1. GC: You will give the relations of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions, as I ask them.

2. EC: Yes, we have the records here of that entity now called [5308].

3. Rather would there be those instructions from the entity, than, from here to the entity. But too much commendation may not be said or given as to the abilities, as to the directions from which and through which the entity obtains or gives its help.

4. Do not attempt to work with any individual group. For the church, for the health. For the Lord is one. To be sure, there should be cooperation with others, but in the same manner as thy hand would cooperate in help ye would offer another, as thy voice would cooperate in bringing a message to another. Keep that faith, not in the manner of boastfulness nor as that which would become verbose in expression.

5. Do write - both right and write - they may be one.

6. Do keep in that way, direction, as in laying on of hands to those who believe in Him.

7. These, then, are not as that from which the experiences in the earth have come, but rather in the application in the mind of those tenets, of those promises, of those laws of Him, who is first, last and always in that real of activity "Whosoever comes may take of the water of life. Drink that ye may never thirst."

8. These hold to and thou wilt do well. These are the manners, then; not that as ye gain from any experience, for

the source is as given by him who, when he had meditated long upon life, when he had given to the peoples of the earth the basis upon which material law and order is organized: "Say not who will descend that I may have a message or who would come from over the sea that I may hear and believe, for lo! it is within thine own heart, thine own body. For today there is set before thee good and evil, life and death, choose thou."

9. Remember, ever, as ye do it unto the least of thy brethren ye do it to thy Maker. The law of the Lord is perfect, it converteth the soul. Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not thy heart, but behold He standeth at the door and knocks, and whosoever will open, He will enter in and abide with thee.

10. Not, then, by might or power but by the word of truth, of the Lord the Christ, the King.

11. Keep those tenets.

12. Do read, do write. Read, in the beginning, the third verse of the first chapter of Genesis and read thine own fate, thine own ability. For, whomsoever will may have the light within.

13. Then read again in Exodus 19:5, and who will be a peculiar people? They who keep the law of the Lord. What is the law? Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thine heart, thy mind and thy body, and thy neighbor as thyself.

14. Then again read Deuteronomy 30th, the whole chapter, as it were, to thee.

15. Then Psalms 24, 23, 91. For each bears a message to thee.

16. Then again in St. John 14, 15, 16, 17. Find when ye are on the pattern and when ye wander afield.

17. Then in the 12th of Romans and the 7th of Hebrew, ye will find thine own answer.

18. Not that these are tenets beyond that included in the love of God, the love of neighbor; rather as His last commandment: "I give unto you, love one another."

19. We are through. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file " for indexing
