EVERY MORNING AT THE SAME TIME,
AND THE PERSON WILL RETURN TO YOU BEFORE THE 29TH DAY.



TO BRING A LOVED ONE BACK TO YOU

     (If a person left home, how would you bring them [!] back?)  [As I have said elsewhere - the language of the interview.]

     Ah wisht ah brought mah data along with me - but anyhow ah have [know] it.  In that case, an' ah have lots of [cases like] that, yo' simply take a glass of water, cut a rag, a hole in a rag - fill the glass full of clear water, cut a hole in the rag [demonstrates] somethin' like this, fold it, an' jes' cut that.
     Tie that rag on the top of that glass tight.
.
     (You take the piece of rag and fold it twice and you then cut out the center - have the exact center over the top of the glass.)
     Uh-hmm.

     All right, an' yo' get a box of matches, new matches.
     Every morning between four and five a'clock - you must do it between four and five a'clock, you get up and center your mind on the individual you want to come to you.

     You must concentrate on that individual - nuthing else in your mind but that individual, and go take those matches and strike three of 'em one at a time, "In the Name of the Father" - strike it to you - "In the Name of the Father" and call his name - like if his name is John Brown, jes' say, "John," light them over there, "John, I bid you to come to me," and drop that match while burning in that glass of water.

     (Through the hole into the water?)
     Yes.  Wait a few minutes, "In the Name of the Son, I bid you, John, come to me," strike that match and drop it down.

     (Strike it always toward you.)
     Toward you.

     The third time, "In the Name of the Holy Ghost, I bid you, John, come to me" and drop it in there.  Do that for 29 mornings - he'll be back 'fore the 29 mornings is up, he'll be there.

     (That is all you have to do.)

     No, wait a minute.  You must do this regularly - regularity counts, and your concentration.

     Then you go back to your room and read the 40th Psalms.  It starts off by saying, "I waited patiently for the Lord.  He inclined His ear to me and heard me" - so on and so forth.  Read that prayerfully an' carefully with your mind still on the individual.

     Do this for 29 mornings and before the 29th morning comes, I guarantee - money back guarantee - the individual will either write or be in your presence.  And I have done proved what I've said.

*(Moderator note:  Here is the 40th Psalm, King James Version)

PSALM 40

1I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

 2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

 3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

 4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

 5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

 6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

 7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

 8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

 9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

 10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

 11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

 12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

 13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

 14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

 15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

 16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

 17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

TO TURN THEIR MINDS TOWARD YOU


What is worn next to the body can be used to control the individual.

     It must be concentrated on and dressed by smoking over burned perfume [probably means incense] and buried to turn their minds toward you.

     (If you get hold of this handwriting or letter of theirs?)

     Yes, that's right, smoke it over any kind of burned perfume - smoke it over that perfume and bury it.  But the concentration is the main thing over it.

TO DRAW HIS MIND TO HER
AND MAKE HIM LIKE HER

     (The man doesn't like her very much.  What would you do to make him like her?)

     Git some of his hair or git a piece of his sweatband out of his hat and put it in a bottle, urinate on it and put it away in a dark place, make a wish on it and hold it there.
     Turn his mind on her sure as the world.

TO BRING THEM BACK AND KEEP THEM THERE


TAKE A NEW FILE.
DRIVE ONE END HALFWAY INTO THE GROUND
AT ONE CORNER OF YOUR HOUSE.
THEN BREAK THE FILE IN HALF,
LEAVING THE HALF YOU'VE DRIVEN INTO THE GROUND WHERE YOU PLACED IT.
TAKE THE OTHER HALF TO THE OTHER CORNER OF YOUR HOUSE,
AND, WITHOUT TURNING OR TWISTING THE FILE AT ALL,
DRIVE IT INTO THE GROUND THERE.

     (Have you ever heard of people going out to the forks of the road to do something?)
     Well, yes.

     Now listen, you kin take a new file, if you wanta bring a person back to de house sometime.
     You takes dis end and drives it down halfway.  You take something and break in two, and that same part you broke, don't turn it over [upside down or twist it in any way].  You go to the other corner and you put [it into the ground in the same position it was broken off] - one in one corner of the house and the other in the other corner of the house.  Drive it down there and they'll stay there.

    (I see, that's to keep a person home or something of that sort.)
