TEXT

1. EC: We have the bodies, the enquiring minds, [137], and of [900] - these we have had before. Also the dreams and visions as come to the bodies, as are given here. Ready for dream.
2. (Q) Last night, [137]'s. Didn't know whether it was myself or one of my employees, but found that had 500 shares of stock - didn't know what stock it was - and seemed to have difficulty in getting out of it. Finally managed to get rid of it EASILY.
   (A) This, as seen, the indication of conditions as have been given from time to time, of conditions with the books, and of the variation in the transposing of orders as come through the notations as made, and in these various ways there are, or have been, transfers that have not been in keeping with the manner in which these have been GIVEN from time to time. This apparently mixes up! That is, there should be more attention given to the manner in which orders are cared for; else there will occur times or periods when there will be stocks or amounts that will bring disputes as to their buying or selling this amount. Then, to eliminate these conditions, go over the books - especially in amounts of 500 share lots, and this will be eliminated. Not that these are INTENTIONAL errors, NO - but not the care and attention that is necessary for the perfect handling of such operations. This PRESENT condition came about in the changes as were made from those of orders IN and orders OUT of the office, and is rather as the warning respecting such conditions, than that TROUBLES would arise from same; for, as is indicated, that EASILY these may be corrected with the proper precautions taken. Do that.
3. (Q) Any specific stock or stocks referred to?
   (A) As given. Do as we have given, if they would locate it!
4. (Q) Would it be well for us to close a deal in which we would be associated with Senator Hammerling in the finance company? or would it be better to organize our own?
   (A) Why tempt self? or why tempt providence, as some would classify same. Many question marks have been placed after the operations of Hammerling and associates. This, to be the perfect or near perfect finance company, should be without question, open and aboveboard. While there are some commitments made, and while there are some unpleasant things that may be said from commitments, especially in association of a change, yet - as we find, would this be the near correct in handling - best that this association NOT be made at THIS stage of the activities. Even though there are wonderings as to just how, through whom, and the way this will be handled - has not [900] been warned as to a coming condition that will have a question mark? Then, at LEAST defer such an association until after the coming Saturday, and there will be reason enough for a change in the tenets of operations, would those of Hammerling during this period be watched closely. This answers, then, both!
5. (Q) [900]'s, Saturday morning -
   (A) As just given!
6. (Q) This morning. "This was given to you that you may gain the correct reaction and not become scared."
   (A) This answers its own self, in the light of that as has been given as respecting office, office force, books and their records. Also associations with others where questions are often asked. Even though they control moneys, moneys often take wings and fly away, and the activities of the body remain as the condition as would make one afraid.
7. (Q) Any further advice for [900]? Just what should he do in regard to same?
   (A) Be not afraid. Only keep self and self's activity in the way and manner in which there may be no questioning as to the intent and purport of the activities; for there has been given oft the missions that the body may or may not carry out. Will the body keep self in the right attunement, much may be accomplished in a material, a mental, and spiritual way and manner. We are through with this reading.
