No shortage of good
A woman called a Christian Science practitioner to ask him to support her as she prayed for her husband. Her husband taught at a university, and it appeared that one of his classes would not meet the enrollment requirement. He needed a minimum of eight students for the class to go forward and only two had enrolled by the end of the pre-registration period. If the class was cancelled, he would lose a substantial percentage of his income.
The Christian Science practitioner agreed to pray with the woman, noting: “God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for to-morrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment” (Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 307).
A few days later, the professor’s wife called the Christian Science practitioner to report that over 200 students had registered for the course. Multiple class sections had to be offered and additional instructors employed. The idea that had come to the professor was to offer the course online instead of face-to-face. The response to this change was overwhelming.
