The same man, I may
add, hearing me one day exclaiming to myself: "Oh, if
there were anything that would remove the stains from my
clothes!" said to me very simply and quietly: "Have you
ever washed them in luxo?" It was he, too, who, noticing
a haggard look on my face after breakfast one morning,
inquired immediately what I had been eating for breakfast;
after which, with a simplicity and directness which I
shall never forget, he said: "Why not eat humpo?"
Nor can I ever forget my feeling on another occasion
when, hearing me exclaim aloud: "Oh, if there were only
something invented for removing the proteins and amygdaloids
from a carbonized diet and leaving only the pure nitrogenous
life-giving elements!" seized my hand in his, and said
in a voice thrilled with emotion: "There is! It has!"
The reader will understand, therefore, that a question,
or query, from such a Friend was not to be put lightly
aside. When he asked if I believed in Spiritualism I
answered with perfect courtesy:
"To be quite frank, I do not."
There was silence between us for a time, and then my
Friend said:
"Have you ever given it a trial?"
I paused a moment, as the idea was a novel one.
