10/12/31 Son [
257] obtained the following regarding his
mother's condition in his own reading,
257-75:
49.
(Q) Advise me how to aid my mother to live many years
in health and happiness.
(A) Keep those suggestions, and aiding in bringing
about those things that prevent the worriment of those
conditions that cause this unrest or distress to the
body. These may be done best by the little courtesies
and considerations as may be shown in the various ways
and manners.
50.
(Q) Does body need Radium treatment for breast
condition?
(A) We do not find so. Too severe would be in the
present. The increase in the ash, with those of the
ultra-violet, taken properly, has stayed the conditions
- and is the best elements for staying same.
51.
(Q) To what should the dose be increased, or in what
manner?
(A) Heavier dose just before that of the treatment
given.
52.
(Q) Has condition of breast progressed to detriment
of body?
(A) It's always been a detriment, to be sure, but the
progress has been very slow, and only when there were
worriments, or the breaking down of tissue by the lack
of keeping the proper precautions, has there been
detrimental advancement of the condition.
53.
(Q) What will stop her cough?
(A) That that will remove the pressure. That will
remove the pressure by those treatments and those
active forces in the system as related to same, as has
been outlined for the body.
54.
(Q) What tonic is best for body?
(A) This has been given.
55.
(Q) Can the condition of the breast be permanently
stopped?
(A) This has been given so often, that these should
be open to those considering same. It is progressive
in its nature, as it is tumorous in its activity.
Unless there can be that which would destroy the tissue
itself - See?
56.
(Q) Should body travel at all?
(A) When it so desires, it may.
57.
(Q) Would a visit with [[
459], her daughter] be helpful?
(A) If it so chooses.
10/20/31 Mrs. [
325]'s letter: "I am up and out again, and
I want to thank you for your help. I had a very bad cold
and then by the time each one of my children brought in
their little bedtime story I got worn out, but I really
have been feeling better and stronger than I have felt
for past two years, since [
4159]'s tragedy. The readings
always help to straighten out my children as to their duties.
I have lovely children, God bless them, but one must learn
to know the strangers coming in the family and I have such
little strength to cope with all of them. But I am not going
to worry about them any more. God willing, I am going to try
and keep up my own strength. I think that I am the only one
who really understands your readings thoroughly, around here.
I wish we could discuss the work more together."
10/23/31 EC's letter to Mother [
325]: "Yours of the 20th
just to hand. It is such letters as yours, Mother [
325],
that just makes life worth while. With all the troubles
and trials, and disappointments that come, if we really know
or feel that we are being of some service to someone, then
it's worth carrying on. Without it, it isn't worth it -
isn't worth the struggle, I don't believe.
"Certainly glad to know you are feeling so much better, and
I hope you will continue to do so.
"What did you think of [
460]'s reading [460-4]? I wish
she had been present. I've always felt it would be better
if [
460] could be present and ask direct questions.
"Yes, I do wish we could talk over the situations and the
work in general. I know you have been the mainstay, and
I feel a great deal more than I have ever been able to
express to you, how much you have meant to me in carrying
on for others; for it IS for others, not for myself -
but if I can bring one little ray of hope, can assist in
some manner in relieving one hour of suffering, then it is
indeed worthwhile.
"No, you shouldn't ever allow things around you to worry you.
That's nice for all of us to say, and so few of us that can
help it! but you have a very wonderful family - they are all
different - they all have their own problems, yet I feel very
sure that the world will be better for them having lived in
it. If it isn't, we haven't done God's service. He will
hear us when we cry, but He wants to hear us also when we
praise.
"I don't know just when we will be there [N.Y.] possibly
some time in the next few days, possibly some weeks yet -
but there's been a discussion about it - no doubt [
257] will
tell you.
"Let us hear from you whenever you can. We are all fairly
well here. Physically, I think I'm enjoying better health
than I have EVER in my whole life since I can remember, and
I am glad and happy to be alive, so long as God may use me
to be of some service in some way to my fellow man.
"Remember me to all, and with love from all, I am ever the
same," [Edgar Cayce]
11/23/31 EC's letter: "We are home again, and after a few
days of the reaction [from the arrest in New York] that I
suppose generally comes from being under such a strain, we
are feeling fairly well except colds. My father has a very
bad cold, but is feeling some better this morning.
"Mother [
325], we just want to thank you for your kind words
and your moral support, and prayers - that were so helpful
and encouraging to us through the recent unpleasantness.
We recognize that persecutions came to the prophets of old.
Each and everyone had their sorrows or crosses to bear. We
hope that we may be able to show forth in our lives at all
times that it is God's love we are trying to manifest before
our fellow man. No exaltation of our own selves, but rather
His grace, His mercy, that endureth forever. May those who
have been misguided, misled, or who have wantonly tried to
turn public opinion against us in any way, have HIS mercies.
