Man Holds Hands Eighteen Hours In Faith Driven Test
Paul W. Goldabury, 25, Williams College 92, Chicago Reed Medical Institute attendee, claims to have held the hands of Mrs A J Wesner for eighteen hours during a religious experience near Mount Grace. Mrs Wesner, wife of Prof A J Wesner, is described as a soprano with strong reformer ties. He cites divine guidance and a shared spiritual bond, denying Christian science or spiritualism, and attributes the incident to God’s direction rather than human will. The pair say they slept with hands joined and were separated by force after the long clasp.
