The el ier’s wife was seriously 111, and the doctor advised rest and quiet. But the lady was very devoted to church work and worried herself Into hysteria because she coqld not attend services and hear her favorite pastor preach. "She must not leave the house,” the doctor warned, “but you can easily arrange to have her hear the sermon by telephone.” The elder grasped the suggestion and made the necessary arrangements for transmitting the sermon into his wife’s room.
