In a word, that really is what having an article published in the Christian Science periodicals is all about—fulfillment.
But it's not just a sense of personal reward. As a matter of fact, there is hardly any of that. I recall one instance that has taught me some of the requisite humility.
It was before a Wednesday evening meeting in our branch church that a fellow church member called across the edifice, "I see you have an article in the new Journal. I haven't read it, but I'm sure it must be good." I never heard anything further, so I'm not sure whether she ever read it, or if, having read it, she thought it was any good!
