TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [319], at the state Department of Education, Ala., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to her relationships with her sister, Mrs. [410], ..., Ala. You will advise her as to her attitude, activity, and necessary procedure in order to help her sister. You will answer the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [319].
3. Now as we find, respecting the associations and relations with the sister, [410]:
4. The body mentally, at least in a manner, comprehends those disturbing conditions in the mental forces of the sister. While these may become trying, they ARE problems to be met.
5. And if conditions become such as to make it mentally unbearable, then change; yet there is needed the companionship, the advice and counsel in a SPIRITUAL way and manner.
6. Then, as we find, in the light of all the principles that are set by the ideal "Do as ye would be done by." This should be the attitude. While it may appear to be a hardship, if it is considered from the spiritual angle a great deal may be accomplished.
7. Pray a great deal over the situation; and do not become sorry for self. Do not condemn anyone.
8. We would not advise a change in the present. If it becomes unbearable, this must be the choice of self.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is her condition serious?
    (A) If those suggestions are carried out as we have indicated, this must eventually pass.
    As has been indicated, it is a period of mental disturbance as well as physical, and needs that care as has been outlined.
11. (Q) How should I act when she is in one of her tantrums?
    (A) As indicated, how would you desire she act toward you if the conditions were reversed?
12. (Q) What specifically can I do to help her?
    (A) As just indicated, reason with her; not in an argumentive manner. Do not find fault. Do not condemn. And do not feel sorry for self!
13. We are through for the present.
