1. GC: You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here. This we have had before. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Will I be happier if I change my position and would it be to my best interests to do so? (A) Under the present conditions and with the present tend or bent of mind, no. We would not change as yet. The time will come, as given, for such change.
4. (Q) What can I do to be happy in my present position, working for my present employer, [257]? (A) Applying self to that in hand, and forget self and any interest that the self may have, other than of being of service to others; for service to others is that which brings that inner happiness that is satisfying to an individual seeking to gain the best in this material plane.
5. (Q) Just exactly what does my present employer, [257], think of me and what should I do to get along on better terms with him? (A) WELL does the employer think of the body and the efficiency of same. To get along better, do not apply self other than in the manner that brings only that NECESSARY association in the business way and manner; never allowing self to be over-wrought by any act or word of employer, see?
6. (Q) How can I get the most out of my present position, financially, mentally, physically and otherwise? and how can I make myself invaluable to my present employer, [257]? (A) By that same application of self to that in hand from day to day, see? By the application of self to that in hand from day to day; for, as is seen, the employer depends upon the efficiency of the body, and in application there is found the best solace for any trouble of any nature that may arise as connected with conditions - for in this manner comes the most in financial, in satisfaction, in the abilities of the body, see?
7. (Q) How much longer should I continue working for my employer, [257], and will he find me the husband he has promised to find for me, or doesn't he mean it?

(A) There will be much time yet that may be spent in the present position. The time will come when there will be many changes, and should the entity desire to bring the best to self, remain as the position is now held, even with the changes that may come about. As to the finding of the husband, find that for self. The associations, the relations, as may be necessary for such may be assisted or aided through these channels as promised. The sincerity of the individual may not be doubted, but the body should act upon self's own initiative as regarding same; for, there is seen, there have been many offers, many conditions, as have been presented as related to such conditions; yet we find the body would gain much more by that as is being accomplished through those efforts being put forth at the present time, than in other fields or channels, as YET - for the awakening to such conditions has not come to the body as yet.
8. (Q) Am I ready for marriage at the present time, and when should I get married - (A) As given. Not as yet.
9. (Q) What type of person should I marry - that is, what characteristics? (A) (Interrupting) That should come from within self, for unless there is the proper answer from within as respecting such an individual - and relations with such - that would not be the proper person, see? Do not force an issue of such nature; for there should stand first and foremost with EVERY woman: Choose him thou would have as the father of thy children, and do not consider place, position, or other than that that must answer to the Creative Forces as are brought into unison through such conditions. See?
10. (Q) Should I have married any one of the men I could have married and should I marry one Abe [...] who proposed to me last? (A) This answers for itself, see?
11. (Q) Why do I have this overwhelming desire to change my environment, financially, socially and otherwise, so that I can mingle with those in a finer and higher atmosphere? and will it ever be gratified? (A) This may be answered from within self, on account of other relations and conditions as have existed, and as has been ever present within the inmost thoughts of the entity. Turn same into that as a love of service, if the body would answer that of the highest from within self, and that which would bring that which would be the most satisfying, and the most ANSWERING, question of why such desire, or why such unsettleness from within. See?

12. (Q) What shall I do to gain contentment and peace and happiness in order to rid myself of my moody spells and depression? (A) Find within self that answering of purpose, remembering as has been said - and from which no one may wholly move away - to find full contentment or happiness, seek first the Lord while He may be found, and all these things shall be added unto you. Do as thou wouldst be done by. Not being SATISFIED, but make thine self content, and in Him there will come that peace that passeth all understanding, making of thee the better associate, the better personally, the better in work, the better in every phase of human endeavor, and most of all that joy, that peace, that comes with a purposeful life toward service.
13. We are through for the present.
