, who helped to found the first Sunday Schools in the Methodist movement, wrote to him in 1780 regarding her own ex- perience concerning communication with a beloved spirit, he replied: “T see not any reason why this
Page 81
union should be destroyed by death. I cannot conceive it is. I have myself, since her death, found a wonderful union of spirit with Fan- ny Cooper; and have sometimes suddenly looked on one or the other side, not knowing whether I should not see her.” Wesley was interested in record- ing accounts of those who went in- to the trance and were in touch with another world. He was anx- ious that trance experiences not be over stressed, but at the same time he felt that such experiences have a valid place in the religious life. The one warning Wesley gives is . that such gifted individuals should remember to be humble, always ap- proaching such an experience in a spirit of reverence and love toward God. — Wesley was never afraid of the Devil or satanic influences. He recognized that there are good spirits and evil ones, just as there are good men and evil ones. He describes one occasion when he was with a friend, two little girls and the coachman in a chaise: “About two miles from the town, just on the brow of the hill, m a sudden both the horses set out, without any visible cause, and. flew down the hill like an arrow out of a bow.” The coachman fell off the box, and the horses took full speed, turning suddenly in the most unexpected directions. Wesley, calm through - JOHN WESLEY—PSYCHICAL RESEARCHER Sr it all, told the frightened children, “Nothing will hurt you,” and they immediately stopped crying. As an authority. on horses as well as psy- chic manifestations, he carefully listed nine reasons why the event was caused by unusual forces, hold- ing, for instance, that quiet and tame horses do not behave in this manner, that the coachman landed on his head without being hurt at all, that the turning short through a gate at full gallop was in a way -no coachman in England could have done, and that the chaise swung again and again to the edge of each ditch without going into it. He asserted: “I am persuaded both evil and good angels had a large share in this transaction; how large we do not know now, but we shall know hereafter.” In a day when a growing in- terest in materialism was causing many to give less credence to the supernatural, Wesley held firmly to a belief in witchcraft. He said he had more proof for witchcraft than he had for most of the natural experiences of life. When he had evidence for that which he could not explain, he sim- ply admitted that man cannot understand “the smallest grain of sand, or spire of grass. I know not how one grows, or how the par- ticles of the other cohere together. What pretence have I, then, to deny well-attested facts, because I
Page 82
82 cannot comprehend them?” - At times Wesley became fiery in -his defense of the supernatural and openly defied the skeptics as ene- mies of Christianity. ‘While I live I will bear the most public testi- mony I can to the reality of witch- craft,” he said. At the same time Wesley called for patience and understanding among those within the Church who were at variance on these issues. While preaching in Wales one summer day in 1746, Wesley met a poor woman who had been freed from a diabolical power through her conversion to Christ. He tells how she was bewitched through the efforts of a wizard named Fraricis Morgan and suffered various tor- ments until she was delivered by God. Mr. Wesley felt that those who reject the accounts of witches and apparitions as old wives’ tales also renounce. belief in the Bible and respect for the wisest men in all ages and nations. They know, he firmly asserted, “that the giving up witchcraft is, in effect, giving up the Bible; and they know, on the other hand, that if but one account of the intercourse of men with separate spirits be admitted, their. whole castle in the air (Deism, Atheism, - Materialism) falls to the ground.” After stating that both reason and religion support the validity FATE of witchcraft and other types of supernatural phenomena, Wesley gives case after case of reliable, intelligent, and sane individuals who had seen spirits and had wit- nessed many types of unusual spiritual manifestations. His writ- ings disclose a considerable knowl- edge of clairvoyance, clairaudience, precognition, prophetic dreams, and spirit discerning. In his Journal for May, 1768, Wesley speaks with respect of a pious mediumistic woman named Elizabeth Hobson. He devotes nine pages to the account, describing each of her psychical experiences. Miss Hobson, who had been a sen- sitive since early childhood, said that her neighbor, John Simpson, went to sea. Then some days later his spirit began to appear to her each night. When she was finally able to engage him in conversation, he told her he had drowned and wanted her to help take care of his children. He told her two of his children would not live long and that he would appear before the death of each. All he said had come true. When Miss Hobson’s brother died in Jamaica, he appeared at her bedside in England at that very moment. Mr. Wesley commented with in- terest on how “a spirit finds no difficulty in travelling 3000 or 4000 miles in a moment!”

