I recall somewhere around about the year nineteen twenty, nor many years after moving out in Sayville, Long Island, to live, there was a song composed by the Spirit of My Presence. According to my conscious conviction, or Conscious Realization whichever, I brought it forth, and a transcriber said he got in touch with the phonograph company, the Victrola Company and be brought representatives to guarantee me fifty thousand dollars for that one song. I said, and still am saying, I could not, cannot, and would not sell my gift, my spirit, my mind, my words, my life, for a million dollars. I have never sold a song, – not one song ballad, – neither have I endorsed any person selling a ballad, for if they are the words of life by inspiration, they are the invisible Christ in that expression. It is indeed wonderful! If I sell the invisible Christ by inspiration, I would just as well to sell the visible Christ as personified, as Judas did.”
