The realization that merely human planning has no part in God's ever-present law of adjustment is a humbling and vital thought. This realization came to me most clearly while I was marooned in a hotel having neither electricity nor water during the flood in Florence, Italy, on November 4, 1966.

Our student group consisting of all Christian Scientists first experienced wonderful protection through reliance on God's law of adjustment when all thirty-three of us, with seventy-two bags, safely evacuated the first hotel in which we were staying. We moved on foot to a hotel on higher ground without any inharmony only one half hour before the streets filled with the ferocious water.
