fault with trivialities bearing upon the problem of personal
identity. The evidential incident illustrates confusion and error
perhaps due to the subliminal of the psychic.
I want to refer to some fowl. There were some that used to
cause your father some concern, for they wandered far away. He
cared less for the fowl than anything else on the farm. They were
there, but he did not make as much of them as of the growing
crops and live stock. You recall the fowl which wandered off.
(Tell just what fowl it was.)

preaching. You know you desired to preach.
(Yes.)
It is fulfilled in the better way and will help the world to a
better understanding of God and the world. Sometimes when
sorrow fell on your life and it seemed as if the end had come, I
smiled on your pain, for I saw the light in the distance, and knew
