This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Edmonds'
      home on Pennsylvania Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia, this 16th day
      of April, 1933, in accordance with request made by those
      present.

      P R E S E N T

      Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.
      Esther Wynne, Florence and Edith Edmonds, Frances Y. Morrow,
      Hugh Lynn Cayce, Mildred Davis, Helen Storey, Ruth LeNoir,
      and Alf Butler (visitor).

      R E A D I N G

      Time of Reading                         Pennsylvania Ave.,
      4:10 to 4:25 P. M.                      Norfolk, Virginia.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #1,
      members of which are present in this room; also a copy of the
      Lesson, The Lord Thy God Is One, which I hold in my hand.
      You will go over this lesson as I call each paragraph, making
      such suggestions for change or additions that would more
      completely express the truth we are trying to convey.  You
      will answer the questions which will be asked.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as gathered here, as a group, as
      individuals.  Also the work, the lesson that has been
      prepared by members of the group.

   3. Ready for questions.

      (Answer "Very good" to each par., from 1 through 32.)

   4. (Q)  Please give us the affirmation for the lesson on "Love."
      (A)  OUR FATHER, THROUGH THE LOVE THAT THOU HAST MANIFESTED
      IN THE WORLD THROUGH THY SON, THE CHRIST, MAKE US MORE AWARE
      OF "GOD IS LOVE".

      In the preparation, then, for the study of self that each has
      manifested in their lives, through the varied experiences
      that have been theirs in the preparation of the lessons,
      there has been brought to each a better concept of the
      Father, of the Son, and of why He, the Son, came into the
      earth that we as sons of God might have the access to the
      throne of mercy, grace, peace and pardon through the Son; and
      through His life in the experiences of each manifesting
      these in our own lives.

      For, he that would expect mercy must show mercy to his fellow
      man; he that would find peace and harmony in the love of God
      must show love, peace, harmony, with his fellow man.

      And, as each individual has had its own problems, its own

      experiences, in reaching this understanding in the study and
      preparation of self in giving truth, light, the words of life
      even, for others, so may each in the preparation of this
      present lesson find love that passeth understanding; peace,
      as He gives peace; love, as He gave love.

      For, if each will prepare themselves they may in THIS lesson
      find Him as a brother that would speak with them.

      For, His promises are sure; even as He gave, "I will not
      leave thee comfortless, but will come to you."

      "If ye love me, KEEP my commandments - that I may abide with
      you," and through YOU shed abroad the light, the Love of God,
      unto the sons of men!

   5. We are through.

      R E A D I N G

      Time of Reading
      4:30 to 5:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #l,
      members of which are present in this room.  You will please
      give at this time that which will aid them in preparing the
      lesson on LOVE.  You will answer the questions which will be
      asked by the group and by individuals.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as a group; and those of that
      group as gathered here, and their work in preparing the
      lesson on LOVE.

   3. In the preparation, as given, they each have prepared
      themselves in this or that way and manner.

   4. They each have become expectant for that which may be in
      their own consciousness to become aware of, that that may
      make manifest in their experience more as respecting Him who
      was love made manifest in the earth.

   5. In this preparation, here, there, those that have attempted
      oft the harder have fallen short of that as should be
      accomplished in their experience.

   6. The first lesson that each must learn:  Love is the giving
      out of that within self.

   7. Then, where slights, slurs, or even suspicions, have been
      allowed to enter in as respecting the fellow man, there
      cannot be all of what love should be, should mean, in the
      experience of such an one.

   8. For, "He so loved the world as to give His own son."  And it
      has been asked of everyone, "Love me, keep my commandments,
      that I may abide in thee even as I abide in the Father."

   9. All believe, yes; all know, yes; all understand that those

      things that hinder each and every soul are only self-
      centeredness, selfishness in self, that present even the dawn
      of that concept of what love means in their experience.

  10. All see in various activities in the earth that of maternal
      love, that of love in friendship, that of love for an ideal,
      for self, for the varied experiences that are seen in
      everyone's experience.

  11. Yet, to know the whole truth that makes one free indeed; that
      love that prevents slurs, slights, unkind remarks, falterings
      here, disappointments there - in things, in people, in
      conditions; to not shake faith, the foundation of manifesting
      in the material experience; few have found this.

  12. Has anyone in the group, then, wholly prepared self?

  13. For, in His presence has anyone opened the door and been
      satisfied, or not even dismayed at times, at that seen within
      self?

