A talk by a doctor.
How other people live is a theme that always intrigues us. Especially we like to know how ordinary people achieve super-human tasks. Many of these tasks are done, we know, in an atmosphere of prayer. It is particularly so in the medical profession because one of Christ's commands was to 'heal the sick.' They are done with the sense of His commission and in the power of His Presence.
It was easy to find people in the medical profession who feel that way about their calling. It was not quite so easy to persuade them to talk about it—until they were reminded that they could speak anonymously—and that what they believe might help many people. So this week we shall hear a doctor, a medical missionary and a medical student; the matron of a great London hospital; a night sister at a hospital, and a student nurse at a children's hospital.
(The Rev. Elsie Chamberlain)

'Down Toad went, under the water, and came up breathless and spluttering. Presently he saw that he was approaching a big dark hole in the bank, just above his head, and as the stream bore him past, he reached up with a paw, caught hold of the edge and held on. Then slowly and with difficulty he drew himself up out of the water, till at last he was able to rest his elbows on the edge of the hole As he sighed and blew and stared before him into the dark hole, some bright small thing shone and twinkled in its depths, moving towards him. As it approached, a face grew up gradually around it, and it was a familiar face! Brown and small, with whiskers. Grave and round, with neat ears and silky hair. It was the Water-Rat'
