In the Bible we read of Jehoiachin (II Kings 25:30): "And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life." This verse and the sentence, "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need," from page 494 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy were a great comfort to me when the breaking up of my home caused me much sorrow.
It became necessary for me to support my two children; and by holding steadfastly to the truths of spiritual supply, which I learned from my study of Science, I secured a position. Each day I had to realize that supply is infinite and not confined to a bank account or to income from employment. By relying on Mrs. Eddy's statement from "Miscellaneous Writings" that "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies" (p. 307), I was able to secure a loan to finance a home, although making a very moderate salary. Divine Love continues to meet our every human need.
When my son was very young, we were visiting in my sister's home in a city quite distant from our home. The morning that we were preparing to return by automobile, the boy climbed up on an iron folding bed which fell over on him, and a deep gash was cut in his face by a piece of the iron bed. Much fear was expressed: and someone made the recommendation that stitches be taken.
