People's Choral Society Concert Featuring Modeste Abda'llah Guillaume

Identification caveat. This event documents Modeste Abdallah Guillaume / G. M. Abda'llah as named in the source. Whether that man is the "Abdullah" Neville Goddard described as his teacher is not settled — see documentation/ABDULLAH-DISPUTE.md. Per the governing rule, neither the identification nor its rejection is asserted as fact here; a null verdict is a legitimate outcome and a wrong identification is worse than none.