  14. Has He entered with thee in thy daily conversation one with
      another?

  15. Purpose, yes; aims high, desires mounting; yet that of self
      not left in the background, rather taking the place - even as
      he when he answered as to who the Son of man was, when there
      was the presentation of that that must suffer in body, in the
      mental mind, was needed to be upbraided for that, that such
      things must not be when God himself walked in the earth.  Yet
      love, as HE gave, was able even then to say, "Get thee from
      me, for thou savorest rather the things that be of the earth
      than the things of life."

  16. Then, come ye, my children!  Harken unto that thou hast
      attained in thine self, that ye may put on the whole armor
      and be fruitful in the love of Him that calls that EVERYONE
      should hear, should know, should understand, that God is in
      His heavens and that His love endureth even to those who
      harden their hearts - and wills that no one should perish;
      rather that in the love as may be manifested in the daily
      walks, the daily activities of every soul, each may show
      through that manifested the love which impels the giving of
      everything within self as a manifestation of He, the Master,
      having spoken with thee!

  17. Faint not.  Be not overcome.  Be not impatient with thine
      brother, with thine neighbor, and - most of all - with thine
      self.

  18. For, as given, "In patience possess ye your souls" that may
      know Him as thine elder brother, who is at the right hand of
      God to make intercession for you day by day; and who calls

      unto all that will harken, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the
      least of these, my brethren, ye do it unto me."

  19. As we show forth, then, in our speech, in our actions day by
      day, do we make manifest that which will make for the
      awareness within our own consciousness of the love, that
      love, His love, that passeth all understanding in man's life
      - as man; yet is a practical, personal love that makes for
      joy in the services that one may render, even in toil, in
      pain, in misunderstandings that shape the activities of the
      lives of so many that would walk with Him!

  20. In the deed, in the act, do we see that promised come to
      each, that "I will come and abide with thee - If ye love me,
      keep my commandments."  For, these are neither grievous nor
      hard to bear when self is not sought to be exalted in the day
      or in the hour.

  21. But, "Ye that have known me knoweth my Father also, for I am
      in Him, and ye in me may know that love that maketh the life
      burn as an ember in a darkened and unregenerated world.  For
      unto me must come all that would find the way.  I AM the way.
      Ye are my brethren.  Ye have been begotten in the flesh
      through the love made manifest in the earth."

  22. Then, in the spirit and in the mind that hast brought thee to
      that understanding and consciousness of His love made
      manifest, abide ye day by day.

  23. We are through.

      home on Pennsylvania Ave., Norfolk, Va., this 14th day of
      May, 1933, in accordance with request made by those present.

      P R E S E N T

      Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.
      Minnie Barrett, Ruth LeNoir, Edith Edmonds, Esther Wynne,
      Florence Edmonds, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Frances Y. Morrow, C. A.

      R E A D I N G

      Time of Reading
      4:15 to 4:45 P. M.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #1,
      members of which are present in this room and their work on
      the lesson Love.  You will answer the questions which will be
      asked by members and the group as a whole.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as gathered here, as a group and
      as individuals - and their work in preparation of the lesson
      Love.

   3. Each may find in this that which is being sought by each, in
      the study of the lesson and that which each seeks to manifest
      in the lesson.  As each goes forth to make manifest, each may
      find that sought.

   4. The first, in that expressed in a baby's smile; in the hope,
      the light, the seeking, the manifestation of that which is
      love undefiled.

   5. The next may see it in the rose, as it seeks - with that it
      has to do with - to make manifest that beauty in expression
      that may GLORIFY its Maker.

   6. The next may find it in friendship, in that which speaks
      without thought of self, that which makes for the expressions
      of love GLORIFIED through the friendliness that comes with
      friendship.

   7. The next may find it in that as reasons for the beauty of a
      song, in the harmony that shows forth in the expression of
      the soul within; whether in instruments or the soul raised in
      praise to the Giver of light.

   8. The next may find it in the expressions of the duty that may
      be the lot of one that, without thought of self, shows forth
      in the acts of life that first thought of the duty from a
      material standpoint, yet the LOVE made manifest from wholly
      showing forth His life, His love, till He come again!

