| The great scientist, Michael Faraday (1791-1867), reputed to be the father of modern electronics, was lecturing to a large audience in London. After the applause had subsided, the Prince of Wales arose and proposed a motion of appreciation and congratulation to the lecturer. But when they looked around to find him, they found that he had already left the hall immediately after concluding his lecture. Only his closest friends knew where he had gone, and that the hour of the weekly prayer meeting had arrived. He had always maintained that he could not afford to miss the prayer meeting. This was the man believed by many to have had the most massive intellect that ever existed in the world. |
