A crowded gathering of distinguished scientists had been listening spellbound to the masterly expositions of Michael Faraday. For an hour he had held his brilliant audience enthralled as he demonstrated the nature & properties of the magnet.
He had brought his lecture to a close with an experiment so triumphant that for some time after he resumed his seat, the house rocked with enthusiastic applause.
And then the Prince of Wales... afterwards King Edward VII
rose to propose a motion of congratulation. The resolution, having been duly
seconded, was carried with renewed applause.
Suddenly the uproar ceased & a
strange silence settled over the audience.
The assembly waited for Faraday's reply. But he did not
appear. Only his most intimate friends knew what had become of him. He was an
elder in a little Sandemanian church - a church that never boasted more than 20
members.
The hour at which Faraday concluded his lecture was the hour
of the weeknight prayer meeting.
(Michael Faraday was a British physicist & chemist. His
biggest breakthrough was his invention of the electric motor.)