   9. The next may find it in the manner of speech under the varied
      circumstances that arise in the experience of all, through
      that association which comes in the daily walks of life, and
      in the encouragement that may be given through the kind word
      spoken; the giving of the cup of water to anyone seeking, to
      those that thirst.  This may show to such an one the love
      that is manifest in "God Is love."

  10. The next may find it in whatever the hands find to do, that
      done well, in all phases of one's experience, that lends self
      in the daily walks of life, doing the best with that which
      presents itself, in the glorying of the expressions, "As ye
      do it unto the least of these, my little ones, ye do it unto
      me."

  11. The next will find it in the glory that comes in the
      satisfaction of a contented heart, in knowing that each day
      has brought an opportunity that has been taken advantage of
      by self in showing the kindness here, going out of the way in
      self's own life to make the lot of a neighbor more joyous,
      brighter, in the activities of the daily life.

  12. The next may find it in looking forward to those days that
      may come, for the filling of those places that may be made or
      given in the lives spent in the service of Him who may call
      that thy face be that which may bring the knowledge of thine
      life, thine heart, spent in His service day by day.

  13. Ready for questions.

  14. (Q)  Please give a definition on At-one-ment.
      (A)  At-onement may be given even as atonement.  At-onement,
      then, is making self's will one with the Creative Forces that
      may become the impelling influence in thought, in mind, that
      is the builder to every act of a physical, mental or material
      body.

      Then, in making at-onement, the will of an entity, an
      individual, is made one with the Creative influences in the
      experience.

  15. (Q)  On "the BLOOD of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin."
      (A)  As given, without the shedding of blood there was no
      remission of sin.  As given in the beginning of man's concept
      of making atonement for the wrongs done self in relationship
      to the Creative Forces.

      For, the error that man makes is the more oft against himself
      than making for the breaking of law as related to divine
      influence in the experience.  For, love is law - law is love,
      in its essence.  And with the breaking of the law is the
      making of the necessity for atonement and forgiveness, in
      that which may take away error to or what has been brought in

      the experience of the individual.

      Hence the shedding of the blood in the MAN Jesus made for the
      atoning for ALL men, through making Himself in at-onement
      with the law and with love.  For, through LOVE was brought
      the desire to make self and His brother in at-onement.  Hence
      in the atoning or shedding of the blood comes the redemption
      to man, through that which may make for HIS - man's -
      at-onement with Him.

  16. (Q)  Is there any advice on the paper, Present World
      Conditions, which we have sent to Dallas, Texas?  [3976-11,
      Par. R1.]
      (A)  This should be re-sent to that of Holland's, in Dallas,
      Texas.

  17. (Q)  Please give us an individual message on Love for each
      member of the group, calling the name of each as the message
      is given.
      (A)  To each has been given that which it may apply in the
      individual personality and individuality of its experience.

  18. (Q)  Were the messages for each to choose?
      (A)  Each knows self better than you may tell 'em!

  19. (Q)  There were two more present than messages were given.
      (A)  They didn't ask!

  20. (Q)  Any message for the group as a whole?
      (A)  Seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened
      unto you.

      Study in the lessons that He gave, as He presented Himself in
      the expectant way in the entry before the crowning of the
      glory that He had before the world was, that there is in each
      experience that even as He gave.  If the life is so lived
      that it makes manifest His love, the very rocks and stones
      will cry out in praise should man keep his mouth.

      Yet these lessons will bring in the experience of all that
      which is sought, in showing forth the love as He gave - even
      in that, "Though one may possess all things and have not
      love, his life is nothing."

  21. We are through.

T0262-046 * [Pg 1]

      This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the Edmonds'
      home on Pennsylvania Ave., Norfolk, Va., this 28th day of
      May, 1933, requested by those present.

      P R E S E N T

      Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.
      Minnie & C. A. Barrett, Esther Wynne, Florence & Edith
      Edmonds, Frances Y. Morrow, Hugh Lynn Cayce, Mildred Davis &
      Ruth LeNoir.

      R E A D I N G

      Time of Reading
      4:25 to 5:10 P. M.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #1,
      members of which are present in this room; also their work on
      the lesson Love.  We present a copy of the preparation so
      far, a copy of which I hold in my hand, and seek guidance in
      completing this lesson.  You will answer the questions that
      may be asked.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as gathered here, as a group and
      as individuals; also their work and that presented on the
      lesson Love.  Much of that is good.

