A REQUEST I COULDN'T REFUSE

BY PAMELA B. HUSSEY

PRAYER, MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED by divine Love, cannot fail to bless and heal. I witnessed this years ago when I was living in Kenya.

It was on a Monday afternoon that an office security guard delivered a message to me from an Indian friend of mine who was a fellow Christian Science church member in Nairobi. The message was scrawled on a small piece of paper. It read: "Pamela, my friend's son is dying. Please come and heal him tonight. I will come by for you at 6 p.m."

At first I thought, "I'm not up to this. I can't do this." But on the other hand, how could I refuse such a direct and imploring request? And the very expectation of my friend was sweetly encouraging. He had no doubt that this boy could be restored through prayer—through divine Love's healing power.