May the vengeance be in God's hands, not ours!
"I certainly am hoping that you are feeling real good. I
know that you rejoice with us that the case was dismissed
on the merits; though the press attempts to say it was on
a technicality, I hope we will be able to clarify this in
some way very soon.
"Let us hear from you. Know how we all appreciate you.
With love to you and yours, I am Always the same,"
[Edgar Cayce]
P.S. by GD "The elephant arrived safely and is now sitting
on Judge's desk. It certainly adds a bright touch of color
to our office. Please give my love to [
460] and [
563].
"Yesterday we had a reading on the work [254-60], and it
told us how we should proceed - that the trouble up there
should draw all of us closer together in oneness of purpose
for the common good of all. I'll send you a copy in a few
days. Much love, and thanks over and over again for all you
did for us while we were there - and for what you continually
do through your faith and confidence in us."
12/09/31 Letter: "My dear Judge, I hope that you will get
your charter written so that each part of your work will
be protected, for instance your enemies did not accomplish
their purpose this time; next time they might get an M.D.
to state that you were giving prescriptions without a
doctor or license. You would not get out of it so easily,
so be careful. [GD's note: See
254-89 given
1/13/36 in
re EC's arrest in Detroit in November 1935 for practicing
medicine without a license. This was after Mother [
325]
had died on
10/17/35.]
"I am very well as long as I take care of my health and some
day, which I hope to be soon, and I am all well, I will tell
just what the work of Edgar Cayce did for me, but when I tell
it, it will be truth, every word, so pray for my continued
good health, as we must have proof for all that we accomplish
on this earth. When I do the saying, all will take notice
and the doctors will be surprised and even you will, so I
hope and pray the time will be soon for your work and for
my health, but my health is not quite ready to talk about it
yet, but soon it will be. As I said to you here in New York,
if the work is with you and true, you won't have any
difficulty in proving it, and so it was, and so it is with
me. I hope to tell what the work did for me...
"I think the sixth question [in
254-60] was answered in
reading just as it is. Also Gladys' dream [Par. 14-A]
was only too true, as an explosion did happen and how.
It blew us all up in the air. Thanks to God no one was
hurt."
12/15/31 EC's letter: "We were indeed very glad to hear
from you. Yes, we were all glad to be home, and are
gradually getting over our sordid experience. Time alone
will wholly clarify such conditions for many. Just how or
why information concerning us should be so worthwhile to
newspapers, is a thing I haven't been able to quite figure
out. I know we are not noted people, but we are actually
hearing that little newspapers over the country are still
carrying articles that we are in jail - when for weeks we
have been home and trying to go on with our work. Somehow,
some way or another, it will all work out for the best.
"May the day soon come when you WILL be real well and strong.
Not that you may tell the world for us, but for your own
self, that 'whereas I was given a few days by one of the
best specialists, THROUGH the sources I was able to be made
well and strong, and know it is by His might'; for did He not
say, 'Who heals all thine afflictions?' and again, 'I will
lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my
salvation.'
"For a few days I have been quite ill myself. For a time it
appeared it would be rather serious, but I am glad to say
that I am up and feeling fairly well today. Praises to His
name!
"Yes, we must protect every phase of the Association's work,
and this we hope to be able to do just as fast as possible."
1/12/32 EC's letter: "Mother [
325], have you ever heard the
Goldberg's on the radio? It's an advertising feature of
Pepsodent, I believe. It is a mother having some trials
with her two young ones that she has brought up. Though
she is having a time getting her English straight, her
philosophy reminds me so often of you that I really enjoy
it every evening. I hope that if you do listen to it you
will strike one of the evenings when you will see just what
I mean."
1/28/32 "I have been over to see [Daughter [
459]] and she
is having quite a time getting herself established. I am
feeling as well as can be expected under the strain of
helping her. [Son [
257]] has been so terribly strained
himself and I feel so sorry for him, as he must begin all
over again. Well, as I pray every day for your success and
that someone will come in again and help you to solve your
problems, I was sitting and thinking of you and your work,
and saying I must write to the Judge and tell him to keep
himself in good humor so that the good forces will be with
him. That was on Friday. The telephone rang and I answered
it. [Son [
257]] was on the phone telling me that he was
taking a man down to the Beach that would mean something
to the work [Mr. [
437]], so I prayed again and am happy
to hear that he made you happy, so keep well and of good
cheer."
1/28/32 Son [
257]'s letter: "Judge, I am terribly worried
for mother. She touches her side every now and then and it
frightens me to death. Please see what can be suggested so
she'll not be forced to allow this condition to develop.
She has meant so much to you and we must keep her here to
enjoy with us the things she is making and has helped us
make. She never forgets you and I feel she is so necessary
as background to the work and to you. She seems to be able
to convince anyone of your honesty, sincerity and ability,
so I know as always you will do what you can."
