1. EC: Yes.
2. Now, as we find, in considering those conditions as make for disturbances with this body, all phases of same should be considered. And unless there may be the full cooperative activities of all phases in bringing the experiences to all alike, not a great deal of help or aid, as we find, may be expected.

5. This responsibility, because of its requirements of constant care and the necessary patience, the necessary long forbearance, cannot be delegated to others. For that EACH soul sows, so must it meet same.
6.

11. Ready for questions.
12. We are through with this reading. Two copies to Mr. [437] Copy to Ass'n file
