On page 574 of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy has written, "The very circumstance, which your suffering sense deems wrathful and afflictive, Love can make an angel entertained unawares." I have experienced the truth of this statement and its application in a business problem. About three years ago, owing to business conditions, I was asked to leave a position in which I had served faithfully for quite a number of years. I had had no special training, and it looked as though I would have to start over again at a very much reduced salary. Since there was a household of five to maintain, the circumstance surely seemed "wrathful and afflictive." There was a profession I wished to follow, but it seemed humanly impossible to start a professional career and at the same time maintain the household.

A Christian Science noonday lecture, given a few years previous, the subject of which was Jesus' instruction, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness," had left a lasting impression in my thought, and with the help of a kind practitioner an effort was made to seek "first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness," and to realize that divine Mind always cares for His ideas. That there was an angel being entertained is evidenced by the result, because the practice in the desired profession is now firmly established, meaning not only a larger financial return, but much happier employment. There has been no lack of employment, nor has any need of the household not been met.

Christian Science has also been the means of healing many physical conditions for my family and me. Glasses have been discarded after fifteen years of constant use, and headaches and indigestion which were once very frequent have been overcome. The first healing experienced was the relieving of pain caused by an abscessed ear.
