Shortly after taking up the study of Christian Science, I was discharged from my position on a newspaper, and with a young wife to care for and little hope of employment, because I had few acquaintances and because "times were bad," I had to turn to God.
"He shall call upon me, and I will answer him I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him," was very real to me then, and it came about that I was not only reinstated on the same paper, but was given a better position and larger salary.
Later, when a comrade was discharged, and came to Christian Science for help, the realization of this former lesson and the knowledge that he never could be moved from his place in divine Mind, brought out the fact that God is an ever-present help in time of need; for the editor changed his mind and the man is still in his position with no thought of leaving it from any other reason than choice, for he has been offered a position of high trust by a coal company, and expects to accept it.
