What a joy it was not only to hear but to "view" the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church on my computer. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am grateful for the technology that is available to most of us. Just last month, I "enhanced" my computer, and because I did, the sound and the picture came through beautifully. The July Journal, with its report on the meeting, has given me further food for thought.

I have been troubled about war—war in so many places. I couldn't really understand it all. I didn't seem to know how to pray about it until I read Paul Stark Seeley's article "Stand in the holy place," which was written in the 1940s and republished in the May Journal. It says, "Mortal mind, feeling its inadequacy ... impels its mortal puppet personalities with greed, fear, self-will, hatred, to set upon their fellow mortals ... what can evil purposes ever do? Destroy themselves. ... The subtlety of evil is ... thwarted by the strategy of God." I have read the article many times to understand its message. I am grateful for today's Journal writers, too, who share their enlightenment with those of us who need it.
