the wall." Later the owner of the Midtown Gallery came by personally to thank Rose and have a talk with her.
Meher Baba’s Silence has produced a few problems― how to explain it satisfactorily! I finally took along some of the circulars compiled by Adi in 1956 for Myrtle Beach on "His Silence." People looked at the alphabet-board and we mentioned that the books by Meher Baba were dictated by means of the hoard , but it remained a problem. One lady, in answer to my remark that when the time was ripe and suffering was at its peak, Baba would speak, said "What self-control he must have, for there have been so many climaxes!
