SABBATH REST
It was on the opening day at one of the theaters in a western city that the writer had the following experience, which may be of help to others. It was a Sabbath day, and he had been to a Christian Science service, where his thought had been lifted into a peaceful contemplation of God's mercies, power, and presence. In the line of his usual occupation he was led to go almost directly to his employment, and to all appearance it was not to be a day of rest for him. On arriving at the scene of his work, he was asked into a room by one of his associates, who was in a state verging on collapse.
"Do something for me," he begged. "I have been up all night,—not drinking, but waiting for a saloon to open. You see my condition. I hate to be humiliated before the others."
The man seemed to be trying vainly to collect himself. A few words were spoken to him in response to his appeal, words quite different in substance from those he was accustomed to hear; but they were words of Truth, and presently their influence was felt and acknowledged. The writer then assured him that he could perform his task that day, and at the moment when the demand was made upon him he was able to meet it without any difficulty. His thanks were sincere and hearty for the help he had received, but the writer felt that he was the one who had been greatly blessed, in the peaceful day brought to him by this proof of the power of a word of Truth spoken when it was needed. This incident was followed by a day of spiritual activity analogous to the great sabbath in God's creation, wherein the six days' labor ends in rest but not in idleness.