   3. Rather than presenting so many illustrations of that which
      may be termed as applied by seeing in others, or things, the
      expressions or manifestations, present more of that which may
      come from within.

   4. Give as this in the experience, that each may find within
      self the truth, the love, the life.  Life is, in all its
      manifestations in every animate force, creative force
      in action; and is the love of expression - or expressing that
      life; truth becoming a result of life's love expressed.  For,
      these are but names - unless experienced in the consciousness
      of each soul.

   5. Then, commune the more often in the inner shrine, in the holy
      of holies.  Meet the presence of the Father there; KNOW the
      love of the Christ in action; experience and see truth and
      the Holy Spirit in the results that come from such
      consecration of the ideals of self.

   6. For, each may have the experience of speaking with Him
      through such a consecration; for His promises are true, "I
      will not leave thee comfortless, but will come and abide with
      thee."

   7. In such experiences in self, then, may there be added to the
      lesson on Love that which will awaken in the hearts, the

      souls, the minds of others that desire to know HIS ways
      better.

   8. Each has been chosen as a channel, and each in its own way -
      and not alone of self, but manifesting life through love will
      bring the Spirit's reaction in the daily experiences of every
      soul.  For, they are one - ALL believe, all have heard.
      Then, let them that have eyes see, and ears hear, what the
      Spirit saith unto them in such meditation in the INNER self.

   9. For, from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh; and
      the love of the Father through the Son constraineth all, if
      each will be less selfish, less self-centered, more desirous
      of showing forth HIS love, His abundant mercy, His peace, His
      harmony, that comes from being quiet in the Lord, being
      joyous in service, being happy in whatsoever state ye find
      self; knowing that he whom the Lord loveth him doth He call
      into service, if each soul will but seek to know HIS way
      rather than "my way or thy way."  Let thy yeas be yea in the
      Lord.  Let thine understanding take hold on the things of the
      spirit, for they are alone eternal.

  10. For, the children of light are called - even now - into
      service, that His day may be hastened, lest many faint.

  11. Ready for questions.

  12. (Q)  Please give a definition for, "God so loved the world as
      to give has only begotten son."
      (A)  A beautiful lesson has just been given, and definition.
      This may suit those seeking this the better.

      God, the Father, the first cause, seeking - in the
      manifestations of self - brought the world, as we (as
      individuals) observe it about us, into being - THROUGH love;
      giving to man, His creation, His creatures, that ability to
      become one with Him.  That son WE have called the Son of man,
      the Christ Spirit, the love made manifest in bringing the
      creature into material being in a plane we have called earth.
      That son was shown, then, the way, through the love of the
      Father, and He made manifest that love in giving His earthly,
      material life for a cause, an ensample, a mediation, a
      contact with the Father, a mediator for man.  Hence in love,
      through love, God IS love, in the Christ Consciousness, the
      Christ Spirit; the Son of man made same manifest in all the
      experiences through the earth.  Hence, as given by the
      beloved disciple, "God so loved the world as to give His only
      begotten son, "that we, THROUGH Him, might have life - God -
      more abundant.  He, though He were the Son, learned obedience
      through the things which He suffered.  He that climbs up any
      other way than accepting those things that are to be met day
      by day, even as He, seeks through some other channel.  The
      servant may never be greater than the master.  He has given

      that we may be equal and one with Him, yet through Him, His
      manifestations, in Him, we live in the earth, we move and
      have our being.

  13. (Q)  What is meant by the children of light, as just given?
      (A)  They that choose to be guided by His will and do not,
      through themselves, attempt to manifest self rather than the
      will of the Father.

      In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.  He
      said, Let there be LIGHT - and there was light.  Like begets
      like.  It IS both cause and effect, and they that choose some
      other way become the children of darkness; and they are
      these:  Envying, strife, hate; and the children of these are
      sedition, rebellion, and the like.

      The children of light first love, for "Though I may have the
      gift of prophecy, though I may speak in unknown tongues,
      though I give my body to be burned and have not the spirit of
      the Son of man, the Christ Consciousness, the Christ Spirit,
      I am nothing."  For, the children of light KNOW Him; He
      calleth each by name.

