She met the friend to whom she was to deliver the message. She opened her mouth to speak it, when her friend said, “So-and-So has left town.” This made it unnecessary to give the message, as the situation depended upon the person being in town.

The student often delays his demonstration through a belief in incompletion. He should make this statement:

“In Divine Mind there is only completion, therefore, my demonstration is completed. My perfect work, my perfect home, my perfect health.”
