TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here. Physical, mental, spiritual, financial. In the physical forces of this body, here we find very good in many respects. There are conditions of which the body might be warned. While those of the physical forces function well at the present time through the relativity of conditions as are seen through existent forces as manifest, beware rather of temperature or fevers for the body in the present year. Do not allow this to bring a worry or a hardship.
2. Be sure the water that is taken is pure.
3. In the mental forces of the body, these are good. Much may be said regarding the mental abilities of the body especially as related to the spiritual development of the entity.
4. Taking the body not physical but the mental and the spiritual body. Here we find one of exceptional developments along many lines with the ability to control, govern, lead, direct, influence many individuals by the manner of living rather than precept; one who abhors anything that would tend to leave, bring or make the least impression of falsehood.
5. Well to live by and close to this as has not only been cultivated in the actions, in the dealings of self with others but look for, expect and gain through thine own life that of the confidence of others by living same in and before same, for any service to others is as lending to thy God.
6. Let thy precepts be as that thou has set before others and as thou keepest the way before thee so shall others deal by thee.
7. In the spiritual development of self: These are as the greater forces that come to everyone, for, as is seen, while the body physical presents as a unit a oneness, yet same is made up of the spiritual, the mental and the physical. The spiritual the creator, the mental the builder, the material - that of the result of a life, a thought, a deed; for thoughts are deeds and may be miracles or crimes in their execution and the end thereof.
8. In that of the financial: Here we find perplexities present themselves to the body mind - body mind of this entity or body. In the way as has been set by self, this presents the better channel in the present for the executing of that spiritually mentally and physically builded at present in the life.
9. In those conditions as are presenting themselves for consideration for changes, these should be of the growth and not where all of a sudden by giving too much opportunity for others that are not as high minded as self to control.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) The body has been under very severe strain for the past two years with responsibility of two businesses - the Beltine Chemical Company, and the Paloma Company. Is his health holding up as well as it appears to be? Are there certain precautions he should take in particular regarding headaches?
    (A) These conditions as given present two different conditions in the life - one gains the closer attention than the other. Neither will bring to the body those of deficiencies in ability in the mental or the physical. Beware only of that as has been given for the present year respecting the character of water taken by the body, else fever may be a result. See?
12. (Q) How should the water be prepared before drinking?
    (A) Just be sure same is pure. The strain on the physical abilities are more worry than the physical deterioration or of a physical distress, just as given. Set self in that way of trusting and expect that of trust be returned and this will give more ease to the mental and physical forces of the body.
13. (Q) Is he wise to continue with the Paloma Company or has the Beltine Company sufficient future to warrant his entire efforts?
    (A) For the present keep both as given. Let the growth of the one supercede the endeavor in such a manner that that builded will warrant, will require the full efforts of the body. Such should occur in the fourteenth month from the present period covering, as seen, that of the changes as as will come through many channels as will relate to these endeavors of this body.
14. (Q) How can Paloma Company be properly financed? Can Stevenson be depended upon to finance it?
    (A) Sufficient unto the needs of the company at the present. Yes.
15. (Q) Will the chain restaurant end of the Paloma Company succeed under present plans and Rohm's management?
    (A) These will with the present policy succeed; necessary, as seen some changes, though the management not badly placed.
16. (Q) Is Whittle a man [5680] can trust and will he develop into a valuable man as partner with [5680]?
    (A) As has been given, the body mentally, physically, spiritually creates confidence in the lives of others. This directed in the proper channel will bring Whittle to that point of giving the best within self. Beware that the physical health of Whittle does not give way. This would be the only factor detrimental in the best development of that body for the association with [5680].
17. (Q) Should Lippold be retained in the Beltine Company and what accounts for his failure to make good lately?
    (A) Not well that condemnation be given too soon. Not well that one be judged too harshly, not as called to the carpet or to account but take the body in hand and direct the way of the actions of same through precept and example and warn Lippold especially of the associates. This accounts most for the failure.
18. (Q) Should the Paloma Punch Department be extended nationally according to present plans?
    (A) No.
19. (Q) Are there any indications as to whether or not this is to be a hot summer or what we may expect from the weather this summer?
    (A) These as associations. We find there will be what may be well termed a temperamental season especially through the central portion of the country, U.S.A. There may be expected exceedingly hot weather, dry weather, and lasting for a long season.
20. We are through.
