So many children have approached the desk with their parents or alone, asking, begging, helping themselves to something to take home. This need of something for children should be met before reopening next spring, as neither The Seven Realities nor the Universal Message is suitable. What better gift than the picture of Meher Baba with the Iamb—with a suitable saying inscribed below it?

The following is from young Charles Haynes' diary: Beryl Williams and I were at the space one Saturday afternoon when a young man walked up and said: “You can involve me in a long talk because my wife will be gone a long time." This was the beginning of an hour's talk about Baba. After he was seated he wanted to know what Baba had said about everything from Christ to reincarnation and evolution. Two things impressed him most. One was the fact that Baba's space was there at all; secondly that Baba had followers there all week long. Beryl and I talked with him at length, then his wife came in. She took a seat without a word, while her husband continued his questions. Finally he turned to her and asked: "What do you think of this?" She gazed at Baba's beautiful color portrait and said: "I should like to meet Him." By Baba's Grace, two more people somewhere in the world now have His Message.

A pilot from one of the airlines walked straight up to the books, fingered one or two and looking up, said "What has Baba to say on prayer?" I handed him, at the right page, Life At Its Best. Meanwhile sev­eral other visitors stopped by. He read until Joulia and I were free again, then continued his questioning. We talked with him for almost an hour.

He felt the church had obscured the real meaning of prayer. What should one ask for? I said that true prayer was not petition, but accenting God's Will in all things. This brought the talk around to Karma and Reincarnation.

Finally he lifted the curtain of reserve. He spoke of his little boy who had leukemia, and had been treated, apparently successfully, with some of the most modern and dangerous drugs. He was now, he said, facing two problems—the child, born in God's image, could not be ill or respon­sible and should be surrounded by positive thoughts. Then again, by ask­ing for healing through prayer, how could one know it was for the best for the child's spiritual development?

We told him that Baba always says, "Don't worry'; and that if he
