===Opening===
TOMAS: Good evening.
TOMAS: Good evening.
How fascinating your discourses have been this evening. I am certain we will refer to them again before the evening is out, but I would like to first take a moment to discuss with you a thing or two, which I have saved up for such a moment as this. I would like to discuss with you Good Fortune.

===Lesson===
In bringing up the phrase "good fortune" it is necessary, certainly, to take a look at what is fortune, and in a material realm, the reference immediately falls upon the material abundance available to humankind, the "fortune" as is indicated in your economic system and your arts and so forth, but I am not focusing on that fortune. I am focusing on the good fortune of fellowship and sonship, which indeed is the gospel.

Are there questions of me this evening?

===Dialogue===
Mrs. M: Well, I'm confused quite a bit by this lesson. My particular involvement with the Urantia Book is not, certainly, an easy thing, because I've chosen to be part of the organized church, and so I can't quite put it together with the fact that -- I thought I understood you to say, Tomas, that some people are going to capitalize on our good fortune of having the Book. But nobody that I know is, frankly, interested! Unfortunately!

Mrs. P: No, no.
Mrs. P: No, no.
===Closing===
TOMAS: I can see that my suggestion has dazzled you (group laughter), so I will take my quiet dusty pearl back with me to my own realms and leave you to your own realms for now but I will not go before conveying to you how much entertainment I receive from my position here with you in your community.

Blessed be art thou, my friends. Good evening.
