At a time when the demands upon me seemed more than I could meet; when long-outstanding financial obligations remained unpaid and creditors were pressing; when the young people in our home seemed to be drawn away from Christian Science; and when the duties of each day seemed more than it was possible to rightly care for, it became clear to me that I must have help in Christian Science, and I therefore made an appointment with a Christian Science practitioner, telling her of the situation.

That afternoon I had a much freer sense than I had had for some time, and the awareness of Love's presence was so clear that as I walked from my office toward the subway that evening I knew that I was actually living in Mind. Suddenly I heard a cry for help, and turning I saw an elderly man sitting on a doorstep. I went to him, giving him my hand, and a man came to help him from the other side. Together we assisted him across the sidewalk to the bus stop, where he told us he wanted to take a cross town bus. As the man started to board the bus, however, the driver refused to let him get on unattended. He said that the bus passed the address the man gave as his destination, so I consented to accompany him. It was as though the command came (Isa. 30:21), "This is the way, walk ye in it."

During the ride across town he was full of self-condemnation, and I quietly but audibly reversed the mortal mind suggestions. As we left the bus he turned to me and said, "You believe in God, don't you?" I replied, "Of course; don't you?"