JOHN WESLEY—PSYCHICAL RESEARCHER 83 Mediumship, whether called by that name or another, was used sometimes by the early Method- ists. One of Mr. Wesley’s preach- ers, Jonathan Catlow, was accus- tomed to preach in his sleep. He really was a medium and was at his best in trance. If he began preaching while asleep at night, word was sent out to the congre- gation. A considerable number would come, while Catlow pitched the tune, led the singing, gave the exhortation, and proceeded with a sermon. On one occasion a visit- ing clergyman interrupted him, and there ensued a theological argu- ment. When the heckling cleric departed, Catlow sang the Dox- ology. This service would last about an hour and a quarter. In ‘the morning Jonathan Catlow would know nothing of this. Wesley’s Journal describes in de- _ tail the woman in London who was possessed and had such strength that with only slight exertion she could break any ropes with which she was bound. She said she be- longed to the Devil. When a group of Methodists began to pray for her she shrieked; her face became distorted; her body swelled as if ready to burst and at times be- came as hard as iron; she writhed in agony. The men continued praying for several hours, until the woman cried out: “Lord, save, or I perish.” When she accepted Christ, she became.calm, her coun- tenance changed to joyous peace- fulness. Wesley saw in his work and ministry the hand of the Divine and the assistance of the angels. He fully believed that so long as he did what God wanted him to do, he would receive guidance and aid for his every need. Many and well known are the incidents illus- trating his reliance on the Lord for money. When he was preaching in Leeds in 1758 he had some unexpected expenses and was short of money. A man whom he had never known gave him a letter which contained a bill large enough to cover his needs. Wesley praised God, saying, “Ts not the earth the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof?” He selected his texts with the assurance that Divine aid prompted him. Sometimes he preached upon the words which first met his eye as he opened the Bible. At other times he took the text upon which his finger fell. He did not consider such methods superstitious but be- lieved that a supernatural power guided both his mind and body even in the most minute details. This active power of Providence shaped the very forces of nature, Wesley believed. On a number of occasions when he was scheduled to preach and it was storming he prayed for the storm to subside so
Page 84
he could proclaim the Word. Then he carefully records how the rain ceased. He was never comfortable under a hot summer sun. More than once he notes that while preaching he asked God to relieve him from the heat, after which a cloud would appear to give shade until the sermon was over. On some of his many voyages from England te Ireland Wesley experi- enced bad storms. He records how one great storm subsided after he prayed, and how, on another oc- easion prayer brought Divine aid to save the ship from crashing on the rocks. He states these experi- ences with a pure and simple faith that these phenomena represent the activity and response of the Divine Intelligence. While Wesley was with Thomas Greathead, a linen-draper and Methodist layman, and a few other friends in the country near Sheer- ness, in 1767, a foaming bull came charging toward them. It was not possible for the men to escape. Wesley took off his hat, knelt on the ground, and said, “Let us pray.” The bull came to a dead stop, looked at Wesley, and then passed by without injuring anyone. The men then sang a hymn of thanksgiving. To those present it was clear that the restraining hand of God had been present. While Wesley did not approve the theelogical views and apocalyp- FATE tic writings of Baron Emmanuel Swedenborg, still he admired the - noble character of that great man. At one time he very much desired an interview with the famous seer, but he did not speak of his wish to anyone. To his surprise a letter came from Swedenborg, dated February, 1772, stating that the writer had been informed by the spirit world that Wesley wanted to see him in London. Wesley replied, seeking a date several months in advance. Swedenborg answered with the word that he could not make the appointment at the time sug- gested as on the 29th day of the next month he was departing this life. The record shows that Sweden- borg’s prophecy was accurate. The date of his death was March 29, 1772. Wesley revealed these inter- esting facts to his ministers. Throughout Wesley’s life he felt _his own amazing experiences could only be accounted for by his faith in a wise and powerful God. Wes- ley believed in the Biblical miracles and in contemporary miracles be- cause he believed in God. The Divine Intelligence guiding life and the universe is far greater than can be conceived by man and when one enters a life of spiritual adventure, one finds endless frontiers and the purposeful and protective guidance of God and His holy angels. This was John Wesley’s faith, born of his own experience.

INVENTIONS by TD INTUITION Did I contact a higher level of reality when I saw the fiery vision of an improved gun design? ABOUT THE AUTHOR William B. Edwards, technical editor of Guns Magazine, is a consultant, inventor, collector and author. He is owner of the Benet Arms Co. and the Munitions Import- Export Co. His books include “The Story of Colt’s Revolver,’ “The Guns of Independence Hall,” and the forthcoming “Guns of the Civil War.” By W. B. Clee OME YEARS ago, when I first be- \ came interested in arms design- ing during World War II, I pon- dered on various ways of making guns with simpler mechanisms. Important in any gun is a me- chanical system for closing the breech of the barrel securely dur- ing the moment the cartridge is be- ing discharged. This breech lock may take many forms. In the Browning machine gun, for exam-
Page 86
4 ood ; } | 86 ple, it is a steel square block that rises up in a mortise extending through steel rods attached to the barrel. It also rises into a notch cut into ‘the breech block, thus locking all parts together. A disadvantage of this design is its linear construc- tion —it requires a mechanism much longer than the cartridge and, consequently, a search for a shorter action always has occupied the at- tention of those who would perfect it. Such a shorter action is actually in use in the Maxim machine gun and may be familiar to you as the ‘hent knee” toggle joint construc- tion of the Luger automatic pistol breech. In this arm, the toggle links collapse when the gun is fired, al- lowing withdrawal of the spent cart- ridge case and compression of springs making ready to reload the next shot. The toggle breaks exact- ly like a knee being bent. But a disadvantage of this designis that the toggle joint rises high above the gun during the recoil phase. This could be inconvenient in, say, a rifle held close to the face. Such a design was actually tried in the Pederson togele-joint military rifle. When tested in the prone position, the tog- gle-joint kicked up rapidly and notched the brim of the testing of- ficer’s new felt campaign hat. This naturally produced a negative test report! Puzzling over this one evening ee oe ~~ FATE | after retiring, I lay in bed with my arms crossed behind my head, doz- ing. Suddenly I opened my eyes wide and on the blackness of ‘the night-time ceiling I saw, in an out- line of yellow light as clear as a neon tube, a graphic layout for a new design of breech mechanism that would result in much less tog- gle motion than the Luger or Ped- erson type, yet be no longer over- all than that popular design. The concept was, my patent attorney told me, patentable. At the time (1944) I had too little funds to pursue the thing further and al- though I made extensive drawings and still retain the idea as a possi- ble novel gun mechanism, it has not been appropriate to follow through on it. * ok SECOND TIME this occurred was 4% one winter evening several years later, while I was visiting re- latives in Connecticut. Seated be- fore their fireplace. watching the flames, I suddenly saw a second “fire” outline more intense than the flames themselves. It was sim- ply an irregular polygon of rough- ly rectangular shape. But it also could immediately be adapted to a whole new field of automatic pistol mechanisms involving securely lock- ed breech principles with safety for high power use. Some years later I observed that a somewhat similar form had been
Page 87
INVENTIONS BY INTUITION used in a never-produced Mauser pistol which I had, up to that time, never heard of. Now, whether some- how an illustration of that pistol, such as a drawing from its patent, had come to my attention but not been recognized and then returned again in a fiery outline, or whether - somehow I was suddenly in com- munion with some intelligence be- yond human agency, is a question. * & x te THESE two examples flashes of intuition? Of insight? Or are they visions? Are they some- Sr how communicated from outside my consciousness? These are questions not easily answered. I do not even’ guess at the answers. Yet, even Freud suggested the existence of a vast continuum of conscious reality beyond the imme- diate perception of the average person but which some fortunate people may “plug into” somehow —and from which these few fortu- nate may receive flashes of knowl- edge and solutions to problems not available through known, familiar thought processes. THE SYMMETRY OF ANTI-MATTER HAT anti-matter is sym- metrically identical to mat- ter, except in its electric charge, has been indicated by a sys- tematic study of the behavior of protons and _ anti-protons earried out at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California. Scientists have theorized that entire galaxies, consisting of stars, planets and perhaps even living things, may be composed of anti-matter. On earth, it has been found that a particle of anti-matter survives for only a fraction of a second before meeting a like particle of mat- ter, whereupon mutual annihi- lation results. In the experiments at the Lawrence Radiation Labora- tory, particles were accelerated to one-billion electron volts in the laboratory’s great Beva- tron, then shot into a bubble chamber. The resulting proton annihilations produced star-like lines of bubbles, which were photographed in three dimen- sions. The strong inter-actions resulting from the impact of the highly energetic particles were found to display the mir- ror-type symmetry known as conservation of parity.

