In December, 1936, I found myself at the termination of a partnership, entirely on my own, and with no visible source of supply. All I had was sales ability and excellent connections throughout the province of British Columbia, Canada, with the retail trade in ladies' ready-to-wear clothing.
I was a very new student of Christian Science at that time, and my understanding of it was summed up in this statement of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 494): "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." I had great faith in this statement.
Since I needed agencies of ready-to-wear clothing to start in business for myself, I decided to go to eastern Canada in search of suitable firms to represent in British Columbia. I knew no one personally in the East, but divine Love led me in all I did, and I returned to British Columbia with exactly the type of agencies I had been looking for. Three of these agencies I retained intact for fifteen years.
