HENRY FORD'S Dearborn lnde-
pendent publishes a remarkable
article on CALI Curci and
Emanuel Swedenborg, by Clarence w.
Barron of the Wall Street Journal,
the world famous financial authority.
Mr.. Barron declares that CALI
Curci has the most wonderful brain
he has ever met or heard of in a
woman, although she is much more
"a true woman with life and soul
of affection for all that is ennobling
and uplifting in the family, and in
color, form, and music"
Mr.. Barron is chairman of the
Rotch Trustees, who acting under the
viii of Lydia S.. Rotch of New Bed
ford, Mass, began in 1872 modern
translation of the Theological Works
which Emanuel Swedenborg wrote
and published in the Latin tongue,
and deposited in the libraries of the
world $50 years ago.
This work was completed and pub
lished by the Houghton Mifflin Co. in
32 volumes in 1907.
About three years ago there ap-
peared in Cleveland paper para
graph that among her other accom-
plishments Galli-Curci had read all
the Theological Writings of Emanuel
Swedenborg. The claim seemed so
absurd to Mr.. Barron that he thought
it might be easily punctured by a
simple inquiry as to the edition.
The Bible Greater Work Than Ever
ITO Mr.. Barron's direct inquiry
hdame Galli-Curci promptly re-
lied: "Yes, I have read in the past
year the complete Swedenborg Works,
in fact it is the Rotch Edition of the
Houghton Mifflin Co. that / have.
81 can say certainly that the Bible
to me is a. greater work than it was
before"
Mr.. Barron says: "My astonish-
ment was intensified. Familiar over
many years with Swedenborg's gen
eral theological writings, had set
out to read the entire thirty-two vol
umes preparatory to an advertising
campaign for the sale of this edition.
Reading few pages each day I fin
ished my self-imposed task in four
teen years. shall probably finish a
second reading, at my present rate Of
progress, in perhaps ten years. Was
it possible that a woman with no
previous knowledge or relation to
these books had really intelligently
read them within a year,"
Swedenborg's Writings
Mr.. Barron continues: GAS an
economist writing Estate papers on
weights, measures, coinages and cur
rsncies, Swedenborg is easily COM
pretended. As an engineer transport
ing ships overland he is easily visual
ICED. AS a government official in the
great mining industry of Sweden,
writing practical books on mining
and smelling, declared to be the foun-
dation of modern metallurgy, he is
of interest in the encyclopedia of sci
entific history. AS the writer of vol
umes original studies In search for
the human soul-he Is not without
human interest.
''Bnt when one comes to the realm
of the unseen, where there is neither
time nor space upon which to rest
mental conceptions, few may enter
into the fullness of the revelation
which has come into the libraries Of
the world through Emanuel Sweden
borg,
'Think of twenty modern-sized
volumes originally written in the
Latin tongue and unfolding from the
Hebrew Of Genesis and Exodus the
internal or spiritual sense that lies
beneath the letter. Annex dozen
more similar volumes that not only
expound every picture set forth in
the book of Revelation as conveyor
Of tremendous truth of universal
application throughout invisible de-
grees of creation and life, but also
illumine all the problems of sex as
presented throughout the universe
from the union of the love and wis
dom in the divine down to sex crystal
li1ation in the mineral kingdom; in
elude the deepest of all works ever
written entitled, in the original Latin,
IAngelic Wisdom Concerning the Di-
Pine Love and the Divine Wisdom.
