W
am ~ markable 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 a life and
soul of affection for all that is en-
nobling and uplifting in the fam
lily, and in color, form and music" ;"
Mr.. Barron is chairman Of the
Rotch Trustees, who acting under
the will of Lydia S. Rotch of New
Bedford, Mass, began in 1872 a
modern translation of the Theo-
logical 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
published by the Houghton Mif1in
Co. in 50 volumes in 1907.
About three years ago there ap-
peared in a Cleveland paper a par
graph that among her other
accomplishments 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 a Greater Work Than
To Mr.. Barron's direct inquiry
Madame Galh-Curci promptly re-
piled: eyes, I have read in the past
year the complete Swedenborg
Works, in fact it is the Rotch Edi-
ton of the Houghton Mif1in Co.
that l have.
"I can say certainly that the
Bible to me is greater work than
it was before"
Mr.. Barron says: "My astonish-
ment was intensified. Familiar
over many years with Sweden
borg's general theological writings,
I had set out to read the entire
thirty-two volumes preparatory to
an advertising campaign for the
sale of this edition. Reading a
few pages each day I finished my
self-imposed task in fourteen
wears. l shall probably finish q
second reading, at my present rate
of progress, in perhaps ten years.
Was it possible that woman with
no previous knowledge or relation
to these books had really intelli-
gently read them within a year,"
Swedenborg's Writings
Mr.. Barron continues: GAS an
economist writing state papers on
weights, measures, coinages and
currencies, Swedenborg is easily
comprehended. AS an engineer
transporting ships overland he is
easily visualized. AS govern
ment official in the great mining
industry of Sweden, writing prac-
tical books on mining and smelt-
ing, declared to be the foundation
of modern metallurgy, he is of in
terest in the encyclopedia of scien-
tifc history. AS the writer of vol
umes-original studies in search
for the human soul-he is not
without human interest.
"But 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 Swedenborg.
"Think Of twenty modern-sized
volumes, originally written in the
Latin tongue and unfolding from
the Hebrew of Genesis and Exc
dus' the internal or spiritual sense
that lies beneath the letter. Annex
a dozen more similar volumes that
not only expound every picture set
forth in the book Of Revelation
az conveyor of q tremendous truth
Of universal application throughout
invisible degrees Of creation and
life, but also Illumine all the prob
lens Of sex as presented through
out the universe from the union Of
the love and wisdom In the divine
down to sex capitalization in the
mineral kingdom; include the
deepest of all works ever written
entitled, In the original Latin,
Angelic Wisdom Concerning the
Divine Love and the Divine Wis
DOM Then answer to yourself
the number of years that ought to
