The following passage was used to open business meeting on 9/11:

Lucy E. Harris (1873-1962) became a doctor and went to practice medicine in China. No situation daunted her…. Her utter fearlessness in dealing with difficulties sprung from her deep faith in God; not a cozy belief that nothing dangerous would happen to her, but a firm belief that in whatever did happen she would have the presence of God with her….

She once encountered two warlords with their followers lined up on each side of a river. Lucy, a tiny, slightly built woman possessing a firm, strong, clear voice, stood in a boat in the middle of the river, shouting to them, insisting they stop their fighting and go their separate ways. They turned themselves about and went.