TWO WATCHES stopped for DEATH They had run faithfully for years, but now they were silent—the hands of both pointing to the same hour. By SDcctil Saou OFTEN HEARD my older sisters I speak of the way our mother could “see things before they hap- pened” but not until after her un- timely death did the real meaning of those remarks come to me. My family was of rather modest means and before my birth my fa- ther had taken up, in 1906, a home- stead along the Barlow Trail in what was then a wilderness area of Oregon. Busy highway U. S. 26 now runs through the little settle- ment that bears our family name. 88 There I was born and lived to late childhood. Mother often confided in me because, as she said, I was the only one she could talk to without being ridiculed. Ridicule does so much damage to the soul of the mocker, she said, she did not want to be the cause of harm to the soul of another. I have re- gretted all my life that I was too young to grasp all she told me about the “unseen”, “the other side of life’, and the many other “planes” of the “real.”
Page 89
When Grandmother died Mother received asmall share of the estate. She used a part of the money to buy a good wrist watch. She wore this watch constantly until the night of her death. The round, gold Waltham always had a special meaning to me. Perhaps because of the way Mother had acquired it. The watch had become more a part of her than any of her other simple possessions. I was very happy when my father handed it to me to keep. Since it was not a small watch, by replacing the cloth band with one of leather it’s plain design became masculine enough in appearance so that I could wear it. Several years after Mother’s death in April, 1928, I married the daughter of a prominent Oregon political figure, Harry Lane. Years before, on the eve of his election to the United States Senate, he had traded an engraved gold watch he had carried since his graduation from medical school, to a dear and lifelong friend with this remark, “Mac, I’ve always wanted that plain, simple little watch because it’s more in keeping with my way of life.” The plain, simple life he led earned him the affection of his colleagues in the Senate who refer- red to him warmly as the Home- spun Senator. His ability to fore- see future events amazed those close to him. He became one of the “Willful Five”, so-called by Wood- 89 row Wilson because they voted against our participation in World War I. The hard fought Senate ~ battle in those hectic days in 1917 and the ensuing criticism of his heroic stand hastened his death and his simple thin-cased Elgin watch eventually became mine, also. Early in 1945 my wife, Nina Lane Faubion, was stricken with cancer. She had traveled in the Andes mountains from 1925 until 1929, collecting archeological relics and was warned at that time by the Indians of the Andes that if she entered the caves of the an- cient peoples and disturbed their tombs she would die of cancer. This prophecy was now to be ful- filled. We lived in Azalea, a small town in a rather isolated part of the state and because of World War II it was impossible to get an ambu- lance and a hospital room at the same time for weeks on end. That was the most difficult time of my life. Not because of the 24 hour watch I kept at my wife’s bedside, but because of my helplessness to bring her some degree of comfort or a moment of relief from pain. There can.be but one Source from which a cancer patient draws the strength to endure the suffering that is beyond the imagination of those who have not seen. The will to live in those last days would
Page 90
RETEST 99 seem. to stem from a knowledge that a miracle is at hand to drive the beast from the body and that life must be clung to until the mir- acle is manifest. So it was with my wife, while I, though in perfect health, was rapidly weakening from mental anguish and lack of sleep. But here again, the war and not a chance to find help. One night, shortly after mid- night, as I sat in my bedside chair, I was sure that the limits of my endurance had been reached. My wife’s agonized cries pounded on every inch of my body, pleading for the help I could not give. I felt that the end was at hand for us both and was trying to fight back welcoming thoughts of it when my mother appeared before me. With a radiant smile, she held her arms outstretched as if to lay hands on the throbbing foreheads before her. Then she vanished. When I turned to look at my wife she was breathing evenly in sound sleep. I sank back into the chair and did not awaken until the tele- phone rang at 8:30 A. M. It was the ambulance company telling me that a hospital room was available and though it was Sunday they were ready to move my wife. We left for the Eugene hospital, 155 miles away at 11:30 A.M. I rode at my wife’s side in the back of the ambulance. She talked ~ FATE about some of the interesting places we had seen in our travels and mentioned the many times we had been over this road together. Then she slept. Just before reaching the hospital I looked at my mother’s watch, It read 2:05 P. M. I knew it was later than that. I drew my father-in-law’s watch from my pocket and it too read 2:05. We went on to the hospital and I saw to it that nothing was left undone for my wife’s comfort. The next morning, after check- ing with our doctors, I took the timepieces to a reputable watch maker. When he opened them he found that both balance shafts, the very hearts of the watches, were completely shattered. They were repaired at once and I hast- ened back to the hospital. As I entered the room my wife greeted me with a smile and informed me that she had suffered no pain since we left home. I made it a point to be close by from then on, especially in the af- ternoons. I read to her each day and she seemed to enjoy every hour that passed. Thursday after- noon she interrupted my reading. “T saw a very lovely woman the night before we left home,” she said. “It would seem that it was your mother.” Those were her last words. : Both watches read 2:05 P. M. —— TT

