Dear Miss [
1747]
Glad to have yours of the 30th - had been thinking of you,
wondering how you were and if you had gotten all settled in
the work that you liked and all.
Now for your questions - am sending you some data (two
booklets) on page 18 your questions are all answered.
However as you doubtless know this is not a hard and fast
rule. No one who really desires a reading - especially one
who has already had a reading is denied one because of money.
Not that the treasury of the Ass'n is flushed, in fact it is
usually more than empty. But this work is never a matter of
money - only wish that I never had to mention price for
anything for such as this work - if it be what we think it is
- should never have to be quibbled about money. And whether
there is pay or not the real seeker gets reading when it is
desired. And whenever an individual has had a reading and
wishes to check-up, they should never question as to whether
they have to pay or not - for they will when they have it
contribute to same.
"If the work is right it will succeed - if it isn't it has no
right to succeed" is how the information has put it since the
beginning. The Trustees have set the rules as suggested in
booklet as what they feel would be right, according to needs
of the Assn.
A book that I would especially recommend for your S.S.
Teacher is Carrel's "Man the Unknown". If she hasn't read
this it will give her the background for real though along
spiritual lines. And he helpful am sure. If poetry alone -
anything by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is good.
The book you heard Miss Wynne speak of [A SEARCH FOR GOD] has
not as yet been published, it is still in the making - this
is a compiled study of "Soul development" and is taken almost
entirely from readings and individual application of
suggestions made in same.
The Bible Study lessons, is from another group entirely,
[EC's Tuesday Night Bible Group Minutes] these are in the
making and is like this: two years ago next January some 4
or 5 people asked me if I would read the Bible with them each
week chapter by chapter and verse by verse so we began, from
the first notes were taken and written up each week, the
interest has continued to grow, until now there are each week
some 25 to 30 present at each Tuesday night meeting and there
are some 15 or more leaflets with the written report sent out
each week to those interested who are not able to be present
at the meetings - and include people in - Minn., Ohio.,
Penn., N.Y., Tenn., Ala., Fla., W.Va., Ky., Tex. and Cal.
Maybe others that I do not know of, these are not from
readings but to be sure are shaded from the interpretation
the readings have given to the word its self. You might find
these very interesting - but if you do take these up be sure
and get the first lessons or leaflets, for the basis of the
whole Book from this standpoint is expressed mostly from the
1st three chapters of Genesis. [GD's note: See Bible
Minutes, BOOK OF GENESIS, published May 1945 - now out of
print - see Library Copy.]
Hope have explained these so as to give you the idea - if any
other questions Miss [
1747], please don't hesitate to ask, am
not very good at making some things plain, when they are so
much a part of me, as it makes me forget the other person
doesn't see from just my view point.
Mighty glad to hear from you, hope you are well and those
about you. We just got home from three weeks trip to N.Y. -
expected to be away only two but stayed three. Very nice
trip met many of old friends and hope made a few new ones.
Thanks again, and with all good wishes [signed] Edgar Cayce

..., Ohio
Dear Mr. Cayce,
May I say Thank you for your kind thought of me.
Yet as I read it [
282-59 Xmas message to all A.R.E. members]
I felt as if you were wondering about me. Wondering just
what was in my heart.
Maybe that was only my own subconscious. For I wonder often
and I am often confused as to what to do.
I pray often that I might understand and have the courage,
faith, love and strength to do as He would have me do.
Would you pray also that I might become one of His own.
May I say again that my trip to Virginia Beach was one that I
will never forget and as the time flys way I hold each moment
closer to my heart. [

Dear Miss [
1747]
Thank you for yours of the 2nd, appreciate your thought of
me. We often think of and speak of you here, and what a
wonderful example you are of what all members of the Ass'n
should be, and we all thank you for the example.
Am sure you are being guided right - just keep to that Faith
as is found in HIM. And as He walks and talks with you from
day to day, am sure you will be guided in the right pathway.
You may be sure will be happy to Pray with and for you. We
have a prayer group, as has regular hours for meditation and
prayer - would you like to be a member of that. Would be
glad to have you if you would care to join with us am sure
have accomplished much here and there - much that seems
almost unbelievable yet, am sure has brought much to those
who have been close to same. Will send you the data on same
if you like and will be glad to have you on our list.
Am happy indeed to hear you say you got so much from the
meeting last year several others speak like that also, while
feel very humble still very happy about it - but all Praise
to HIM.
Thanking you again and for the many you have spoken to about
the work here. It is members like yourself we need to
spread the word of the good we may find in closer communion
with HIM.
With love from all here
Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
6/20/42 Miss [
1747] obtained a Mental-Spiritual Reading -
See
1747-5.
4/14/52 [
1747]'s 3rd physical reading:
This condition cleared and was better. This year I had a
return of the same. But is better now.
I have always had trouble with my eliminations. And do have
such lumps as he speaks of at times.
Verbal report: I followed just as it was outlined. As in
the previous cases, I got very good results from following
the suggestions in the reading. I found living with others,
that it was not so easy to follow the suggested diet - but
other than this I followed my reading to the letter.
