TEXT

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 9/07/33 - 254-67, Par. 4-A.]
