TEXT

  1. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1170], and those conditions and circumstances as surround the body and those dependent upon same. Ready for questions.
  2. (Q) For what work am I best suited?
    (A) That of a salesman in lines as pertain to utilities, for the experiences not only in the present but in the past have fitted, or give a tendency towards such conditions in the life of the body, [1170]. Utilities, or such.
  3. (Q) Is there something else that I can do, other than I am now doing, that will be more profitable? If so, what is it, and where?
    (A) In any place there is an outlet for such, that IS satisfactory to the body AND those that are dependent upon same; or with ones that are DISTRIBUTORS of such as utilities in any lines. These, as we find, would offer the better opportunity, and be more profitable to the body.
    In the districts as are in Tidewater, or that portion of the country WHERE the body has labored - see?
  4. (Q) It is our desire to finish [146]'s treatments and educate the three boys. Will we be able to do this?
    (A) With their own assistance, as we find, this will be, and may be accomplished for those who will take same.
  5. (Q) Shall I continue in the automobile business?
    (A) There have been some associations, some connections recently made which, while not including this as a whole, or only in part, as we find, will keep the body close in touch with that part, or a portion of utilities.
  6. (Q) What specific utilities would be the best?
    (A) Any that's in the utility line. As WE would find, those that have to do with a sort of combination store and auto shop, or dispensary of parts, or of those that have to do with autos. The Ford agency at the Beach would be very good!
  7. (Q) Shall I accept the Thayer proposition?
    (A) Not until all others are weighed well together with this, and then as circumstances and conditions surround the body, weigh these well together.
  8. (Q) Advise if I should operate a filling station myself? If so -
    (A) (Interrupting) This would be very well, and - as given - this may be done in Tidewater, or may be done in the present surroundings.
  9. (Q) If I should change location, which would be better - Tidewater or Eastern North Carolina?
    (A) As we have given, Tidewater would be better.
  10. (Q) Would changing climate effect my health or that of any of my family?
    (A) As we find, would - in the present - be better for all concerned - in Tidewater. The atmospheric pressure, as indicated in the conditions as respecting the respiratory system - as well as circulation - has been so altered, or so changed in the activities of the body, that if these are kept (that is, the activities) in the open, would be well in any of Tidewater.
  11. (Q) Shall we sell our home? If so, when and how? What price?
    (A) This, as we find, would not be - or would not be well to consummate - before the late Fall, or early next Spring. As to the price, or as to how - these, as we find, will present themselves as the circumstances and the surroundings indicate by the activities of the body.
  12. (Q) Shall we accept a proposition from Mrs. Mourraille?
    (A) All of these are to be considered well together with the various conditions or surroundings that are brought about by these various suggestions. There have been some determinations, or INTENTIONS builded in the body recently. These, as we find, would be well to consider - but we would not DECIDE under thirty or sixty days, and then after due consideration to all things.
  13. (Q) Under present conditions and circumstances, would it be well to make a trip to Virginia Beach to look into the Ford agency?
    (A) Would be well.
  14. (Q) Is there any warning you would give to safeguard the health of the body at this time?
    (A) As we have found, and as we have given, do not consider that which would keep the body confined within doors. That the general warning. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

  1. 5/19/31 Wife visited EC, spoke of possibility of Mr. [1170] starting in some business at Virginia Beach.
  2. 5/24/31 Wife, Mrs. [959] submitted his questions.
  3. 5/29/31 Wife's letter: "I and [am] so anxious to get Mr. [1170]'s reading, hoping the information will help us to keep out of the county poor house."

REPORTS

  1. 6/20/31 Wife's letter: "Thanks for sending the reading so promptly. At first we were a little disappointed, in that it had no definite Do's and Dont's, but after studying it carefully and weighing it to all advantages, there is light. We are very much pleased and feel hopeful. Mr. [1170] had not revealed to me the 'determinations of in the mind of the body' that the reading spoke of, but on the next day some plans were revealed by the man he is now working for that helps us to see the way clear for him to follow the 'determinations.' He does not think very well of the Ford agency ANYWHERE, though he would like very much to BE at the Beach."
  2. 12/03/31 GD's letter to Mrs. [959]: "Funny, the Ford agency here has changed hands, just as the reading indicated."
  3. 1/31/32 Wife's letter: "You remember in [1170]'s reading last summer we asked if we should sell our home and when. The answer was it would not be well to culminate before late winter or early spring. Well, we had had no inquiry until about Dec. 15th, a family was moving in here and wanted to rent a house for year with the idea of buying later. We rented our house to them, they are pleased with the house, it looks very hopeful now that they will buy - just as the reading said. We were t move in with Mother [356] and Father [2176] and did, then after Father's death we had other changes to make, so it seems all we have done is pull furniture around in this house. There have been so many things come up that they have assured us that God is leading us clearly and surely toward a higher and better goal. So often we could not see the way at all, then seemingly out of a clear sky help would come."
  4. 5/12/36 She obtained a Physical Rdg. for Mr. [1170] - See 1170-2. [He was then operating a general merchandise cash store in another small West Va. town.]
  5. 4/24/40 HLC's form sent: "Please give below a report on the 'Question Reading' regarding business, etc. of 6/13/31; as to any correct indications or results from following or not following such suggestions made."
  6. 4/29/40 Wife's reply: "A-3 [1170-1, Par. 4-A] is being accomplished, as [...] (2nd boy) is paying part of his education in ... College, ..., Ky., and [...] (youngest) is beginning to show signs of self support.
    "A-10 [1170-1, Par. 11-A] was answered in early spring. [See 1/31/32 letter, Par. R3 above.]
    "A-13 [1170-1, Par. 14-A] - we found his health broke INDOORS but it seemed unavoidable at the time."
