First, in material conditions, we will find those of a secular life that has to do with wheels, or machinery, or things of motive force, will be of the greatest interest and of those elements through which—or in the sale, or representative, or agent, or such—may the entity gain of material conditions; but first must entity find self and set an ideal for self in spiritual matters, in mental attributes, in mental attainments; for remembering that Mind is the Builder, and that the spirit forces is that which is the active force from which, of which, man may use same for material gains or material detriments; for the spirit is willing, the flesh is often weak, and guided awry must bring for consternations—as they have in the past. Show self friendly, would self have friends. Seek through channels that there has been service rendered; not as an eyeservice, that one may become beholden to another; and do not pat another on the back simply to be patted; but speak gently, affectionately, one with another; with brotherly love preferring one another, and keep self unspotted from tainted things, questionable positions, questionable conditions. So act, as to look every man in the face and to be able to tell them that, that I have committed is an open book, and he who runs may read; that I have done may all do likewise. Act in that manner, and the sureness of self may be found in the material, in the mental things—for God is not a respecter of persons; neither is He short armed, either in giving that as will mete out for the keeping of the will one with another; neither is He short sighted in that as is committed in willful negligence, or willful disobedience, for he that abhorreth good loveth evil, and he that buildeth contention shall suddenly be destroyed—and that without mercy. Show mercy and loving kindness, then, would same be had.
