PEACE, POWER and PLENTY.

It was in April 1904, now 98 years ago that a spiritual healer named Clara T. Stocker of Cascade, British Columbia established a centre of what she called High Mysticism, known as "Holy Silence Prayer Temple". Ms. Stocker wrote a message entitled "Realization Through Concentrated Attention" which came to the attention of the minister of the Universalist Church of Spokane, Washington, Dr. Albert Cotton Grier, who had for many years been in very poor health. This happened in 191 0. In Dr. Grier's own words, Ms. Stocker's essay "was the match which set on fire....my soul and through its tiny flames the big flame was started.". All he was saying is that he was healed and so inspired by this new "realization" that to him it was the discovery of the "Truth" of life and living. As some of us have attempted to do in similar circumstances, he tried to persuade his colleagues in the Universalist Church of the merit of his new vision.

Stocker became a teacher of Hopkins mature metaphysical teachings, having studied with Hopkins in her late New York years. She divided her time between Cascade, British Columbia and Spokane Washington. Stocker created a Hopkins Memorial Chapel in Cascade.
