POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
E M. Lovell-Smith writes: "One agrees with Mr Harding. One day, finding myself wearied by the task of writing—the words refused to flow — I idly turned over the leaves of a book near by. It was one of Conan Doyle's. As I did so. my wife went to the piano and commenced to play. Instantly the atmosphere changed, and I sat at a small card table. It tilted at the letters A.C.D.O.Y.L.E. Then followed 'Have you ever done any good work unassisted?' I answered, 'No. 'Well, then; if you prayed more, you would find it easier to write.'"