  14. (Q)  [404] and [462]: Please give us a message in regard to
      our experiences.
      (A)  Be ye patient in well doing.  Count not the time long,
      for in so doing ye give the forces of doubt a place in thine
      own experience; and he that doubteth, or looketh back, is
      worse than an infidel.  For, unto thee has come much, in joy,
      much in peace; and the little discouragements that make for
      faltering, if the heart will be kept singing, will make for
      the brighter joys, the greater appreciations, and the glories
      of the Son may be made the brighter in thy experience.  For,
      live each day as if ye were to meet Him the next; in that
      expectancy, in that glory, and let not those things that
      would hinder have a place in thy consciousness.  Thus do HIS
      children, His brethren, manifest that faith that removes
      mountains.

  15. (Q)  [69]:  When may I expect the promise given me to be
      fulfilled?
      (A)  In waiting, in being overanxious, oft does one delay the
      appearing.  Open rather thine self, and know that He will
      speak with thee.  "Be not afraid, it is I."  Then, when self
      is open, there will come - not one, but many - such
      experiences.

  16. (Q)  How may I open self more than I am doing?
      (A)  By entering more into the holy of holies, into the inner
      self.

  17. (Q)  [295]:  May I have a message on the lesson?
      (A)  In self may there be manifested that love, even as He

      showed in thee, in the experiences in the ministering with
      and for Him; and the promises that were made thee ARE true,
      if self will be kept in that way in which that spirit of
      love, of faith, of hope, of charity, may be kept in His way.
      "If ye love me, keep my commandments" is ever the call of
      Him.

  18. (Q)  [993]:  Why do records entities are making come
      constantly to me, and a desire to know more about them?
      (A)  As has been given thee, there were those experiences
      in which those that consecrated and set themselves as
      individual souls to accomplish definite conditions in the
      experiences and the affairs of the sons of men, were the
      records kept by self.  Then, this experience of seeing,
      feeling - visioning, even, at times - the records made by
      entities, by groups, is just a portion of self's development
      towards those marks of higher calling as may be set only in
      Him.  For, through the glorying in Him, and not in self, do
      we become conscious of that He would accomplish THROUGH us.
      So keep, even as was said of her of old, "She pondered these
      and kept them in her heart," knowing that there would be
      revealed - even as they may be put to service for others -
      that as each soul may need for the stimulation of ITS soul in
      a broader, better service in His name.  For, there be no
      other name given under heaven whereby men be saved.

  19. (Q)  Please explain what was meant in the Life Reading given
      [329] that he would be offered work on the 15th of May?
      (A)  The way was opened; and ye may assist him in
      understanding what is to be done in the material and mental
      self, for the carrying on is to only give the understanding
      in the relationships to time, space, condition, relations,
      and individuals.

  20. (Q)  Any message for the group as a whole at this time?
      (A)  Take that as has been given, that ye - each soul - enter
      into the quietness of self and seek to know His bidding with
      thee at this time.  For, as it has been given, there is a
      cause - a purpose - for which the group was called, and
      enjoined, that each study to show self approved unto Him,
      avoiding the appearances of evil, RIGHTLY dividing the words
      of truth, life, light, and love; and by thy conversations, by
      thy deeds day by day, make manifest that love He has given,
      He has shown, in the earth.

  21. We are through.

      Time of Reading
      4:35 to 5:05 P. M.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #1,
      members of which are present in this room, and their work on
      the lesson Love.  You will give to each member of the group,
      as I call the names, a personal message which will aid in
      their own experience.  You will then answer the general
      questions which I will ask.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as gathered here, as a group and
      as individuals; and their work on the lesson Love.

   3. In the preparation, as we have given, each must so examine
      self that there be that in the heart, the soul of each, that
      each would present as a manifestation of that each would have
      Him present in the relationships with self.

   4. For, as each seeks in its own way, there is given that which
      will enable each to gain a better concept of the Christ
      Consciousness in activity.

   5. Ready for questions.

   6. (Q)  [379]:
      (A)  In thine own experience comes the answer to that which
      shows forth the love which is manifested in those that seek
      to know His way.  Be not weary in well-doing.

   7. (Q)  [295]:
      (A)  Seek to show forth that which has been given, in that
      there may be presented through the activities of self that
      glory in Him.  For, as much may be forgiven as there is love
      shown.  Keep that as He gave, that all present themselves in
      that way which keepeth in the light.

   8. (Q)  [585]:
      (A)  In the presenting of that which is found in self's own
      experience, study to show self approved unto Him.  For, as
      given, he that seeketh to know He will in no wise cast out.

