it suddenly and completely vanish when Baba strode by.

One sensitive and responsive guest, seeing Baba for the second time, and still treasuring his first experience, noticed the Master's vitality wane as so many passed in succession to receive His touch; but during the music Baba's vital appearance returned. How graciously He acknowledged the interpretation of Western folk-music, particularly the last selection and the musicians' versatility with guitar and drum! When Baba was about to retire, it was announced that He would see some late arrivals who had not been presented, in His own room, so that none was overlooked.

An interesting P.S.: On Sunday, July 22nd, when the New York banquet was held for Baba and was about to begin, one of the thirteen guests assembled in a London home in Baba's name, fell asleep during the reading of the Master's Wednesday reception messages. He had been blind for 70 years, but in a vision, he saw the Master enter the room where we