They had been very close. The first week after her grand- mother died, Beverly was depressed and spent much of her time in her room alone. About two weeks after Mother’s funeral Beverly was lying on her bed reading when she felt some- one sit down on the bed beside her. She looked up and saw her grand- mother who leaned over and gave Beverly the softest kiss on her cheek. Beverly described it as like a gentle little breeze stopping for just a moment and then going away. Mother told Beverly not to be so lonely —that it was beautiful where she was. Mother also stated that some of her old friends had helped her over the shock of changing from physical to spiritual life. Beverly told me that her grand- mother was wearing one of her us- ual house dresses and an old sweat- QI er that she had always worn around the house on chilly mornings. Her hair was combed as the girl had fixed it before the funeral. This was different than Mother combed it so that is why Beverly noticed it especially. Before Mother left she told Bey- erly that if she could she would visit again. Beverly said she then felt she was alone but that she never saw her grandmother leave. She was there and then she wasn’t. As soon as she realized what had happened Beverly became hysterical and called us to her room where she narrated this experience and pointed to a small indentation plainly visible on the side of her bed where her grandmother had sat. — Ponca City, Okla. FEAR FORGOTTEN By Lillian Owens HOLLOW CORE of fear blew like a storm through the room where I sat watching my father die. This was in 1931, on August 29th. My father knew that he was dying and he felt no peace. We had talk- ed long into the night, wondering
Page 92
92 and praying for a sign to ease his fears — something to hold onto. He wanted a sign to tell him that he had not believed in vain, a sign to tell him that life continued after death. Then the cold chill of the room seemed to recede. Father sat up in his bed, a thing he had been unable to do for the past month, A glow of soft, warm light gradually filled the room, dispelling the chill and fear. Father smiled, the smile of love I’d seen on his dear face so often as a child. The glow in- creased. Now I, too, could feel the pres- ence of the Christ as Father said, “They are all here! My dear friends! Surely you must see them too.” At the sound of Father’s voice I looked toward him. Standing at his side, with arms extended, was a radiant vision of the Christ, ready to welcome my father to his home in the Hereafter. With a smile of contentment on his face Father lay down again. His last words on this earth were, “Now I understand, and I know that I am going to a greater life.”"—La Puente, Calif. ASSIGNMENTS WITH DEATH By J. P. J. Chapman URING World War I when I was an air mechanic in the R.N.A.S. I became seriously ill. I was sent to a big depot called the Crystal Palace and a most un- satisfactory place from a health point of view. It was severely over- erowded and an epidemic of spot- ted fever, German measles and pneumonia broke out all at once. This was in January, 1917. FATE I remember my arrival at the Crystal Palace on the outskirts of London. It was a bitter day and the vast glass building was with- out heat and terribly drafty. That same night the Silvertown Munition factory blew up. The blast brought down a vast quantity of glass but luckily there were no casualties from this—although the Palace was now more drafty than before. I knew I was seriously ill with German measles plus complications but did not realize it was touch and go. On one particular night I fell” into a fitful sleep; gradually peace seemed to descend upon me; I ne longer cared what happened. Per- haps it was a dream but I found my- self wandering around some strange place. I was happy to be rid of my sick body. Then I met my mother who had died when I was 12. She was pleased to see me and we had a long talk. It was all quite natural. That she was “dead” did not matter. She said, “If you will follow me you need never go back. Why don’t you come?” I told her I did not wish to die, that there were many things I wanted to do and besides I loved a girl and did not want to leave her (that girl is now my wife). Nevertheless, Mother took my hand and led me on. I found my resist- ance and desire to return fading. But somehow I realized it was a case of “now or never.” I drew my hand away saying I would go back. Asad look came into my moth- er’s eyes and she began to dissolve. I regained consciousness to find the sick-bay steward and the doc-

If you are genuinely interested in the world of psychic phenomena, effective prayer, spirit- ual healing, personal survival and ESP, then accept our invitation to JOIN US IN OUR GREAT QUEST! We.are the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship. We include in our membership world-famous au- thors, clergymen of many denominations, psy- chical researchers, and those persons who wish to take an active interest in spiritual matters. One of our aims is to explore and to bring psychic phenomena and mystical experience closer into the body of the Christian churches, for it seems to us that these things are the basis of religion. Another of our aims is to bring them closer to our own lives for these things are also the essence of religious experience. We do not claim to know all the answers. But we are trying through seminars, study groups and research, to find some of them. We are now tax exempt as an exclusively reli- gious and educational organization. A FELLOWSHIP OF SEARCHERS DR. DYETT ———— “We feel we're unique in trying to bring back to Christian churches a broader understanding of the spiritual realities of life. And we feel that an important aspect of spirit- ual reality is the whole field of psychic experi- ence. The experiences of the early church, as re- corded in the New Testa- ment, can be more clearly understood in the light of modern psychical re- search.”’ MEMBERSHIP COSTS ARE NOMINAL Special introductory membership rates are only $5.00 per year for the first and second years.