      For, love exalteth.  Love manifested in the daily life, then,
      gives more and more those expressions of His grace in a
      material world.

   9. (Q)  [413]:
      (A)  In showing forth that which is manifest in thine
      experience, let the love that was manifested in forgiveness
      be in thee, that there be no envy, no strife, no knowledge of
      other than good works through the activities of self.  For,
      in glorying in the knowledge of the Father comes more and
      more the manifestations of the Spirit of the Christ.
      "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, my little
      ones, ye do it unto me."

  10. (Q)  [307]:
      (A)  In the power of the name is there glory and love shown
      to all those who seek to know, to do His biddings.  For, unto
      him that is faithful in the few things is there given the
      ruling of many.  Then, keep the way that thou hast set before
      thee; knowing that His presence abides ever.

  11. (Q)  [303]:
      (A)  In the presenting of self's love for the ways He would
      have thee go, look not back upon that which would make
      afraid; for they who turn their faces to the light show forth
      in their speech, their actions, their lives, that love even
      as He has given, "If ye love me keep my commandments."  For,
      they are not grievous to those that seek to know His way.

  12. (Q)  [294]:
      (A)  Study to show self approved unto Him, rightly dividing
      the words of truth, avoiding the appearance of evil, that thy
      love, thy goodness, be not evil spoken of.  Glory in the
      Lord, in His promises, day by day, that in thee, through
      thee, may come many that call Him blessed.

  13. (Q)  [538]:
      (A)  "Let not thine heart be troubled; ye believe in God,
      believe also in me," knowing that unto every good work is the
      love of the Father shown through the Son to those that would
      bless His holy name.  Not in envy, not in strife; rather in
      the little kindnesses, even in the ways that present them-
      selves in every manner, whether in the home, in the street,
      in the associations one with another.  Keep thy paths clear.

  14. (Q)  [560]:
      (A)  In thine presentation of the love as manifested through
      those that would know His way, seek from the inner self to
      know that He would have thee do; for in the promises in Him
      does the love of the Father made manifest through Him become
      expressive in the acts of the mind, the body, the ways.  For,
      His ways are not past finding out; neither are they hard to
      those that would show forth His love till He come again.

      For, He will not tarry, if those that love Him will but
      manifest His love in the earth.

  15. (Q)  [993]:
      (A)  That that is set before thee in measuring the ways that
      He would have thee go; for, as the love of the Father was
      shown in the life of the Master, so may His love in thee be
      shown in the hearts, the minds, the souls, of those whom ye
      contact day by day.  For, unto him to whom much is given much
      is required; yet who would turn back that they may not press
      on to the ways that His love passes all understanding and is
      shown forth in the life day by day?

  16. (Q)  [69]:
      (A)  As thy ways are His ways, glory in the love that is shed
      on thee.  Pass it on.  For, in giving does one receive that
      glory that He gave; so did the glory of the Father shine on
      the earth.  Even though there be trials, disappointments, His
      love enables all to know, to understand, to comprehend, that
      He would have each do day by day, here a little, there a
      little.

  17. (Q)  [[69]'s husband]:
      (A)  In thy daily walks let His light so shine in thine own
      self that those ye contact may know that the love of the
      Father is being shown in thy daily conversation, thy daily
      activities.  For, as He gave, he that would show forth the
      love of the Father will keep His ways day by day.  For,
      glorying in self is as the activities of self-exaltation, but
      glorying in the Father, in the Son, is showing forth that He
      bids thee do day by day.  What, then, are His biddings?
      "Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, thine soul, and
      thy neighbor as thyself!"

  18. (Q)  [341]:
      (A)  In showing forth the love that He manifested, study thy
      ways, thy going in, thy coming out.  Know that, he that seeks
      shall find; to him that knocketh will He open the door, and -
      as He has given - "My ways are not thy ways" unless ye keep
      the way of the Lord.  In thy glorying, let self be as naught;
      that His glory may be manifested in thy acts day by day.

  19. (Q)  [288]:
      (A)  In showing forth His love, know "As ye would that men
      should do to you, do ye even so to them."  For, as self
      manifests to thy brother, so is the Father glorified in thee.
      The manifestation in any act is the reflection of that
      purpose in the heart.  Keep the heart clean.  Keep the
      purposes in Him; for He is the way and the light.

