Mean More Than Amy Other
Books
Mr.. Barron, still credulous. con.
tinued his correspondence with
Madame Galli-Curci for somI
months. He learned that soon
after she lost her dear mother she
had sought the Writings of Swe.
denborg in a desire to know more
about the other world whence her
mother had gone. She spent the
entire summer vacation studying
Swedenborg's Works, and declared:
They have meant, and mean more
to me than anything else | have
ever read"
When Galli-Curci returned from
California Mr. Barron motored up
into the Catskills to her beautiful
Italian palace, and in an afternoon
with her and her husband. Mr.
Homer Samuels, he was convinced
that Galli-Curci had read and de-
voured Swedenborg in a briefer
period than anybody had ever
done before.
He says of this interview:
Hours flew like minutes.
wasn't the questioner. Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuels were at me with the
sharpest and deepes questions.
They seemed in perfect harmony
mentally and spiritually. as id
their work in music. !
Wanted to Learn
"She wanted to know about the
Grand Man. / told her it would
be easier to comprehend it if she
would forego the idea of time and
space and consider, as Swedenborg
says in The Apocalypse Explained,
that every society in the heavens
connects with some organ of the
human body and helps to sustain
it. Therefore the heavens have
the organization of the Grand
Man, but we need not think Of il
as a shape or figure.
" Yes exclaimed her husband,
4 see it; it is organization. /
explained, also, how the Psalms
likewise connected with every so
ciety of the heavens, and how the
world within and without was knit
together in one grand poem and
song of creation, man in the image
of his Maker and knit into Him
through the heavens, from which
he has life in every organ of his
body.

other things. Her Intelligent ques-
tions, as well as her statements,
left no manner Of doubt that CALI
Curci had performed the stupen-
dous feat of reading the thirty
two volumes of SwedenbOrg IN q
single summer season. She de-
clared Heaven and He'll a very
attractive and popular title and
concerns that about which people
are most eager to know; but it is
not one of Swedenborg's great
works; although it makes a good

A Help in Her Work
Galli-Curci understands the writ
h ings of Swedenborg even better
+ than theolOgians, because she puts
them into practice in the broadest
life of loving helpfulness.
! She said that Swedenborg had
! helped her in her work. She had
no longer to think of herself but
: Of her audiences, and let the music
: flow through her: regard herself
!, just a medium for life to pour
through. She felt with and fol
her audiences, and singing was M
q effort for her.
! All Fear Vanishes
"The more you do-the more
I you give forth-the more life anC
energy is poured into you, and you
