Page Four r Galli-Curci Swayed by the Seer of Sweden r # * Prima Donna Gives Wonderful Interpretation of the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg— -1 ' HENRY FORD’S Dearborn Inde pendent publishes a remarkable • i article on Galli - Curci and ’Emanuel Swedenborg, by Clarence W. i Barron of the Wair Street Journal, I the world famous financial authority. I Mr- Barron declares that Galli- 1 I 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 ennobling jand uplifting in the family, and in .color, form, and music.” i Mr. Barron is chairman of the ißotch Trustees, who acting under the ;wili of Lydia S. Rotch of New Bed ford, Mass., began in 1872 a modern .translation of the Theological Works •which Emanuel Swedenborg wrote 'and published *in the Latin tongue, and deposited in the libraries of the jworld 150 years ago. \ This work was completed and pub dished by the Houghton Mifflin Co. in 32 volumes in 1907. j About three years ago there ap peared paoe v a para graph that among her other aecom jplishments. 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 Then Ever l A * To Mr. Barron’s direct inquiry Madame Galli-Curci promptly re plied: ‘‘Yes, I have read in the past the complete Swedenborg Works, in fact it is the Rotch Edition of the Houghton Mifflin Co. that I have. “I can say certainly that the Bible 'to me is a greater work than it was before.” ♦ Mr. Barron says: ‘‘My astonish inent was intensified. Familiar over pany years with Swedenborg’s gen eral theological writings, I had set ouff to read the entire thirty-two vol umes preparatory to an advertising for the sale of this edition. ■Reading a few pages each day I fin ished my, self-imposed task in four teen years. I shall probably finish a 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 1 Mr. Barron continues: “As an economist writing. state papers on Weights, measures, coinages and cur rencies, Swedenborg is easily com prehended. As an engineer transport ing ships overland he is easily visual ized. As a government official in the great mining industry of Sweden, writing practical books on mining and smelting, declared to be the foun dation of modern metallurgy, he is »f 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. *• “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 linto 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 a dozen j more similar volumes that not only! expound every picture set forth in -the book of ‘Revelation’ as conveyor of a 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 jdom in the divine down to sex crystal lization in the mineral kingdom; in clude the deepest of all works ever written entitled, in the original Latin, ‘Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Di vine Love and the Divine Wisdom.* ' i>r. j. d.

C. ■ Then answer to yourself the number of years that ought to be required to master these thirty-two volumes” Mean More Than Any Other Books Mr. Barron, still credulous, con tinued his correspondence with Madame Galii-Curci for some months. He learned that soon after she lost her dear mother she had sought the Writings of Swedenborg 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, anc ■ meaa more to me than anything else I 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 devoured Sweden borg in a briefer period than any .body had h-f -7-. He says of t3iis interview: “Hours flew like minutes. I wasn't the questioner. Mr. and Mrs. Samuels were at me with the sharpest and deepest questions. They see.med in perfect harmony mentally and spir itually, as in their work in music. i Wanted to Learn [ “She wanted to know about the (“Grand Man’. I told her it would be e&aier to comprehend it if she would forego the idea of time and space and consider, as Swedenborg says in ‘The Apocalypse Explained’, that every so ciety 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 it as a shape or figure. “ ‘Yes/ exclaimed her husband, ‘I see it; it is organization.’ I explained, < also, how the ‘Psalms’ likewise con nected with every society 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 01 his body. Swedenborg’s 32 Volumes Read in a Single Summer “ ‘Now I understand/ she said, and asked me for explanation of other things. Her intelligent questions, a*, well as her statements, left no man- ! ner of doubt thht Galli-Curci had performed the stupeiiavuo a.cat of reading the thirty-two volumes of Swedenborg in a single summer sea son. She declared ‘Heaven and Hell’ a very attractive and popular title and concerns that about which people are most eager to knovf; but it is not one of Swedenborg’s great works; al ’ though it makes a good popular and ■ introductory w or k/* * A Help in Her Work Galli-Curci understands the writ 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 ha'* oo 