The most important event

Clifford Kapps Eriksen

It was a special day for Paul, his graduation from elementary school. There was so much to think about—the speech he had to give, marching and singing with his class, what prizes would be awarded, lunch at a restaurant with his parents and family friends. Most of all, Paul was thinking about the big party one of his classmates was giving that evening.

At first everything went just right. He didn't make any mistakes in his speech, and the lunch was fun. But by the time he got to the party, Paul could hardly remember the good part of the day because his head hurt and he felt sick.

One of the things Paul did if there was trouble of any sort was to pray. Instead of just accepting sickness as something you had to put up with, he had learned in the Christian Science Sunday School to try to get a better understanding of the way God takes care of everything. So Paul decided to go into another room where he could be alone.
