For God's ever-presence and everlasting care, I am truly thankful. For Christ Jesus, for our revered Leader, for the Church of Christ, Scientist, and for Mrs. Eddy's guidance in our demonstration of man's eternal freedom, I am continually grateful.

Sometime ago I found myself in a very strange position. I discovered that I would have to accompany another person, of higher position, on a business trip into the interior of India. I also found out that this person intended to violate the laws of both India and the United States by taking arms in the car and hunting from it on the way back.

In trying to solve this problem by human will, I brought down wrath upon my head and a violent argument followed. During a rather fitful, sleepless night in which fear in many forms ran rampant, I was suddenly seized with violent pain and a fear of passing on. As mental darkness closed in, the only words I could recall were these (I John 4:16): "God is love." With the morning's sun I awoke to a lack of mobility accompanied by intense pain, but also with a reassuring consciousness that I still lived and that God was with me.
