Time of Reading 11:00 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time.
1. GC: You will have before you the enquiring minds, the purposes of all those who have signified their desire to join Edgar Cayce a few minutes each day in prayer for divine guidance. You will advise these individuals what their attitude should be in the present world turmoil and how they should proceed in order to be of the greater service, as a group and as individuals. You will also advise the best time for meditation and the affirmation or prayer that should be used.
2. EC: Let all those who have signified their willingness to look to God for guidance know that God has remembered them. That they are conscious of being alive, with the abilities to hate and love, should indicate this to them.
3. Let each individual know that it came into life with a purpose from God. Let each individual know that it is as a harp upon which the breath of God would play.
4. While all may not be as prophets or as preachers, neither may all stand in the halls of learning as directors of men, know that you each have your part to do.
5. That God hath so willed that man should be free to choose should indicate for each individual his relationship to God, that may only be manifested in the manner the individual treats his fellow man.
6. All are aware that selfishness causes many to be downtrodden, living in hovels; that greed, as is being manifested, would make slaves of thy fellow man. Yet each individual as an individual, and as a group, may fulfill those words, "He stood between the living and the dead and the plague was stayed."
7. Thus each individual is alive unto God or dead unto self.
8. As to the periods - as near as practical, let there be unison of purpose. Early in the morning call unto thy God, and in the evening forget not His love nor His benefits.

9. Then, at that period when ye each are first aware, as ye awake, be STILL a moment and know that the Lord is God. Ask that ye be guided, THIS day, to so live that ye may stand between the living and the dead.
10. In the evening as ye sit at meat, be STILL a moment. For there is greater power in being still before thy God than in much speaking. Again give thanks for the day and its opportunities.
11. And so may ye, as seekers for divine guidance, be uplifted; and thus may ye hasten the day when war will be no more.
12. We are through for the present.
