Automatic Writing
Produces New Book

A book of engrossing interest to
students of the New Thought and
possessing in its mysterious figures
of undoubted beauty an appeal even
to the layman. is The Second Mes
sage of Anne Simon" recently of
the Gorham Press, of Boston.
The message. purporting to be
a transcription by Otto Torney ST.
mon. of Washington, of the COM
munications of his wife. Anne ST.
mon. who passed into the higher
life on August 5. 1916" Is actually
the second of such collections, the
first having been published in No
vember. 1919.
From the cover leaf 1t Is learned
that Anne Simon's message is ''in
the nature of a revelation to her
husband" and that 'it was written
under. inspirational influences in the
short space of twenty-five days. and
appeared through automatic writ-
ing"
The Message" 1t Is further set
forth, lis designated as a world
message and is a joy-message-
There Is No Death Its contents
are of spiritual Significance and its
sequence is logical"
Anne Simon, who resided in
Washington when not abroad, in her
lifetime was a woman of qufckened
artistic perception and ability. She
was a lover of, color, scent, the
magic of words and stimulation of
spiritual reverie. Her death, occur
ring suddenly at Colorado Springs,
according to the oft-repeated note
of her message, was in reality but
a transition to a sphere of higher
contemplation. The first message
was received in twenty-five days,
beginning about January II, 1918.
according to her husband, who de-
scribes himself as a passive instru-
ment. The second began July IL,
1913, and ended August z. A third.
Simon declared in his foreword, "is
evolving at this time and is of un-
usual spiritual significance and eie-
vation." A later announcement
says that in addition to this, three
other messages have been received
and a seventh is on the way. New
| Thought adherents call this sequen-
tial writing "the greatest unfolding
since Swedenborg." 4--
The earthly memory of Anne ST.
mon is preserved by a notable sculp-
ture produced by Brenda Putnam,
daughter of Herbert Putnam. libra
rian of Congress, standing in Rock
Creek Cemetery.