94 tor at my bed side looking quite COs o gat * * OF A couple of years later in the same war (how those years drag- ged) Mother visited me again when I was with a Squadron. It was an R.A.F. station about five miles be- hind the lines. Our machines were for observation—R.H. 8’s. The boys ealled them Harry Tates after a famous comedian. We were raided one night with a real Blitz. The Gothas were oom- aahing overhead as they frequently did, but it was not much géod tak- ing any notice. I was awake, listen- ing. Suddenly I heard my mother’s voice say, “Quick! Quick! Get out of bed! Lie flat on the floor!” I thought I imagined it. Again the voice said, “Get out!” I jumped from where I lay—and FATE none too soon. At that very mo- ment I heard a bomb swooshing _ down, then an explosion. It seemed the end of the world. In the next hut all were killed, blown to bits. Most of the men in ours were either killed or wounded by flying frag- ments. I had escaped because I had lain as flat as I could on the floor. I had heard the fearful tearing noise over my head and felt a cold wind. When I finally got up and lit my torch I saw that the corrugated iron of the Nissen Hut over my bed was perforated like a pep- per pot.

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL down in Devon, close to Sidmouth. One evening I told my wife that I had almost reached the point of no return but I would use all my will power not to die. That night again my mother came to stand by my bed. She seemed bathed in a green light, but the intense blue of her eyes shone as she held out her hand to me with a smile, say- ing, “Come.” I took her hand and felt myself rising from my sick body without any effort. Then I thought of my wife and our small son. I withdrew my hand and said, “No.” My mother faded away and I seemed to sink into myself again. Again I had recovered. The curious thing about these three visits from my dead mother is that on the occasions when I was ill Mother wanted me to go with her—yet when my life was in danger she saved me—why ?—Poole, ing.

FATE | my own little boy with my mother and drove near Bandera to a ranch. My brother was planning to do some work on a car and asked me to see the people for him. I was driving along the highway when I saw the mountain with the liveoak tree bending out and over the rounded end of the hill. It was a beautiful day and I decided to stop and walk up the mountain. I did not realize it was so far until I had started to climb. It was not a steep climb but I became tired and stop- ped under the big tree. I leaned back against it, breathing hard. While I sat there catching my breath, I heard a whimpering sound. I looked around and there, standing not 15 feet from me, was a little boy. He looked about eight and had long blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore blue jeans and a faded blue shirt that made his eyes look too large for his face. He was crying. I thought he was lost and got to my feet. “Are you lost?” I asked him. He shook his head and said, “I lost my red ball. I threw it up in- to the air and now I cannot find it.” I laughed and said, ‘Well, all that goes up must come down.” I told him I would help him find his ball, thinking it had rolled down the hill. “Do your folks know where you are?” I asked. He nodded his head and said, “Oh yes, I play here all the time.” I suggested looking at the bot- tom of the hill for the ball and walked down a ways from the tree. I turned and said for him to come on and look here too. He started towards me, stubbed his toe and

I ran to him and leaned over to help him up. My hand went through him and before my very eyes he vanished. I was so shocked that for a minute or two I couldn’t move. After I recovered I left the place and went back to the high- way to my car. When I got home I asked my mother what she thought about my experience. Well, my mother is not one for such things and she said that I must have fal- len asleep and dreamed it. But as she and my father lived close to Bandera, a few miles from the mountain with the liveoak tree, in 1921 she did tell me the story of the German family and their lit- tle boy buried on that mountain un- der the tree. If I fell asleep and dreamed this little boy, wasn’t it strange that I dreamed of him as I slept on his grave? Especially as I never had heard about him or his grave that I can remember! But I believe that I really saw the little boy. I know he disappear- ed beneath my hands, for I was gripped with panic for a moment as he faded before my eyes. I did not see a grave, for there was nothing under the tree but a pile of stones. There certainly was no marker, just a few lonely scat- tered irises —Kerrville, Tew.

Mother had lost 100 = pounds and was as easy to handle “as a small child. One night I went upstairs, bone- weary, hoping for some sleep while my father took up his vigil by Mother’s bed. It was dead of winter and the wind was blowing hard. Not man nor dog was in sight as shroud-like swirls of snow made the air smoky in a world of fury. At least that’s how the world seem- ~ ed to me that night. I just had fallen into a sound sleep when I suddenly was jerked awake by the door opening. To my amazement my mother, who had not been out of her bed in six months, came slowly into the room and sat down beside me. Feeling great concern for her I quickly hopped out of bed, hoping to get her back downstairs. Then, without . having uttered a word or a sound, she changed from a woman in a white nightgown to something or other in long trailing wispy gray garments and she floated away from my grasp to the ceiling. Then she circled the room several times. I stood petrified. I could hear the loud ticking of my clock and looking at it saw that it was midnight. Just then I heard my father call out for me to come quickly, Moth- er was sinking fast. When I reach- ed her bedside she had breathed her last. Every night after that I waited for her to return but she never did. I think it was her way of saying goodbye to me. I will always be- lieve this, although I have never again experienced such a phenome- non.—- Benton Harbor, Mich. 2

