The woman who handles the advertising for our Christian Science radio programs in the local newspaper invited me to a prayer luncheon. I was told that those attending would probably ask me some questions about Christian Science, so I promptly accepted.
We had a nice lunch and general conversation, plus their usual prayer circle—but no one asked me a single question about Christian Science. I felt really disappointed! But after several hours of feeling sorry for myself, I saw that this was not the way of Truth, and I started to thank God that there were people in this world who took the time to meet together once a week to talk about God and to pray for others. I appreciated their kindness and effort. I really did want to give talks on Christian Science (I am an Assistant Committee on Publication) and told God I would be ready when He felt He wanted me to.
Over a week went by, and one morning I was sitting on my porch, reading and praying to overcome a problem I had been having with one of my eyes. The words came to me "The wide horizon's grander view." I know the words of this hymn (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 218) like the back of my hand. As I reviewed these words, they confirmed the rightness of my desire to share Christian Science with others. I became so inspired praying along the lines of this hymn that I completely forgot about my eye. After a while I realized it was healed!
