1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [853], at his desk in Room ..., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to his life and work. You will answer the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [853], this we have had before.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Considering present conditions and development in my affairs, should I accept the position of Investigator in the Civil Service Commission, which is now under consideration, if it is offered to me? (A) As we find - these conditions have been indicted for the body; while there are many problems and conditions that arise in the experience of the entity, and there is the desire and purpose of the entity to again enter practice of law in his own district and county. This, as we find, should be that to which the body SHOULD desire to do eventually. But as given, through this particular period of emergency, it is better that the entity attempt to serve in those capacities as may BEST serve the whole - his fellow man, his country, and thus the better service to self. If this offer crystallizes, and gives sufficient of the worldly goods for the present for the body and dependents, then accept. If there are other channels that are in the line of duty or service through an emergency, that offer greater remuneration, accept same. For, understand, these are to be practically temporary, or for the duration of the war and portions of the early reconstruction, see? but if there are other opportunities, accept those; PROVIDED it is in the channel where there is a service in the line indicated.
5. (Q) If I accept the position, would it be best to take my wife with me wherever I go, or where would it be best for her to stay?

(A) As we find, it would be best for her to select some place, some environ that is most pleasing, that will enable her to be with the body at TIMES, but have a regular place to stay. But the choice should be made by the entity itself - the wife.
6. (Q) Having made application for examination Attorney position in Internal Revenue, is that the examination which was suggested to me in previous Rdg.? (A) That is one of those, yes.
7. (Q) What are the channels or procedures or constituents, mentioned in previous Rdgs. by which I could get the position as attorney in Internal Revenue? (A) Through those regular channels as come through Civil Service appointment used in connection with the influences that direct in such channels. These become partially political, as of course is understood by the body.
8. (Q) What is and where could I take the proper examination? (A) These will come in their regular order.
9. (Q) In view of the changing world conditions, and conditions in my family, could I better serve in another capacity here or in ...; if so, please state how and where? (A) As to the places, as to the times, as to the character of service, these - as just indicated - to be sure must be choices of the entity itself. No influence that simply puts an individual being in a place, without the heart, the purpose, the mind of the individual being in same, may enable the individual to serve the better. So, choice is necessary. Hence, that was given from the beginning, and it applies in the spiritual world, the mental world, the material world. Consider that as given, and that is thine own problem, as ye ask, as ye see others serving in the present emergency. Then so do thyself.

12. (Q) How and with whom? (A) These should be the NATURAL things as come. There are plenty of those that seek for the various things the body can do. Let it be known that you desire such. These may be with wholesale, with retail, or with all the different characters of ordinance and work open in this vicinity.
