In 1918 I resigned my commission in the regular army and went to work in the East. For various reasons I came home in 1922. My lack of civilian training made it difficult for me to get work. Then I heard of Christian Science. Although I immediately recognized it as the truth, I found no quick solution to unemployment; in fact, matters grew worse.

After eighteen months' earnest study I was at the end of my financial resources. My mother was away from London and knew nothing of my situation. My sister lovingly offered me a home until I got work, but I knew that God could provide my needs without imposing a heavy burden on others. Accordingly I set out one morning to work out this problem. At nightfall I was still seeking work, and at ten o'clock I went to the Thames embankment for want of a better home. A night outdoors seemed inevitable; breakfast was problematical; but I knew that God would see me through.