THE MEANING of MASONRY, A Popular Guide to the Values of Ancient and Mod- ern Freemasonry, by Lynn F. Perkins. Expo- sition Press, New York, 1960. 188 pages, $3.50. The author has devoted almost his entire life to the field of education and to the interpretation of Masonic ritual. He was Superintendent of Schools for the State of New York from 1931 to 1958. His object in this book is to show that Masonry is more than a gath- ering place for the gregarious. The symbolism which disguises the hid- den teachings and mysteries of Free- masonry in the Masonic ritual is - replete with references to psychical and spiritual truths that are of uni- versal value and that are to be found in all of the mystery religions of the past. Mr. Perkins finds that many a Masonic neophyte tends to brush off the complicated symbolism of the ritual as “mumbo-jumbo” or as a relic of the Middle Ages. He shows that the ritual conceals esoteric teachings of great value and in special chapters he deals with re- ligious and philosophical parallels in other occult fields. He shows where the ritual contains the an- cient wisdom of the Bible, of Pla- to and the Gnosties, of the Hermetic teachings from Egypt, and of the school of Pythagoras. Mr. Perkins explains also how the knowledge of the ritual can be expanded into a true under- standing of the ancient teachings through independent study, and how the neophyte can at the same time develop himself along the lines of the Yogic master, the Buddhist adept, or the Christian saint. His study is a serious attempt to raise the Masonic ritual and its study to the high level of the teachings from which it was derived. This best can be accomplished, he believes, through instruction for the initiate and his later self-development through self- education along the lines he has outlined, — Hdmond P. Gibson.

The religions may differ because of the different environments in which they appear- ed, but the purpose that underlies and animates them always is the same. ; From this viewpoint, Dr. Afnan presents a comprehensive, analytic survey of the history and basic teachings of the major Western re- ligions: Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Mohammedanism. He shows how the prophets of each played a role in regenerating the ancient perennial religion of God, stressing its basic cultural values anew and rekindling the spiritual life of humanity.—Guy Archette.

The three “sightings” the author describes are run of the mine, two being of whirling discs seen afar, and one sighting of “cigar-shaped” aerial — objects.

She tells us of having first sent the manuscript to a “conservative and cold publishing company in Helsinki,” which rejected it with the comment that she should “for- get all about writing until (she) became more concrete in (her) thoughts;” to which this review- er adds, “Amen.” Many pages are consumed by this lady’s impressions of various hand- some men whom she glimpsed in this country in the past eight years, some in passing automobiles, some on the streets, in bars and other prosaic places. passing strangers are space men who have dropped in on planet Earth, disguised as humans, and that they converse with her by telep- Again and again, — “she conceives the notion that these

Summary: Finnish cook serves potpourri on saucers. — W. Jerome Beaumont. STRANGE PROLOGUE, by Alberta M. O’Con- nell. The Christopher Publishing House, Bos- ton, 1960. 297 pages, $4.75. Although written in the third per- son, this book basically is the life story of the author. It describes a colorful and eventful life as a cele- brated concert singer and, in later years, composer of music. During her singing career, the heroine of the book (who we may assume is the author) became in- terested in metaphysics. Later she joined a mystical brotherhood and studied astrology and numerology. Although, it is related, she did not play the piano and knew nothing of musical composition, she found, by attuning herself to ‘cosmic vi- brations,” that complicated sym- phonies poured from her as if she had studied music all her life. Oc- casionally, it appears, her musical problems were solved by visions of deceased friends who had been mu- sicians or singers. The greater part of Strange Pro- logue, however, is concerned with the material rather than the mys- tical and metaphysical, and read- How Are You?

The Mystic Arts Book Society invites you to accept this book YOURS FREE! $5.95 EVERYWHERE — YOURS FREE Cosmic CONSCIOUSNESS is rightly considered to be one of the great classics of mystical experience. It is not only a powerful and moving book, it is so daring that, although written almost sixty years ago, it is still ahead of its time. A book of this sort can only be produced under very special circumstances. Its author must be a brave and unconventional man who has not only the authority of scientific training and the prestige of an eminent position in that world, but also deep-seated emotional conviction based upon per- sonal experience, Richard Maurice Bucke was just that man. Born in Canada in 1837 he was orphaned in childhood and spent years working on railways and steamboats and as a miner and prospector, At 21 he returned to his birthplace and graduated from McGill Medical School with distinction, becoming a leading psychiatrist, President of the Psychological Section of the British Medical Asociation, President pf the American Medico-Psychological Association, Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at Hamilton, Ontario, and Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases at Western University. At 36 he had the sudden and illuminating metaphysical experience that lightened his life thereafter and led to the production of this remarkable book. This extraordinary event proved to be mot an isolated occurrence, or a mental aberration, but the emergence of a new faculty which was neither supernatural nor supranormal, but the natural outgrowth of our present level of consciousness to a level that is as far above ours as ours is above the simple consciousness of animals, Dr. Bucke calls this faculty cosmic consciousness. He believes that the men who possess it, such as Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Dante, Spinoza, Blake, Balzac, Whitman, and a growing number of others in our time, are forerunners of the beings who will eventually people the earth, List Price: $5.98 os More of These Intriguing Books . . .

