More recently when visiting with one who had been close to our Leader and who later became a president of this beloved Mother Church, I asked her why she thought that we as tiny children felt such a great desire to be in Mrs. Eddy's presence each time the opportunity was offered.

"Undoubtedly," she responded, "you were seen in your right relation to Deity each time our Leader passed and in response felt overwhelmingly the great attraction of Spirit. Is it any wonder that you wanted to be present?"
