1. GC: You will have before you the bodies and the enquiring minds of [2457] and [3657], ..., Alabama, and their business associations and relations. You will give them advice that will aid them in getting located properly at this time, telling them what changes would be best for them and where the change in location should be made to. You will answer any other questions I may ask you regarding same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, the enquiring mind of [2457], the enquiring mind of [3657].

3. Now, respecting their business relations and the desire of each to locate at this time where there may be, at least, the CHANCE for the success of the undertakings. There are many conditions to be considered in this light. There are many varying circumstances that have to do with the failure or the success of an undertaking. The abilities of the body are above the average, even above the normal in some lines, yet there are those hindrances also associated with the undertakings that do not savour of the correct principles, or correct status of conditions, as would bring about the best for each. There are differences that arise that made and bring unpleasantnesses; not only in the regular way, but bring those that make it unpleasant for either of the individuals to go about either the business or social relations in the proper way.

4. In making, then, any changes, all these things must first be considered; for while already there is in the minds of them that there may be better circumstances, more opportunities, broader fields of endeavor - these are true, and in that district wherein these have ALREADY made some inquiries, made partial arrangements that were such and such to happen, or do such and such changes come about, that this would be the better place for location - in the Birmingham or in the mineral district. This good, even as any other would be, with the abilities of either or both. To make a

success of their lives, first there must be that correct principle from which each must labor; which is first finding self, and self in the correct relationship with each other, with the fellow man, and first of all with the creative forces as give that as may be applied in the material or the spiritual life, and THROUGH same come those successes, those satisfactions, that are in keeping with the promises as have been made. Be persistent, be consistent, and above all remain true to every promise as has been and is made between each. WHEREVER either might decide to endeavor to build up the right kind of surroundings for such business relations, there the success may be made - whether in Birmingham, Mobile, Cullman, or in the East. Any change, necessarily, brings much of the new fields to be gone through, new friendships, new conditions must be created, and if these are builded on the same principles that have brought to the bodies the conditions now existent - the same conditions will be the result.

5. Then the change most to make, is in self. NOT so much in the ABILITY to apply self, but in the APPLICATION of self to EVERY condition presented to self for the activity of that KNOWN to be in the proper direction. Do that.

6. We are through with this reading.