OEDIPUS AND AKHNATON, by Immanuel Velikovsky. Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1960. 25s ($3.50). The author of Worlds in Colli- sion and Ages in Chaos presents the intriguing theory that the Eight- eenth Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh, Akhnaton, or Amenhotep IV, was the original of the Greek Oedipus myth. Oedipus, according to the myth, blinded himself in despair when he discovered that he had murdered his own father and cohabited with his own mother. Although lacking definite evidence, Velikovsky specu- lates that Akhnaton, like Oedipus, ’ blinded himself in grief, or at least developed blindness as the result of a neurotic condition. Moreover, there appears to be no authority for the theory of an incestuous relation- ship between Akhnaton and his mother Queen Tiy. A pacifist, idealist and dreamer, Akhnaton sought to push Egypt up a path of religious reform by re- placing the old polytheistie religion of Egypt with a monotheistic one, in which Aton, a personification of the divine power behind the solar disc, was worshipped as the one true God. Velikovsky lends an air of author- ity to his theory by quoting copious- ly from the works of many fore- most Egyptologists, but it may be argued that these quotations are taken out of context. Despite the loose fit of theory to historie facts, this is a work of skill, power and erudition— Regie Stecher,

REPORT FROM THE READERS ON MOMENTARY SURVIVAL The letter from C. J. Fortner in the August Fate apes not just Charles Fort’s subject matter but his literary style as well. I’d think someone is pulling your leg, or Mr. Fortner is one of the world’s bolder pirates. Also, the account of Languille’s execution is not so unique as C. V. Tench seems to think. Albert Cam- ‘us, in his essay Reflections On The Guillotine, mentioned a number of such cases, including that of Lan- guille, and without saying they were from any “secret archives.” In one well-known case the sey- ered head of Charlotte Corday is said to have blushed under the hands of the executioner. Another severed head is alleged to have sought absolution from a priest, closing its supplicating eyes only after the absolution had been grant- ed. The French have dozens of tales of this kind, all of somewhat dubi- ous authenticity. In his essay Camus stated that Doctors Piedelievre and Fournier reported to the Academy of Medi- cine: “The blood rushes from the vessels according to the rhythm of the severed carotids, then coagu- lates. The muscles contract and their fibrillation is stupefying .. . The mouth tightens, at certain mo- ments, into a dreadful grimace.

There re- mains, for the physician, the im- pression of a hideous experiment, a murderous vivisection followed by a premature burial.” On the basis of this most recent, and exhaustive, study, we appar- ently must reject the possibility that Languille, or anyone else, has spoken or had any capacity for speech or action following execu- tion by guillotine. However, it is not difficult to understand how spectators at guil- lotine executions may come to be- lieve such things. And the stories, even if apocryphal, may serve a useful purpose—giving rise to public horror which will eventually abolish the guillotine along with other methods of capital punish- ment.—R. EH. L.

es ale ge a — a a Says Parables in Bible Show Way To Get Rich ‘““Many rich and successful men and women,” declares the author of a sensational 64-page book, “have no more brains or energy than av- erage. They are usually driven to success. Frequently they are so helpless they can’t quit even when they want to. Their money is made in spite of themselves.” The author gives a most astonish- ing formula for wealth and success based on long misunderstood para- bles in the Bible, a formula which he developed while making four for- tunes—two for other people and two for himself. Even while the formula was still incomplete, he made and lost fortunes. Now the formula is complete, he declares success can be won again by the average person and made perma- nent. The formula can be followed by rich or poor, in almost any job or business, in any honest trade or pro- fession. And it is so simple that the entire book can be read in three hours. Its title is “Get Rich in Spite of Yourself.” The book has proved a sensation. Thousands ordered by sales mana- gers for their salesmen. A leading eastern publisher is offering a de- luxe store edition. It has been published in England, and a trans- lation has been published in Spain. A big newspaper syndicate wanted to run it serially in 60 newspapers. Many readers wonder why they did not discover the formula for them- selves, it is so amazingly right, so plainly practical and workable. The entire book, containing the complete formula, is offered for only one dollar. The publishers say “Read it for three hours, watch results for three weeks and if you are not delighted, return the book and get your money back.” The publisher, Grafe and .Grafe, 7172 Melrose Ave., Dept. 131, Los An- geles 46, California, will be pleased to send the 64-page book to any reader of this article—$1.00 cash with order, postage prepaid.

It would seem that the or- iginal paper handled the material somewhat more gently. Apparently, it also went into more detail in supporting his opinion and appends 13 references, including two books by D. H. Menzel and Issue No. 25 of Official U.F.O. Reports. Never- theless, his viewpoint is decidedly negative. I would imagine that Dr. Meer- loo is actually quite unaware of the government’s equivocal viewpoint in the matter of UFO’s, for his paper ends with the following sentence: “The best that science can offer is always the most probable inter- pretation which, in the end, will neutralize the anxiety fortifying ‘invasion’ of rumor-mongering.” Or, am I being naive? — Muriel Griebe, Dover, N.

FATE | FLYING SAUCER On July 2, 1960, at 3:18 A.M., I observed from the terrace of my residence, which faces east, a white form moving in the sky. This form was circular and whitish and many times bigger than the biggest star in sight. It was not bright nor did it have clearly defined borders like a circle drawn on paper. It can be compared with a thin powder puff. Focusing on it with a small telescope I saw something like shafts of light emerging from a center or core. I called my wife who was sleep- ing and she also saw this form moving in the sky. It was not an airplane, nor a star or planet, nor the reflection of a searchlight. The night was clear and the stars were visible. I live in a place where the residences have big lots and it is quiet and peaceful. The form was at an approximate angle of 40 degrees from the hori- zontal plane and was moving slow- ly at approximately 40 degrees from the vertical—to the southeast.

