Every race, every nation and

every culture has its

contribution to make in your

world. It is like a mighty

orchestra in which every

instrument contributes its part

to achieve harmony of music

which produces the greatest

beauty. What are considered

the uncivilized and the

lowliest have their parts to

play in the great unfolding

scheme.

With help of a well known voice medium, Mrs. Etta Wriedt, I talked with my father for over twenty minutes. The Blue Island provides very definite proof of communication from the spirit world.
