Time of Reading 10:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.
1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ... St., New York City, and the dreams this body had on the dates which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from each of these, as I read them to you, and you will answer the questions I will ask you regarding same.
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had before. Ready for dreams.
3. (Q) Morning of May 19, 1927. Voice: "And when thou art in trouble or when thou stumble, I will give my angels charge over thee." And behold my father, and thereafter my mother[-in-law] ([139]) appeared unto me. (A) Again and again this entity gains that concept of the angels as in charge concerning those conditions that may arise that would cause worry, trouble, or consternation, and, as is seen, these giving counsel, and the body may gain in strength and in understanding through these forces that would manifest in the way as is in keeping with the entity's understanding and development; for, as is seen, the counsel of the greater vision brings the greater understanding from the vision gained by same, see?
4. (Q) These and other cosmic entities the angels? While studying a short time ago I felt their presence and they indicated that the two of us (my mother and myself or [136] and myself - I don't know which) gave them no little concern. That as to say we always seemed to be getting into some kind of hot water. Correct? (A) Correct.
5. (Q) Then my father and I came to a place for lunch. We were out on business. I seemed to talk much to some in the hotel and felt my father's disapproval at my not tending to business - that is, I feared he would not approve. I finally went out and looked for him in auto, but saw no one. Finally I saw [137] in car and I got in beside him. "Where is Dad?" I asked. [137] did not answer. "Tending to business, I suppose," I answered myself. [137] drove on to meet him, going over perilously to edge of road. [137] said: "You are not at all like other men. You are

different entirely. I don't like your way - I want to be like other men." I felt what he meant. I didn't swear or carry other men's swagger like air. "That is up to you, [137]," I replied, hurt. As I spoke I made a mark on the earth with my cane. We spoke little to each other. Finally [137] broke and leaned on my arm. We both cried with our arms about each other. I said: "Why [137], next to Ma and [136], I love you best of all. I always have." (A) In this there is seen much for the body's study and understanding, and this is given that the body may study same for its own conception and application as regarding the various conditions, for there are seen the elements of the material mindedness, even in self, or the variation of same in the mind of another, even though near and dear to the body. These may, however, cause that banishment from self of that guard concerning thy faltering ways, as may appear from time to time. The motor and the going representing again material conditions, regarding motors, and the entity having seen this takes advantage of same. Then the entity, and the body, may expect that of the perilous conditions, yet there will be - with the application of self - that of the manner given through these sources for the correct handling of same. Again there is seen that there should not be allowed any element to enter in that would deter the body from making those applications that the body may concerning the work in hand and to be accomplished through the application of self in all thy steps, see? Study, then, these, as the outline, and apply same in thine DAILY life, even regarding friend and foe, and even those of thine own house. See?
6. (Q) What is here indicated regarding our present and future relations? (A) As given - study, study, thine own self, and through same the greater conditions are gained; for when faults of any nature arise, set the greater store on thine own application, rather than on the faults, or the mis-application of others. See?
7. (Q) My dear mother[-in-law], [139], appeared, but how she appeared! There was nothing indefinite about it. She came in and swept all before her as tho she wanted to get to me sure and true. Her features were very pronounced and I saw her in greater detail than I can even now imagine her. Her usual twinkle that she has for me was not there. Her

expression was serious. She wore glasses. She said to me sternly, just two words, or I can only remember two. They were: "Such company!" (A) In this there is seen the warning to the body as regarding those relations as would bring the mis-application of the lessons gained, and the warning is given that the body may be on guard, and applying as the body should those truths gained. Not as an individual, or as specific ones; yet as a general whole of the body's surroundings in various spheres, and the entity gains that of the concept that there are then specific individuals with whom the body should associate to gain the better knowledge. THIS ALSO, as seen, has been given, and the body finds that with these surroundings as the portion of the mental consciousness, these have been felt also. See?
8. (Q) Meaning my companionship to [136] - or what? (A) To others, and that as of which the entity or body should seek, see?
9. (Q) U.S. Steel (when issued stock) 144. (A) This we don't get as applying to any of the conditions eminent in the body's association at present. These may be presented again.
10. (Q) Something regarding Chrysler Motors that I can't recall. This has been one of the most peculiar actors on the list in this strong market. (A) Now, until the general break that has been pushed aside, a strong stock, a stock wherein much more activity may be seen in the near future.
11. We are through with this reading.