I did know that he was not the one to telephone to Mrs. Ford in Wil- mington. Dr. Swann greatly regrets this misstatement. Mrs. Love, herself, is greatly dis- turbed by the misstatement and told me that the misstatements were given to her in writing but that she was sorry she had neglected to check with me before she wrote her article. — Melvin L. Sutley, Phila- delphia, Pa. I deeply regret the misinforma- tion contained in an article of mine in Fate Magazine. I alone am to blame for the errors in the article, with one exception as in my origin- al copy I did not say Dr. Swann made the telephone call as Mr. Stott and Mrs. Ford both told me Melvin Sutley had made the call. I attempted to reach Melvin by telephone and learned he was out of town. Thereupon, I received the list from Mr. Stott. I dislike very much placing the blame for this on Mr. Stott and I suppose he had no idea how important it was to stick to facts. I trust Dr. Swann and Dr. Nash and Melvin Sutley will par- don what was really a grave error. In all the years I have worked as both writer and editor I have always had a reputation for integ- rity and it is deyastating indeed to realize that I could make such an error in my old age. — Mrs. Ma- bel Love, Sharon Hill, Pa.

a mistake and because I have made such mistakes I like to think every- one makes them. I am_ sincerely sorry to think that the persons in- correctly named may have been in- convenienced and displeased. But I do wish to point out that the main point of the article, the appearance of the psychic portrait of Jesus on the handkerchief, was correctly re- ported.—Mary Margaret Fuller, Ed- itor, ON SEEDS I have listened to thousands of sermons in my adult life, being past 86 years old now. I was born in Germany on April 8, 1874. But I never have heard any sermon or _ priest quote the dietary law as stated in Gen. 1. 29; “And God said, Be- hold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Emphasis is made by God on the fruits bearing seeds which con- tain the vitamins and minerals es- sential for a healthy blood stream. No drugs or pills can duplicate the invisible life ingredients of a seed. Only God and Nature can do this. Denatured or processed foods are dead lifeless foods, inviting sickness and early death. Your article, Village Of The Long-Lived, verifies this as it states that over 20 in the small village of about 500 persons are over 100 years old and still strong and ac- tive. Their vegetarian diet of fresh tomatoes and peppers, both containing seeds, are without a doubt the reason for their longevity.

Spiritual or faith healings are never lasting and sickness soon returns in one form or another. This is my experi- ence in over 50 years of drugless healing in New York City where I was charged with “prescribing” and once given a six-months suspended sentence.—Leonard J. Hartmann, Southold, L. I., N. Y. A TINY VOICE A friend of mine has two male parakeets. There is a little mirror in their cage. Towards evening she covers the cage and the “budgies” go to sleep. If, when all is quiet, she turns toward the cage and says, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” after a while a tiny voice from within the cage answers, “You!” My friend swears she never taught the birds anything and, be- sides, how would they know that she was addressing them when what she says is spoken in the normal tone in which the conversation is carried on in the room?—Sam Winer, Brooklyn, N. Y, MATHEMATICAL GENIUS While looking at some old maga- zines recently I came across a FATE for December, 1953. I read with great interest an article Numbers On The Brain, by Frank L. Reming- ton. My very deep interest in this article is due to the fact that I have a six-year-old son, Kim, who is a mathematical wonder. Kim has never been to school (he entered in September after this letter was written) and has never
Page 121
REPORT FROM THE READERS been taught any arithmetic. How- ever, he can give the days, hours, minutes, and seconds in any given number of years, figure interest, add columns of numbers, quickly halve or quarter a large number, understands fractions, counts money with ease and works with figures in millions and billions. This is all mental arithmetic, without pencil or paper. He undoubtedly has a_ photo- graphic memory—knows all the 34 presidents, in any order, and can say his multiplication tables including 12s. He has taught himself to read and has some 40 or 50 books to his credit, Kim otherwise seems a _ wholly normal little boy and enjoys all the little boy games. He is the fifth child in a family of six. The - r2t four older children are honor stu- dents but none possess the ability that Kim has. Our youngest child is only four months old. Kim has never appeared before a large audience, nor do I want him to, but our home is open to friends interested in hearing him perform. I would like to get more infor- mation about child prodigies in or- der to better understand my own youngster and guide him to the best advantage. I would appreciate any information you are able to give me. —Mrs. J. J. Galland, Wapato, Wash.

Other young friends of mine used to see who could run barefoot in the coals and hot ashes after a plant bed or brush pile had been burned. It takes nerve and accurate timing to firewalk. A man in Florida heats sheet metal red-hot and walks on it. Of course, he cannot hesitate between steps. He just maintains a smooth moderately fast gait. I don’t believe a firewalker ever pauses in his walking. — Cecil D. Clayton, Hen- derson, Ky. J © Y IN THE SKY I was reared by my grandpar- ents in a small country village. Aft- er supper one evening I was watch- ing the clouds in the sky when, suddenly, three letters appeared for one brief moment. I couldn’t ex- plain the color but one often sees the same shades in the sunset. The letters were probably about a foot high and they appeared side by side. They spelled J O Y. That brief vision, or whatever it would be properly called, has re- mained in my memory and many times I have wondered about the possible significance of such an experience. It is not unusual for me to have a dream come true. I often dream events with uncanny accuracy be- fore they happen. I would be interested in an ex- planation of this vision in the sky. — Kathleen M.
