Many of you gathered in the room tonight have greatly improved your understanding of the processes by which understanding of your fellow man is best accomplished. The word, "tolerance" should be at the head of any list when one is gathering together ways of action to be used in the dealings with your fellow men. The world is comprised of a hodgepodge of many individuals with varying degrees of intelligence, manners of speech, actions and beliefs. To successfully integrate with others your ideas and beliefs requires a careful study of the mannerisms with which Jesus walked around through his earthly ministry. His example still stands apart as the best set of guidelines for you to emulate. When one is confronted with an unusual situation or person there is no better base to operate from than that of thinking to yourself, "How would Jesus have handled this?". If only in this exercise you could achieve some regular success, then you will have been much furthered along on the spiritual path.

The many types of people encountered throughout your lifetime, and particularly at such gatherings as were being held last week (IC93-editor), present you with an endless variety of opportunities for growth. The manner in which you receive and interact with each individual you encounter enables you to expand your knowledge and, perhaps, have a direct uplifting effect on that individual as well. Your progress in these areas has been noted and we are indeed pleased with your persistent efforts. The group meetings recently sponsored by the Urantia Fellowship group were looked upon with great interest and we feel that it was productive and meaningful for those who were able to attend. I was pleased to have several representatives from our group to be able to attend and to be able to return and share with the others some of the goings on. I also was pleased to be able to attend myself as a first hand observer. There were many [in attendance] from among the various teaching groups which proved beneficial to all concerned. Many a chord was struck although not always apparent.

This comes at a good time, for soon our work will be upstepped again. We will be asking you to pay more attention to your dealings with others whereby more may be touched with the Father's love through you, our workers in the mission. This is not new. You have been asked to do this before. It is, for most, an ongoing struggle to remain in the constant flow of the Father's love, sharing it with those around you. There are many distractions. We would only ask that you attempt to spend more time in conscious thought and deed as you continue in your work trying to do the Father's will in all that you do. You will accomplish much. It is a work filled with joy. When you have love to give, you also are filled with the love - the loving feeling that must surely fill you to overflowing if you are to have love to pass on. I think you will like the feeling. The Father pours His blessing out over all of you, each and every one. Not only at the given moment, but throughout the day. It only takes a moment to recognize it. Take in all that you can and pass on to others what is left. There will never be a shortage; it is always an abundance. It is the most pleasant work I can imagine. You will be lifted up, filled with the Father's love and joy and also, importantly, you will be filling another, touching another with that love. This is what is required of you in your work. We think that you will like it.

It is good to be back among you, among my friends. You are all very dear to me. I have missed our time together. I send you all my love tonight. That is all I have to say.
