  1. GC: You will have before you the entity known as [4938], who was in one of the dormitories at Barnard College, New York City, in the early morning of Saturday, September 28th. You will tell us what you are privileged to tell, and that which will be helpful to those closely concerned. You will then answer the questions that may be asked by her aunt, present in this room.

  3. This, as may be and should be understood by those who are interested, was an accident - and not premeditated or purposed by the entity.

  4. The environs or surroundings that made for these happenings, in a material world, are with the entity in the present, making for better understandings.

  5. Those that are near and dear to the entity, to make for more understandings - condemn no one, nor the circumstance. Neither mourn for those that are at rest.

  6. There is gradually coming the awakening. This, to be sure, is an experience through which the entity, [4938] is passing in the present. It is making for a helpfulness in its understanding and comprehending of that which is the experience, the awareness of same in the present.

  7. The body-physical that was broken is now whole in Him.

  8. Let thy prayer then be:

“IN THY MERCY, IN THY GOODNESS, FATHER, KEEP HER. MAKE FOR THOSE UNDERSTANDINGS IN MY EXPERIENCE, IN HER EXPERIENCE, THAT WE MAY DRAW NEARER AND NEARER TOGETHER IN THAT ONENESS OF PURPOSE THAT HIS LOVE IS KNOWN MORE AND MORE IN THE MINDS AND THE HEARTS OF THOSE THAT ARE IN THE POSITIONS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR BEING A CHANNEL, A MESSENGER, IN THE NAME OF THE CHRIST. Amen.”

  1. Ready for questions.

  2. (Q) Is she happy, and does she understand where she is? (A) As given, there is the awakening, and there is the understanding coming more and more.

And soon to the Aunt may come the awareness of her presence near.

These are the conditions.

  1. (Q) Is there anything any of us can do to help her in any way? (A) Let the prayer as given be held occasionally, especially in the early mornings.

  2. We are through with this Reading.
