The truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement in Science and Health...

William Groves Myers

The truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement in Science and Health (p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need," has been demonstrated time and again in my journey from sense to Soul. Some time ago I experienced another proof of this. At the time I was twelve hundred miles from home and alone, and this experience prompts my desire to express written gratitude.

The work I was doing required considerable traveling by automobile. On a Saturday I forwarded, as usual, an account of my expenses for the week to the home office of the company by which I was employed, requesting that a check be sent to me to a city about two hundred miles distant, as I anticipated being there the following week.

After attending Sunday morning services the next day, I paid my bill at the hotel and started to drive to the city mentioned. I found then that I had only sufficient funds to purchase five gallons of gasoline, but I made the purchase and started out, keeping constantly in mind the quotation given above. After I had driven about half the distance, the gasoline gauge registered almost empty and the thing we call common sense tried to tell me I could not complete the journey. Another statement of Mrs. Eddy's came to me, "When the destination is desirable, expectation speeds our progress" (ibid., p. 426). Immediately I felt the necessity of taking the necessary material steps toward the procuring of the fuel, so I asked for gasoline at the first station I came to, but could get none. At the second station I decided to apply again, and as I was entering the driveway a gentleman I knew in a business way in my home town, stopped for gasoline. After surprised and cordial greetings I told him of my predicament and he gladly lent me the money for fuel. I continued on my way gratefully and joyfully.
