1. EC: Yes.

2. As we find in the present, conditions are such that any change in administrations in the immediate would be rather detrimental.

3. Rather, as is the experience of those who are anxious regarding the life, the mind, the body of their loved one, submit this to those that would join in supplication, in prayer for same; that what is in keeping with the will of the Divine may be accomplished in the present in the body.

4. For all healing must be of the Divine - that is aroused to activity even in materiality or matter, for that which is of the constructive force.

5. Then let those know, who are so anxious, that others care - and are joining in with them in this plea for mercy, for health, for that which may be in the wisdom of the Divine to accomplish in the present in these conditions with [1394].

6. This is that as may be accomplished as we find; strengthening those who wait, giving courage to those who doubt, bringing in the consciousness that as WILL aid.

7. When these conditions have come to the turning - that must come - know that this, under such a stress, is the better way in the present.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Any advice to those administering to the body? (A) Just as given. Hold fast to that which is good, and keep the faith in the Divine.

10. We are through with this Reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 7/23/37 GD’s note to the father: “No doubt you have been too busy and concerned to have time to write us about your son’s condition.

“It is very unusual to have purely spiritual advice given through one of Mr. Cayce’s Readings. Usually there is advised plenty of action materially.

“However, we have been hoping and praying that everything has been done in the best manner possible, and that - if it be the will of the Father - your son has been restored to you.

“Not having heard, we are wondering just what has taken place, and if it is possible that we might be of service through another Reading now. Please know that we will be only too glad to try.

“In any case, we would appreciate your writing and giving us the details. Know that we feel a personal interest, and that our great desire is to be of service wherever and whenever possible.

“With kind regards, and trusting to hear from you soon, I am”

Sincerely, [signed] Gladys Davis Sec’ty
