The protagonist of this story had, at an earlier period in his life, a run of bad luck as an installation engineer for a large elevator manufacturing company.men working on jobs under him were constantly being injured despite his care.At last the elevator company discharged him.At the time he had an invalid daughter over twenty who had been bedfast for months.His wife had died a few years earlier and his daughter had kept the house.When he lost his job the times were so hard that he could not find other employment.To make matters worse, he lost his health, one ailment after another sending him to the doctor until he was compelled to remain in bed most of his time.
In desperation he tried Christian Science, faithfully reading the works of the founder and trying in all ways to follow the orders given him.Getting no results, he turned to New Thought, Unity and such other religious movement as had literature on healing.
At last, running out of funds, becoming almost completely bedfast, and quite desperate, he concluded that all religious teachings were imperfect, but that there must be a higher intelligence to which man could appeal if he could only make his appeal heard.With this in mind he spent his time and strength day after day in an endeavor to reach out and find the high intelligence.
One day he suddenly sensed the fact that he had at last contacted something.He felt an electric tingling which was sharp and short, unlike anything he had ever before experienced.Immediately he cried out for help, imploring the Something which he sensed as with him to restore his health.He cried out that he must have help at all costs, and that he was leaving his bed to demonstrate his faith by the effort.Little by little he managed to rise from the side of the bed to his feet, praying continuously.He took one uncertain step, then another.To his joy he found that he was growing miraculously stronger.His prayers turned to praise and in a manner of minutes he seemed to be completely cured and his full strength restored.
Triumphant and thrilled at his discovery, he went to his daughter's room and told her what had happened. He urged her to try to contact the new Something. He tried to contact it again, himself, but seemed unable to do so.
Several days passed. He took up his life where he had left off, and tried almost hourly to repeat the mental processes which had enabled him to contact the Something. Soon, and again with great suddenness and with the same electric tingling, the contact was made. Instantly he began to pray frantically to the Something to heal his daughter. He rushed into her room, still praying, caught her by the hands and began pulling her to her feet. "Use your faith! Get up and show that you can!" The daughter responded, praying fervently and exerting herself to the utmost to leave her bed. As in his case, the needed strength was supplied. She rose, took a step, then another. The miracle of instant healing came to her as it had come to him. Voicing her thanks she dressed and entered a new life of health.
A few days later he again made the electric contact. He had been waiting for it and had his prayer learned by heart. Instantly he voiced it. He asked to have his former job back with the elevator construction company. Confident that his prayer would be answered, he went directly to the company office and to the man who had discharged him months before. Making no explanation of any kind, he said quietly, "I am ready for work again. Where do you need me?" The man behind the desk looked at him intently for a moment, then took from his desk a bundle of papers which he held out to him, naming the city in which the installation job was to be done.
This was the beginning of an unbelievable career. He learned by practice to contact the Something almost at will, and never allowed a morning or evening to pass without the contact. He learned to ask to be shown any danger which lay ahead on the job, and would be warned by a strong sense of danger if there was an emergency coming up. Once having received such a warning, he would make his contact on the job and ask for guidance. Nothing came in words, but he felt urges to act in certain ways. He would find the sense of danger growing until it became almost continuous and, as he went to different parts of his jobs, the danger sense intensified around some particular place. He would station himself there, calling his trusted foreman or others to stand with him, and all would watch to prevent trouble. Accident after accident was thus caught in the nick of time and prevented.
The man had, for a period of several years, been drawing from the company each year a very considerable premium because no men were injured on any job which he supervised. He was given the most difficult and dangerous assignments, and he never failed. His health and that of his daughter had remained excellent.