  20. (Q)  [404]:
      (A)  Glory in the Lord, that the ways that He would guide are
      the ways in which the soul may know Him better.  In the love

      of the father he gave the Son.  In the love that self would
      show, in keeping His ways day by day.  For, His ways are not
      grievous; nor are thy hid from any that would seek to know
      His face.

  21. (Q)  [462]:
      (A)  In manifesting that love as He has shown, just be kind
      one to another; not in vainglorying, not in hardness of
      heart.  Rather in the little things that bespeak of a mind
      that oft speaks with Him.  Not in that which would make for
      vainglory, but rather that takes hold on the things that are
      oft despised of men yet shows forth the love of the Father
      for His children.  For, as the father pitieth the children,
      so does the heavenly Father have mercy on those that would
      glory in Him.

      COME YE, MY CHILDREN, IN THAT YE HAVE ALL BEEN CALLED UNTO
      THAT WAY WHICH WOULD SHOW FORTH TO THY NEIGHBOR, THY
      BRETHREN, THAT THE FATHER LOVETH HIS CHILDREN.  WHO ARE HIS
      CHILDREN?  THEY THAT KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS DAY BY DAY.  FOR,
      UNTO HIM THAT IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE IS GIVEN THE CROWN OF
      LIFE.  THE HARVEST IS RIPE, THE LABORERS ARE FEW.  BE NOT
      WEARY BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN THAT WHICH HAS SEEMED TO TROUBLE
      THEE, FOR THE WAYS ARE BEING OPENED TO THOSE THAT SHOW
      THEMSELVES FAITHFUL AND TRUE.  FAINT NOT, FOR THE DAY OF THE
      LORD IS NEAR AT HAND.  [GD's note:  Was this a message from
      the archangel Michael?  It sounded like it.  Thus it is being
      indexed under ANGELS AND ARCHANGELS, to be considered along
      with the rest.  See 262-49, Par. 5-A.]

  22. We are through.

      Time of Reading
      4:10 to 4:30 P. M.

   1. GC:  You will have before you the Norfolk Study Group #1,
      members of which are present in this room, and their work on
      the lesson Love.  You will give that which they need at this
      time to enable them to complete their work on this lesson.
      You will answer the questions which will be asked.

   2. EC:  Yes, we have the group as gathered here, as a group, as
      individuals, and their work on the lessons, their work on the
      lesson Love.

   3. There needs be only that compiled that is contributed by the
      members, in such a way and manner that may be made practical
      in the experience of those who study and apply same in their
      experience.

   4. In the completing of same, there should be those
      contributions from all who will of themselves contribute to
      same.

   5. In considering same, then, that there has come the completion
      of those lessons that may form the basis of study by those
      who are interested in seeking truth, that may be applicable
      in their experience, now those that are called realize that
      in the greater part that compiled is as but knowledge UNLESS
      applied in their daily lives.

   6. Then, begin with that study, that application of that which
      has been gathered here, and with same begin with the
      compilation of that which may be the parallel with the truth
      as given.

   7. Hence, the next lesson, the next application of self in the
      group, would be upon Opportunity; the next on Day and Night;
      the next on God, the Father and His Manifestations in the
      Earth.

   8. Then, these - as will be seen - may become more of living

      truths, as each of the group applies self in its daily
      experience to that which has been set.

   9. Ready for questions.

  10. (Q)  Is there any advice to the compilers in regard to the
      paper, Present World Conditions, which has been returned from
      Dallas, Texas?  [3976-11, Par. R1.]
      (A)  We would edit same to the present conditions and then
      present to Collier's.

  11. (Q)  Should that editing be done on the basis of another
      reading?
      (A)  This has been asked for by the compilers.  Let the
      compilers seek that as may be necessary to meet conditions.

  12. (Q)  What was the significance of the group being called to
      the home of Miss [993] on the morning of June 15th by Mrs.
      [585]?
      (A)  The activity of influences in the experience of the one
      calling same.

  13. (Q)  Was it a good influence?
      (A)  "By their fruits ye shall know them."  [See 585-2,
      Par. 40-A.]

  14. (Q)  Any message to the group as a whole at this time?
      (A)  (Long pause)

  15. GC:  If there is no message, that is all the questions.
      (Gave suggestion to wake up)

      [Note:  See why no answer to last question, Work reading
      9/7/33 - 254-67, Par. 4-A.]
