1. EC: Yes, we have the bodies, the enquiring minds, etc., present in this room, and those conditions as confront the bodies under the present circumstances. In the situations as exist, those whom are being affected by those accusations as have been made should take that to their own hearts and measure as to their standard of ideal, as whether these are being kept in line with that they DO and have professed in their spoken word. In the conditions, as we find, these conditions exist: There has been set in motion that that could bring these accusations to naught. These SHOULD be presented, however, in a manner as would show there are no entanglements of any nature necessary for the proving of an absolute false accusation made. Not only in the condition surrounding those that sought to bring accusations, but those who through their faith in the divine - as may be manifest in the material world - may seek through a legal channel made manifest in a material manner in the organization as perfected for the carrying on of such investigations, and gathering from such experiences that which may be beneficial to those who seek to know the manifestations of spiritual truths in the world. On this basis, then, should the activities be placed, so that those that have been set in motion are as free in their own conscience as those who seek for THEIR aid in the present circumstance. Ready for questions.
2. (Q) Is this case being handled properly? (A) Correctly handled. Unless there is some unseen force as not yet apparent or set, it will be only a question of PRESENTING the facts.
3. (Q) Is this case now in the proper hands? (A) In the proper hands, and there may be much given as to WHY this is [in] the present hands.
4. (Q) Who shall present the facts? (A) That one PRESENTING the case.
5. (Q) Hammerling?
254-59 Page 2
(A) Hammerling.
6. (Q) Has anything been omitted which should be done? (A) Gather all the ends together, as has been outlined, for PRESENTING the case, that it - the ones that are being accused are employees of the group studying this phenomena for the benefit of mankind, in counselling and giving aid in counseling with individuals.
7. (Q) Shall the accused take the stand? (A) When the facts are presented, as WE find, this will NOT be necessary. Should this be necessary, then will be necessary for character witnesses also. Without these, this would not be necessary - and none will be necessary, unless there are other conditions presented.
8. (Q) Is there anyone who could be appealed to, or could help us, other than those already called upon? (A) Many would be willing, but TOO MANY potters spoil that as is builded, often.
9. (Q) If this case is not dismissed - (A) (Interrupting) Let's don't consider in that direction! but should this NOT be dismissed, by there being brought accusations that it must be made a pattern of, on account of the notoriety given, and the powers that be as set such in motion, then appeal to the highest court IMMEDIATELY! and present on the merits of the conditions existent.
10. (Q) What should be done regarding the publicity? (A) In this respect would depend much upon that as is NECESSARY to be brought to bear to BRING the proper decision. Then, in the case - on the MERITS of the conditions - the whole should be presented in as far as the press [is concerned]; but rather that an article as would be in a current legitimate magazine PRESENT the facts.
11. (Q) If asked what our work is, what shall we say? not to be against the law? (A) Psychic Research.
12. (Q) Are there any directions or instructions we should have other than those asked for? (A) Let all pray in earnestness, that that as He would have come about. Let HIM direct. We are through.
