Our little church soldiers on, expressing Love and Truth, and has been blessed in its work. About four months ago, a woman showed up at the Wednesday evening meeting and said she had been thinking about quantum mechanics, and that led her to Christian Science!

I did a good amount of reading and praying about church organization as this was going on. Mrs. Eddy’s definition of Church in part, “The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle…” helped me reclaim my equanimity, as did the fact that I was serving as Second Reader at the time. (S&H, p. 583)

Finally one night the husband came home and asked what was for dinner and the wife said, “Nothing. There’s nothing left.” The husband was startled. The wife had been trying to keep the bleak status of things from him. The same night during a phone conversation a friend (as a piece of trivia) mentioned that Mabel was back in town. She was sober and had a new religion. After the phone conversation the husband said he’d like to find out about “that religion.”
