2 - Because of Leslie
Leslie – Dr. Leslie R. Stone – was the custodian and first publisher of the writings that we today refer to as the Padgett Messages.
Because of Leslie we have the original handwritten papers that James used to record the messages. James received communications from spirits by the means of automatic writing. If Leslie did not do the work of preserving and publishing James' work, would I even be writing this today?
What exactly did Leslie do? The writings of James have no punctuations – no commas, periods, sentence structure, paragraphs, etc. All this was done through transliteration, started to an extent by James himself, and later completed by Leslie.
Compilation into published books for public distribution was started some 20 years after the death of James, and not completed until 1971, after the death of Leslie Stone.
The original compiled books of Leslie Stone, four volumes titled “True Gospel Revealed Anew by Jesus,” are unchanged and will not be modified or updated in any manner. These original four volumes are part of the ongoing work of an organization called the Foundation Church of the New Birth. It was this organization that sponsored the 100th Anniversary and Divine Love Retreat held recently in Washington, DC, where all this began in 1914.
Because of Leslie – the work that he did to preserve and publish the writings of James Padgett, we who are living today and have knowledge of the existence of the Padgett Messages, and have experienced the Divine Love spoken about by spirits through the Padgett Messages, came from different parts of the world to celebrate and honor both men, James and Leslie.
And more than this, we came together to experience anew the wonderful gift and experience of the Divine Love
