A letter writer in Indianapolis, Indiana, relates the following:
On the very first day of employment in a new position, I was being introduced to fellow employees. My new manager spent the day with me touring company locations. During lunch he told me that he was experiencing some marital problems and a recent separation but that he and his wife were currently back together. He said that they were trying to work things out, but that it wasn't easy.
I told him I had just read an article in a current issue of The Christian Science Journal on settling arguments. I had found it extremely helpful and I offered to make him a copy. However, after lunch we walked to a new business location just across the street from the downtown Christian Science Reading Room. So, while my manager was engaged in some business there, I excused myself and went across the street to purchase that issue of the Journal for him. It was there that I saw the new edition of Science and Health for the first time. I purchased two copies of it—one for myself and one for my new friend. He was nearly incredulous when I told him that I had purchased both items for him. He said, "You mean I get to keep both?" I told him that I wanted him to have them for his library because they had helped me and I was certain that they could help him, too.