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 for her audiences, and singing was no effort for her. All Fear Vanish es “The more you do—„ne more you j give forth—the more life and energy is poured into you, and you are stronger and not weaker for the do- I ing, the working and the singing. I always feel stronger; I am not ex hausted at all by my singing. Swed enborg shows the reason and how life comes in as you pour it forth usefully to others. You don’t have to try worry or fret., You know it is not you but that it is just being done through you.” Speaking further of the help Swed • enborg had been to her in her work • she sajd: “One gets so much moro ■ confidence. The otfier world and the , one life, that comprehends* all life > ■ becomes reality and all fear and ’ worry vanish.” HUNTS TREASURE SUNK ABOUT 1700 Logan Expedition Seek* Gold of Lost Vessel. New York.—Maj. R; A. Logan, man ager of the mapping division of the Fairchild aerial surveys, left New York for a treasure hunt in Nova Scotia, which* he says, may net him at least SIOO,OOO and perhaps $2,000,000. The treasure was the cargo of a French “pay ship” which fell into the hands of the English off Cape Breton island about the year 1700. After various vicissitudes the crew of the French vessel managed to sink the treasure in Canadian lakes, but were prevented by the English from returning to claim it. All trace of it was eventually lost and repeated searches failed to give a hint of its whereabouts. Major Logan discovered last winter, in an old Spanish narrative, an ac count of how the treasure passed, into tlie hands of a Spanish privateer. The captain of this vessel hanged the , Frenchman who gave him the informa tion, but the captain was prevented by the Jprench from salvaging the treas ure. He left the records for his son, however, and it is this record which Major Logan is using as his guide. Knowing the country well, Major Logan last spring bought up all the land on which the treasure can pos sibly be hidden if the Spanish records are accurate. “All I have to do now is to dig,” said the major just before his departure, “and I’m so sure I’ve got the right dope I’m willing to spend five months digging if necessary. I’ll have two la borers helping me. That’s all there is to my expedition.” “Man* Without a Country” Has Many Allies in U. S. Washington.—The “man without a country” of hook fame would have plenty of company were he to set foot on American shores. More than 1,000,000 persons in the United States, oir approxini.swly 1 per cent of the total population, are In the same fix and most of them don’t know it. .This revelation was made by Harry E. Hull, Commissioner of Immigration, In discussing some of the queer work ings of the immigration laws. ‘You can safely say,” *he asserted, “that there are more than a million persons In this country today who can not claim citizenship of any land. A great majority of them are unaware of this, but quite a few of them who are don’t seem to care.” The commissioner explained that this huge total of “outcasts” was cre ated largely by aliens who have over stayed their temporary entries, and by tourists, who, en route to some other country, stopped off here, found a job, and settled down. Many also came over the borders when restrictions were less rigid, lost their original citi zenship by remaining here too long and then forgot or Ignored American citizenship requirements. Hull said bis bureau never seeks ont •these noncitizens, but often comes In contact with them. Some are amazed to find out that they bare no legal claim to any citizenship when they ap ply for passports or re-entry permits; others learn about their status when they go before a court to sue or In some other legal proceeding. “It works the other way around, too,” he asserted. “An American can go abroad and lose- his citizenship here and there also if bo is ignorant or care less about the law.” Has Self Arrested, but Can’t Get Guilty Verdict Council Bluffs, lowa. —James Har rington, thirty-one years old, had him self arrested for disturbing the peace I by fighting, charged himself with the offense and testified against himself in police court here. He told the judge that he m6t two acquaintances on the street here and 9ne of the men asked him where he wm» going. , “It is none of youar business,” Har rington testified, be replied. V The fight ensued. * The judge took the case under ad visement and later dismissed it. “1 want to beat that fellow to It and get the trial over with,” Harrington explained. 00®®®®® • 0 . 0 § Noisy Radio Lands § | Owner in Jail Cell I ® New York. —Long Beach’s mid- ® g night curfew law clashed with § ® a radio belonging to a Long 0 0 Beach resident, and at last ac- 0 ® counts the Taw seemed to have @ 0 the better of the argument. 0 © The radio belongs to Edward ® 0 H.
