1. HLC: You will have before you Group #1, members of which are present here, and their work on the lesson RIGHTEOUSNESS VERSUS SIN. As I call each paragraph, please comment on it, giving any suggestions necessary for improvement:
2. EC: Yes, we have the group as gathered here, and their work on the lesson RIGHTEOUSNESS VERSUS SIN. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) First, Introduction. (A) This is very good. May be expanded more in portions, if by the collaborators it is desirable.
4. (Q) What is Righteousness? What is Sin? (A) Very good. Very well are the compilations here.
5. (Q) There is a Way. (A) Very good.
6. (Q) God's Purpose for Us. (A) Very good.
7. (Q) Our Purpose in Life. (A) Very good.
8. (Q) Conclusion. (A) Very good.
9. (Q) Would you suggest any general improvements for this lesson? (A) Only as there might be some expansion in the first presentations that have been indicated. [See lesson manuscript under 262-129, Par. R8.]
10. (Q) Please give the affirmation for the next lesson. (A) The next lesson as we find that would be well here, following this, would be: GOD - LOVE - MAN. The affirmation for such would be: LET THAT LIGHT BE WITHIN ME IN SUCH MEASURES THAT I, AS A CHILD OF GOD, MAY REALIZE HIS LOVE FOR MAN. MAY I LIVE THAT, THEN, IN MY LIFE DAY BY DAY.
11. (Q) Would you give any basic thoughts for this lesson? (A) In this period of man's experience in the earth there is the greater need that he, man, consider the purposes (and the needs) of God in his daily life. There is the need for such thought, such meditation on this universal

consciousness, this field, to be manifested by man's love, man's activity towards his fellow man. For, the basic truth that must be presented throughout the study of this subject, is: "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker." Man's ability, man's consciousness, man's thought - then - must be directed more and more - by those in authority, those in power, those as leaders, those as teachers, those as fathers and mothers, those as associates one with another - to those principles, GOD - LOVE - MAN.
12. We are through for the present. .
