At 9:30 a.m. the prayers were said. They were the same prayers—Zoroastrian, Moslem, Christian, and The Praise of the Ten Incarnations,"* as which had been uttered on Friday the 17th, with the addition of a prayer to Guru Nanak, spoken by Dr. Daulat Singh in Sikh language. Again, Baba took active part in the prayers. At one time during the prayers, there was an interruption by someone acclaiming Baba, which was instantly checked by Baba.

Baba then said that all were free to disperse and that from 2 o'clock onwards He would call groups and give talks to them, and also give a few private talks. He told the Westerners to go up the Hill and stay there.

The day was cool and cloudy, with a little sun, but no rain. Instructions had been given previously that none of the devotees was to go up the Hill. The crowd of men, over 900, was waiting for Baba at the railroad tracks,
