From the December 1987 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mrs. Eddy states in No and Yes (p. 35): "When human struggles cease, and mortals yield lovingly to the purpose of divine Love, there will be no more sickness, sorrow, sin, and death."

The time came when I had an opportunity to prove the truth of this statement. While serving a term as First Reader in my branch Church of Christ, Scientist, I found myself one Wednesday morning wrestling with the difficulty of a diminishing voice. I left my office early to avoid speaking and to be able to pray in the quiet of my house. By late afternoon my voice had grown alarmingly weak.

I called the chairman of our executive board to alert him to this situation, and he asked me straightforwardly what I wanted to do. It was clear to me that I was fully prepared for the evening's reading and that I should be and wanted to be at the service. The chairman said he would be ready.
