Love Supplies all our Needs

Louis Helm

After reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" for some few months I saw that I must stop hating. At that time my sense of hate was centred on one who had been with me in a mining enterprise and who caused me to lose a large sum of money. By meeting the thought of hate with love every time it presented itself it was finally utterly destroyed in my own consciousness. About that time in my efforts to be established as a Christian Science practitioner, our finances became very low, and with nothing in sight from which to replenish our stock of needful things. With the cupboard about empty and the rent almost due error screamed louder and louder, and the greater the lack seemed to be the harder my wife and I worked to meet it with Truth, but seemingly without success. When our cash on hand got down to thirty cents, with rent due and no sign of an income, there seemed to be but one thing to do and we did it. We sold our household goods and went to boarding.

I then looked for material work, but still held in thought that I had God's plenty and would demonstrate it. I could find nothing to do but to solicit orders for a coal firm, and that did not bring much income. Going about in this work I went to the gentleman above mentioned to get an order from him. At this meeting (though we had stormy ones before) there was not a sign of that old evil—hate—present. Meeting him again the following day he requested that I join him and his partner in their business. The thought of becoming his partner had never occurred to me. The proposition was that I was to put in no money and get one third of the profits of the concern, to which I agreed, and with the result that the past eighteen months I have had our living expenses out of the business, and on December 8 last received thirty-five hundred dollars cash as my share of profits.

"Divine Love always has met, and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, by Mary Baker G. Eddy, p. 490). Love never fails those that trust and look to Love for help, wisdom, and guidance.
