"Did you know you had a coloured Guide?... He says your son is the cross of light; he is the cross of light, and he is going to be a light that will help you; he is going to help too to prove to the world the Truth. That is why they built up the dark cross that turned to bright. You know; but others, they do so want to know. Feda is loosing hold; good-bye." [_This ends the O. J. L. first Leonard sitting of 27 September 1915._] On the afternoon of the same day, 27 September 1915, that I had this first sitting with Mrs. Leonard, Lady Lodge had her first sitting, as a complete stranger, with Mr. A. Vout Peters, who had been invited for the purpose--without any name being given--to Mrs. Kennedy's house at 3.30 p.m. Here again, Raymond was described well enough, fairly early in the sitting, and several identifying messages were given. Presently 'Moonstone' (Peters's chief control) asked, "Was he not associated with Chemistry?" As a matter of fact, my laboratory has been rather specially chemical of late; and the record continues, copied with subsequent annotations in square brackets as it stands:-- _From First Anonymous Sitting of M. F. A. L. with Peters, 27 September 1915_ Was he not associated with chemistry? If not, some one associated with him was, because I see all the things in a chemical laboratory. That chemistry thing takes me away from him to a man in the flesh [O. J. L. presumably]; and, connected with him, a man, a writer of poetry, on our side, closely connected with spiritualism. He was very clever--he too passed away out of England. [This is clearly meant for Myers, who died in Rome.] He has communicated several times. This gentleman who wrote poetry--I see the letter M--he is helping your son to communicate. [His presence and help were also independently mentioned by Mrs. Leonard.] He is built up in the chemical conditions. If your son didn't know this man, he knew of him. [Yes, he could hardly have known him, as he was only about twelve at the time of Myers's death.] At the back of the gentleman beginning with M, and who wrote poetry, is a whole group of people. [The S.P.R. group, doubtless.] They are very interested. And don't be surprised if you get messages from them, even if you don't know them. (Then 'Moonstone' stopped, and said:--) This is so important that is going to be said now, that I want to go slowly, for you to write clearly every word (dictating carefully):-- "NOT ONLY IS THE PARTITION SO THIN THAT YOU CAN HEAR THE OPERATORS ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT A BIG HOLE HAS BEEN MADE." This message is for the gentleman associated with the chemical laboratory. [Considering that my wife was quite unknown to the medium, this is a remarkably evidential and identifying message. Cf. passage in my book, _Survival of Man_, containing this tunnel-boring simile; page 341 of American edition (Moffat Yard & Co.).--O. J. L.] 'Moonstone' continued:--
