Neville departs for a two-month absence and San Francisco lectures

Neville tells his audience that he had left them two months earlier, and that where before he had only heard of and believed the principle he taught, he can now say he has seen it directly. He goes on to describe an experience from the morning of 20 July in San Francisco, which fell during this absence -- his mystical 'birth from above' -- as the fulfillment he returned able to testify to firsthand rather than merely on faith.

    Reasoning Two months before the lecture's certain 1959-09-08 delivery date lands on circa 1959-07-08 -- consistent with the lecture's own later reference to his 20 July 1959 San Francisco experience, which fell during this absence.

1959-09-08 [exact/certain/final] The Birth of the Babe When I left two months ago I asked you to join in testing with me what I have heard and told you, but now I can say as did Job “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eyes seeth thee.” Tonight as I stand here I can say what he said centuries ago. When I left I had heard of this principle and I had proved it but I had not seen it; but now I have seen it so I can stand here and tell you something I could not have told you two months ago. 529096
