Page 6 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE
P. 6
PUBLISHERS PREFACE
From November 1947 to February 1955 Murdo MacDonald-Bayne
mailed out to the general public, not only in South Africa but worldwide,
the monthly newsletters known under the title “SANCTUARY OF THE
SILENT HEALING POWER.”
These newsletters comprised a summery of readers letters, an essay,
a benediction, thanks for donations, a list of books for sale and later, details
of his weekly Lectures given in Johannesburg and Pretoria.
A great number of these essays (mostly from February 1950) were
a compendium or ‘Reader’s Digest’ version of the Lecture Notes as given
out to Murdo’s selected students in South Africa.
It is therefore to be noted that these Newsletter essays even on their
own are still very inspirational and full of wisdom. In themselves they form a
great introduction to the teachings of Murdo MacDonald-Bayne.
