AB.8


   P:  Who is all?
   S:  Almighty.
   P:  Who is that?
   S:  The Knower of All.
   P:  Who is that?
   S:  It's just a sunblaze. -- Old man going to door, where is One
Eye.
   P:  Yes?
   S:  He knocks with a sword. Opens it. Steps, up. Up he goes.
People on steps not very visible. . . Afraid I'm useless -- so
much I'm missing.
   A:  If you blind your eyes you will see; if you obey you will
know.
   S:  We _(A. and S.)_ have come out where there's _nothing._ I'm not
afraid. Take me home -- I want to be near you. _(S. nearly_
_crying.)_
   P:  You are near me, sweet.
   S:  They put black robe on me too, one like you have. Oh I'm
afraid. _(Trembling all over and gasping.)_ . . . Only one
star! . . . Oh if I only knew what it was! . . . Under the feet of
A. is skull and cross bones.
   P:  Good.
   S:  The cross bones form support of chair. Nobody in chair
now. . . Somebody sitting cross legged in it. Bell on table. . .
My old man only does what they tell him -- just waits . . .
has ring on arm . . . There's terrible enemy rising up for P.
   P:  Who?
   S:  Tall, smooth-faced, long face, hair brushed back, age 30 --
40, 33 no! 34.
   P:  Name?
   S:  N.G. -- N.G.B. (Bingham). Something ending in _ham._
   P:  Birmingham?
   S:  Yes it could be that. But you'll show him the white feather of
the dove . . . a quill . . . dip in ink. . . Everybody's in black,
heads covered, only eyes showing. They're all signing
something in a book. 1st sings X. . . . 2nd signs R.
   P:  When next seance?
   S:  He signs X.
   P:  Meaning?
   S:  I won't do it any more. Yes: I'll just obey. _(sobs)._
   P:  When?
   S:  10th December at 9 P.M.
   P:  Say _Vale, Frater._ S. says it. A. goes off with a casket. S. comes
back. _(No; she don't [sic])_ Under casket lock is Latin written
_Dix i m_ or _n_ (very fine, just engraved in steel.) O. X. . . .
figures like little men.
   P:  Why not come back?
   S:  I want to know what's in casket. . . They gave me a ring with
cross. (They gave me a white sack before.)
   P:  Come back; you've tried.
   S:  I see lilies.

      S. is convinced of the reality this time, much more than previous
time.
