1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes.
3. Too late in the application of those things for material benefits in this present experience. As is indicated, not only the toxic forces have been the more active but sepsis has already begun.
4. These then would rather be for those who are mindful of the associations and relations:
5. Know that life is a continuous experience, and as there is a consciousness in sleep that is not physical - in the sense of physical awareness - so there is a consciousness in the same manner when the physical is entirely laid aside.
6. HE indeed is the resurrection and this life. In HIM do we put our trust.
7. Then there should not be sorrow and sadness in those periods when the physical turmoils and strifes of the body are laid aside, for the moment, for the closer walk with Him.
8. For indeed to be absent from the material body is to be present with the Lord.
9. Let those admonitions and those promises, then, fill thy life - and so determine within selves that ye will walk the closer with Him day by day.
10. And then when the shadows, as here, begin to close about, and there is the meeting at the river, there will be indeed no sorrow when this barque puts out to sea.
11. We are through for this present. Copy to [1564] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file [Mrs. [1602] phoned - said they all felt it was useless; she
