Charles Stansfeld Jones Diary Entry

 Monday, 8 November 1915

 

 

 

On Saturday had a long talk with Brother B.D. [Benjamin Dawson] and went through the with him, with idea that he may take Chair if I go away. On Sunday gave a paper on the subject of UNITY in Lodge Room.

     

Two letters from Baphomet to-day. Frisco trip may be delayed I think. Went to a dance this evening and discovered some rather likely 'patients' for healing. Arranged to confer III° on Sister M.G. [Maud Grady] next Wednesday.

     

Note. I find that I am supposed to have appeared to Sister R.S.J. [Rubina Stansfeld Jones] on Wednesday night last, dressed in white with purple sash studded with white crosses. She says the vision was quite vivid and clear and it lasted some time. (She had taken 50 drops of Anhalonium [Anhalonium Lewinii] for tooth-ache. Strangely enough I am also said to have appeared to Sister C.S. [Catherine Skidmore] on the same night, just before dawn. I was also, it is said, dressed in white. Apparently I am supposed to have kissed her, but there was something she did not understand and of which I refused details. She awoke, saying "I don't understand." It is said, her husband remarked "I'm damned if I do either." (I'm sure I don't. V.I.O.)
