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 on Love, 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, and their work on the lesson Love. Ready for questions.
3. (Answer "Very good" to each paragraph, 1 through 40.)
4. (Q) Please give the affirmation for our next lesson, Opportunity. (A) IN SEEKING TO MAGNIFY THY NAME, THY GLORY, THROUGH THAT THOU DOST MAKE MANIFEST IN ME, O LORD, BE THOU THE GUIDE, AND - DAY BY DAY, AS THE OPPORTUNITY IS GIVEN - LET MY HANDS, MY MIND, MY BODY, DO THAT THOU WOULDST HAVE ME DO AS THINE OWN IN THE EARTH; FOR, AS I MANIFEST, MAY THY GLORY BECOME KNOWN TO THOSE THROUGH THE LOVE, THE PROMISES THOU HAST MADE IN THY SON.
5. (Q) What should be the basis and fundamental thoughts to be presented on this lesson? (A) First, as opportunity in making, in the life, that of filling each of the thoughts that are presented in the lessons that have been given, each in their respective place, time, and in a manner befitting those that call on His name.
6. (Q) What is meant by "the day of the Lord is near at hand"? [See 262-47, Par. 21-A.] (A) That as has been promised through the prophets and the sages of old, the time - and half time - has been and is being fulfilled in this day and generation, and that soon there will again appear in the earth that one through whom many will be called to meet those that are preparing the way for His day in the earth. The Lord, then, will come, "even as ye have seen him go".

7. (Q) How soon? (A) When those that are His have made the way clear, PASSABLE, for Him to come.
8. (Q) [303]: What is the significance of my dream about two weeks ago, in which Mr. Cayce was watching clouds come together, expecting something unusual - and when they met, crystals came down like fireworks? (A) This is a vision that will come to the body again, and with same will come an awakening as to the import of the vision.
9. (Q) Will you give us some outline upon which we may base the lesson? (A) First that as the material definition. Then the introduction in each of the lessons that have been presented, and how that the individuals in preparing themselves step by step through that presented in the lessons, and applying same in the life, may gain the knowledge and understanding in love.
10. (Q) Is there a message for the group as a whole at this time? (A) So let thine own light shine in such a manner as may hasten the day of the Lord.
11. We are through.
