In giving that which would be the most helpful in the present
experience, much of that which has been given would be
reiterated; especially as regarding the spiritual welfare,
the mental attitude - and then there may be expected that
which will bring into the experience that which is the most
helpful in the material welfare. It is well to gain that
full concept that all there is in materiality is of the
spirit; is of the spirit of truth, if it is constructive.
They that live by the spirit, through the mental attributes
of same, shall prosper in the Lord. They that live by might
or main, though their days may be glamorous, find that
contentment shall flee away; and those things that make for
disorder, disturbance, distrust, must arise in the
experience, for these are not the fruits of the spirit. For
these are they: Just being kind, just being in that manner
in which the fellow man is served day by day; and that the
outcome of same is fellowship, patience, kindness,
gentleness, brotherly love - these manifested in the
experience; not by jerks and spurts but as a living example
day by day, not to be seen of men alone but rather that which
is done in secret shall be proclaimed from the housetops.
THESE should be, as has been indicated, the mental attitudes
of the body, if there is to be had that which brings harmony,
peace, understanding and those things that make not afraid.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would a series of tennis courts and handball courts
more than pay for themselves at Va. Beach this summer?
(A) These might, if handled properly, pay for themselves.
It would require a great deal of exertion and expenditures
to make such in a way and manner as to be the way to make
material gains for same.
(Q) Which of the two locations would be best for such; on
Atlantic Ave. across from the pavilion at the Old Casino or
the lot on 23rd & Arctic Ave.? and how much should I pay
for the lease on each?
(A) On Atlantic Avenue, provided this was made with such an
enclosure that those entering as spectators would contribute
to the upkeep, and those playing could be assured of not
being disturbed while playing by others passing across or
close to the grounds.
As to how much, this should not be a great amount -
especially in the first season; almost equal to that which
would be necessary for the preparing of same for the use -
this should be ALMOST the pay in the first year. Not over
fifty or a hundred dollars.
(Q) Would it be advisable to lease both of the stands we
had last year or take one and try to improve it? Which one?
(A) The one. The one near the 26th Street would be the
better.
(Q) What can I do to improve business in our stand this
year?
(A) Just that same attitude of courteous treatment, being on
the job, of meeting the people in the way of friendly manner.
As ye would have them be to you, be to them.
(Q) Do you see that I am fitted for the job with H. J.
Reilly [Harold J. Reilly, Ph.T.] as manager of his Sun Air
Park at Oak Ridge, N.J.? If so, whom should I have with me
to help me in this work, and when should I try to get into
that work?
(A) This depends upon a great many different conditions.
So far as the body being FITTED, it would be of necessity
have to FIT self for such; and as to the abilities and
capabilities, these are sufficient for the handling of same.
As to who would be associated, this - too - would depend
upon circumstances and that as would be necessary, or that
as would be required, the wife would be sufficient, if there
are those opportunities for services in these directions; for
this would not only mean the maintaining of the conditions
but be for the general growth of the whole condition or
surrounding. As to when, not until there is a change in the
present management.
(Q) Is there any other work with H. J. Reilly or The Reilly
Service for which I am fitted and in which I might receive
advancement?
(A) Any of that which has to do with the trainings of those
in their exercise, as in the hand ball courts, as in the gym,
as in the regular work that goes with same; for the body is
VERY well fitted for such.
(Q) What line of work or business should I follow next fall?
and where?
(A) This depends a great deal upon the circumstances that
may arise. As has been indicated, anything that has to do
with the bodily exercise or the associations of self with
that which is for health of body-building as related to
others, is the character of work. As to how that these may
be developed, this may depend a great deal upon circumstance
and upon the application of self as in the directions as
indicated. For these followed as has been indicated, from
the SPIRITUAL angle, they will open - the opportunities will
open, as it were, of themselves.
(Q) What can I do to improve my health and all around
physical condition?
(A) Take care of it!
In the general activities of those things that have been
indicated for the body, keep in attune with that which makes
for well-assimilations, sufficient activities for the keeping
up of the vitality; keeping in the open sufficient for plenty
of the natural elements that go to make for the better
body-building. Do not poison the system with ANY of those
things that MAKE for disorders in any of the vital organs
that are of the nature of those that make stress upon the
liver or the kidneys.
(Q) Regarding my wife [
934] and I, what should we do about
our marriage? Should we try to get together again -
(A) (Interrupting) To be sure; for these should be the
greater activities in the experience. For they each have
their obligations, their duties to perform as one for
another. Each should be a complement one TO the other.
And this CAN be made true, if it will be worked together.
It cannot be made true separated or apart! And this would
make for a difference in not only the attitudes of others but
of the CONSISTENCY in self.
We are through for the present.
