Financial problems first faced me when I tried to enter college in September, 1966. Registration would be allowed only if I could contact the right person at the right time to obtain a tuition waiver. During registration day contact with the registrar seemed impossible. I had asked for prayerful support from a Christian Science practitioner earlier in the day.

When all attempts to make contact seemed futile, I headed toward the parking lot to return home in despair. Before I reached my car, a still small voice told me to turn back. I obeyed and reentered the registration room and reached the ever busy registrar at an exact and appropriate moment. An ex-serviceman, like myself, was asking for a tuition waiver under the same circumstances as my own. Our two waivers were granted on the spot.

When I told the registrar I would pay on a certain date, I knew not where I would get the money. A local bank was hesitant about granting me a loan, but with further metaphysical help from the same practitioner my doubts were removed and the loan was granted just in time.
