Time of Reading 4:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.

1. GC: You will have before you the Work and the contemplated meeting that will be held at the Hospital on Nov. 11th. Would it be advisable to at this time give a personal demonstration of the phenomena? If so, what would be the suggestion to be made at that time? Give class and character of reading. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding the Hospital and the conducting of same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the Work as is indicated by the meeting as to be held on the 11th, as set. It would not be in keeping with the best interests of that as is contemplated to be propagated and taught at that time. That would react in the manner of being I AM - Look at ME, what I may accomplish! Let that as may be accomplished be well spoken of, and do not parade that that is holy. There was never in the examples set before man by the Master a condition where it, the work (and the same is being exemplified here), was paraded or extolled. Given rather as INDIVIDUAL application of that that might be accomplished through an individual whose spiritual life was awakened to the oneness of the life with the Creator. Make note of that, and so live and so act that THAT may be manifest in thine own life.

3. (Q) Are there any suggestions regarding the program that will help? (A) Those should be given by those in authority or charge of same.

4. (Q) Who should be in charge? (A) The president! [Morton H. Blumenthal]

5. (Q) Would the Forces advise respecting the furnishing of same, how this may be done, and anything else that will be of help to those who are interested in making the success of the institution, as has been given may be expected from same? (A) As has been oft given, through such an institution, properly handled, properly conducted, or in accord (being proper) with the forces as may guide and direct from time to time, this may be a channel through which many may come to a

better understanding of their relations to the Creative Energy and to their fellow man. In selection of the furnishings, there should be chosen those in whom the charge of such conducting is to be placed, and THOSE should select that character of furnishing to meet the needs of those conditions as are to be met in the conducting of the hospital or institution. To cause any other is to begin the defeat of the purpose for WHICH this is TO be given to mankind; and it is HARD to kick against the pricks; BUT - make that oneness of purpose in the minds of all, and let it be THY Will, O Lord, not MINE, be done! Each filling that place for which that one is chosen; not that of another. We are through for the present.
