THE EYRIE
A man named John John Seymour, who lives in New York, writes to the Eyrie: "The principles of Numerology have much to do with an author's popularity, with his success or failure. If Oscar Wilde had used his full name, Oscar Fingal O'Flaherty Wills Wilde, he would not (so one Numerologist tells me) have been plunged into the terrible scandal and disgrace that clouded the last years of his life. I am but a novice in Numerology, but I would like to see, if only just once, the full names of some of the authors who have made Weird Tales so popular, so that I can determine (to my own satisfaction, at least) whether their success would be any greater if they used their full names. For instance, what do the initials H. P. stand for in H. P. Lovecraft's name?" [Though we are not numerologists, we willingly print for John John's benefit the full names of some of our best-known authors and artists, as follows: Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Robert Ervin Howard, Henry St. Clair Whitehead, Seabury Grandin Quinn, Hugh Doak Rankin, Virgil Warden Finlay, Paul Frederick Ernst, Abraham Merritt, Edgar Hoffmann Price, Victor Rousseau Emanuel.—The Editor.]
The Necronomicon
Fred C. Miles, of New Providence, New Jersey, writes: "Have not written to the Eyrie for several years, but the uniform excellence of the December Weird Tales has, at long last, evoked this burst of praise. The Fire of Asshurbanipal was, as the cover proclaimed, a superb story. It fills one with an almost nameless dread to contemplate future issues of Weird Tales without the name of Robert E. Howard gracing its pages. No doubt many of his stories will be reprinted, and I cast the first vote for a Solomon Kane tale—Wings in the Night. I regard that as one of Howard's finest works; indeed, it is one of the most truly weird stories ever printed in the magazine. St. John's cover for December is actually a weird illustration, something rather rare of late, excluding, of course, the same artist's cover for the October issue. I am very glad to see that Virgil Finlay is to do a cover in the near future.
Man Can Now
Talk With God
"A new and revolutionary religious teaching based entirely on the misunderstood sayings of the Galilean Carpenter, and designed to show how we may find, understand and use the same identical power which Jesus used in performing His so-called Miracles," is attracting world wide attention to its founder, Dr. Frank B. Robinson, noted teacher, author and lecturer.
"Psychiana," this new psychological religion, believes and teaches that it is today possible for every normal human being, understanding spiritual law as Christ understood it, "to duplicate every work that the Carpenter of Galilee ever did"—it believes and teaches that when He said, "the things that I do shall ye do also," He meant what He said and meant it literally to all mankind, through all the ages.
Dr. Robinson has prepared a 6000 word treatise on "Psychiana,” in which he tells about his long search for the Truth, how he finally came to the full realization of an Unseen Power or force "so dynamic in itself that all other powers and forces fade into insignificance beside it"—how he learned to commune directly with the Living God, using this mighty, never-failing power to demonstrate health, happiness and financial success, and how any normal being may find and use it as Jesus did. He is now offering this treatise free to every reader of this magazine who writes him.
If you want to read this "highly interesting, revolutionary and fascinating story of the discovery of a great Truth," just send your name and address to Dr. Frank B. Robinson, 418 Second St., Moscow, Idaho. It will be sent free and postpaid without cost or obligation. Write the Doctor today.—Copyright, 1935, Dr. Frank B. Robinson.
