99. QUESTION: Concerning consultation.

ANSWER: If consultation among the first group of people assembled endeth

in disagreement, new people should be added, after which persons to the

number of the Greatest Name, or fewer or more, shall be chosen by lot.

Whereupon the consultation shall be renewed, and the outcome, whatever it

is, shall be obeyed. If, however, there is still disagreement, the same

procedure should be repeated once more, and the decision of the majority

shall prevail. He, verily, guideth whomsoever He pleaseth to the right

way.
