In the handling of the situations as present themselves at
this time, there needs be only that same care and attention
given in the various distributing channels as is being, and
as has been, followed out by the body. The policies as have
been established are proving satisfactory in the greater
number of instances. Where there is dissension with the
product as is being distributed, this should be turned to
the channels through which corrections may be made in their
proper way and manner. This will better facilitate the body
conduct of the business in the manner as will keep the less
or the minimum of troubles coming to the special attention of
the body, that so often aggravates and unfits one for the
proper consideration of the larger, or the more effective
distributing channels. Then, that would be the advice and
counsel, to keep the self in that way and manner wherein the
service as is rendered each and every associate DEMANDS, by
that service rendered, the BEST that individual or GROUP of
individuals will be able to give to the body. So act, then,
in every business relation, that there may not be even a
question asked as to other than a service for the individual,
that will call and demand the same CLASS of service from
those so served - for like begets like, and that meted will
return in the manner as it has been given. Ready for
questions.
(Q) How should I guard against failure in carrying out the
large contract -
(A) Just given.
(Q) What is the outlook, this year, in the matter of
Majestic Radio sets and the Radio business in general?
(A) The policies as are being pursued by the general
distributing and manufacturing of this special equipment is
meeting a response that is phenomenal in itself. Will each
individual as is doing this keep that same attention as is
evidenced in the data and the service, there will be the
still greater increase in this special make, or product.
The general outlook in Radio is much of the same as is
evidenced in the abilities of the individual to attain a
better and better product. Then, the outlook would be in
keeping with that of general conditions, as is evidenced in
what is termed prosperity among the peoples; for while the
product is still in its infancy as to what may be
accomplished, it is still classed among those of
non-essentials - yet with the continued successes in the
class of product and in the abilities of individuals to
obtain same, there will be at least as good or better outlook
for the present year than that in the past, even for the
PARTICULAR product as is distributed by THIS body.
(Q) What does 1929 hold in store for me?
(A) That which the body would put into same. There has
come, from time to time, an INKLING - as it were - of the
ABILITIES of the body to succeed, in financial, social, and
in a general business way. There has been warnings given
the body concerning that, thou shall not put thine self
before that from whom thou receivest that thou hast. Keep
that in mind, that it was ever true - preferring one another
to self, and there will come the greater joy in making, NOT
the living - but the LIFE worth while! Not joy in the
everyday but the joy in the lives of those whom the body
would serve. That will create the greater in the life, and
these earthly - these material blessings, will be the RESULT
of self's service, and not the end - for what profit it a man
to gain the whole world and then find it dross?
(Q) Shall I continue to live my life as heretofore, or what
changes shall I make?
(A) More and more grow in grace and in the knowledge of the
life's purport in this mundane sphere; for it is not all of
life to live, nor yet all of death to die. Live each and
every day as if the evening was to be spent with THY Creator,
and in the MORNING of each day give thanks to the Creator for
that thou may be able to give in service and self to others,
that they may be blessed, even as the Creator would have them
be - through thine effort. Not that self is preferred above
or beyond the other, for he that would be the greatest among
men will be the servant of men. Learn what that means in the
life, and the life will be worth while.
(Q) Shall my wife and I adopt another child?
(A) WELL!
(Q) What can I do to make those dear to me more comfortable
and happy?
(A) Give that that is the BASIS of happiness; not
necessarily moneys! but if moneys are necessary for material
conditions, contribute that thou hast in hand! We are
through for the present.

REPORTS
3/19/29 Letter to EC: "I received your copy of reading this
morning, and note it is not complete.
You did not answer question #5, and none at all after
question #6. When will the reading be finished?
What is referred to in answer #3, where you say, "there have
been warnings given the Body concerning that."
3/21/29 EC's ltr. to Mr. [
4185]: "...I am of the opinion
that you will have to read ALL of the information that has
been given in connection with the question you asked, as to
what is referred to in answer #3.
I was of the opinion, after looking over the information
given, that all of your questions were included - though they
were not by numbers - but the information was in that as
given. Should you desire an extra reading taken to answer
these two questions, we would have to make an appointment for
same. We certainly desire to be of assistance if possible,
but if you will read all of the information given I am sure
you will find the reading was consistent with other
information that has been given you through other readings,
and that the information is often included in one answer to a
question that has been asked materially in another.
You will let us hear from you, if you still desire that we
take up the other questions."
GD's note:
12/01/36 and again on
11/04/38 He enquired about
possibility and current requirements for obtaining another
reading. EC answered each time with current A.R.E. data.
