Some years ago I went to a city in the middle West to take charge of a department in one of the large stores there. The department was said to be running down, and I soon realized that discord among the employees was the main cause. My arrival only aggravated this trouble, and my employers advised that I discharge some of the employees—all, if necessary—and begin anew. But this did not seem right, as many of them had worked there faithfully from fifteen to twenty-five years.
At the family hotel where I was living, I had become attached to a woman who was a Christian Scientist. We shared the same table in the dining-room, and one evening after a very discouraging day I told her my troubles. She was so verykind and sympathetic that when she advised me to have help in Christian Science I was at once interested. The next day things seemed to come to a climax, and I felt I must get help somewhere or give up and come back East. I left the store in the middle of the rush hours and sought a practitioner, and in my first brief interview with her she pointed me to the light of divine Love which has been to me a guiding star ever since. I went to her several times, with the result that my troubles were overcome and the business cares that had always weighed so heavily on me became a pleasure. When I married a year later and came East, it was with deep regret that I left my work and the dear friends in that city.
