Illinois—Place revealed

An officer who had experienced many healings in combat in World War II seemed to be under a cloud of despair and discouragement at his new base. After a testimony meeting one evening the officer talked over his problems with the Christian Science Minister. The thought of place was discussed because the officer said he was being subjected unjustly to some training and experiences he felt he did not need. The officer prayed over the truths given to him by the Minister, which were to the effect that God governs His ideas and that man always is in his right place.

The Minister helped the officer to see that the primary need was not human action, but to establish mentally the spiritual fact that he was secure in divine Mind. After this talk with the Minister the officer told at the next testimony meeting that he and several other officers were called before the head of the department concerned, and appropriate adjustments were made which brought about the sense of harmony all were seeking. The officer spoke joyfully of his gratitude in seeing the inharmonious conditions met not only for himself but for everyone involved.
