Editing Edgar Cayce (section)

====Research library====
Cayce's son Hugh Lynn proposed that they develop a library of research into the phenomena exhibited by his father and sponsor study groups, with Cayce doing two readings a day. The association accepted this, and Hugh Lynn began publishing a monthly bulletin for association members. The bulletin contained readings on general-interest subjects, interesting cases, book reviews on psychic subjects, health hints from readings, and news about psychic phenomena in other fields.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|pages=324–328}}

Hugh Lynn continued to build files of case histories, parallel studies in psychic phenomena, and research readings for the study groups.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|page=343}}

Association activities remained simple. Members raised funds for an office, library and vault, which they added to the Cayce residence in 1940–41.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|pages=46–347}}  Association membership averaged 500 to 600, with the annual turnover about 50 percent. The other half was a solid basis for research, an audience for case studies, pamphlets, and bulletins, including the congress bulletin, which was a yearbook and record of congress events. A mailing list of several thousand served people who remained interested in Cayce's activities.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|pages=346–347}}
  
Members were drawn from a wide variety of Christian denominations, theosophy, Christian Science, and [[Spiritualism (movement)|Spiritualism]]. A.R.E. did not oppose any religious organization.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|pages=348–350}}
  
Both sons served in the military during [[World War II]], and both married: Hugh Lynn in 1941, and Edgar Evans in 1942.{{sfn|Sugrue|2003|page=350}}
