A few days before the final dinner party Carter phoned Neville about a high experience of coming authority; Neville broke in with "it's all a gift, it's all grace" and then told the Mrs. Murphy Lourdes joke (holy water turned scotch — "it's another miracle"), which Carter afterwards understood as Neville announcing his coming demise in the form of a joke, keyed to "relics". [Date evidence: "A few days before our dinner party" — c. 26–29 September 1972]

    Why Matches the event's own description bracket exactly.
    Reasoning Carter's testimony places this phone call 'a few days before our dinner party', which this same document dates to 1972-09-30 (hist_event:1533/1549/1541). 'A few days' bounds this to roughly 1972-09-26 through 1972-09-29; the exact day is not given.

Verbatim (witness's words)

A few days before our dinner party I called him to tell him that I was having a very very high experience. … I said, “Neville, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that some kind of authority is going to be given to me. I don’t understand it, I certainly didn’t earn it” with that he broke in and he said, “No, it’s all a gift. “It’s all grace. And I said, “Well, that’s my story. And he said, “Do you want to hear my story? And I said, “Yes. … So, I am sure you’re not surprised that he announced his coming demise in the form of a joke.

Neville (as quoted): "No, it’s all a gift. It’s all grace. … Do you want to hear my story? … Mrs Murphy went off to Lourdes to see the Holy Relics … Down on your knees and pray to the Holy father it’s another miracle"

    Source Neville Goddard The Frank Carter Lectures ¶14passage 98102 (node 1601, position 14), within the same 'Carter lecture 1' block already anchored to 6 June 1976 by hist_event:1563
    Why Same segment-boundary method as hist_event:1565, using a different anchor passage within the same block.
    Reasoning This event's key passage -- the Mrs Murphy/Lourdes joke (98102, position 14) -- falls within the same continuous narrative block (positions 0-20) as passage 98094, which hist_event:1563 already anchors to 'Carter lecture 1', dated 6 June 1976. The next segment boundary ('I think I will start today by telling you...') falls later, at position 21, so position 14 is safely inside the same lecture-1 block. Written estimated/probable per the same segment-derivation convention already used for hist_event:1563/1565 in this document.
