Christian Science came to me with the healing of my mother when I was eight years old. Her father and a number of his relatives had passed on around the age of thirty with what was then called quick consumption. My mother was stricken at the same age with that disease. Doctors predicted she only had a month to live, when Christian Science was presented to her. Within that month she was completely restored to health and returned to an active life.

My parents had rejected the traditional religious beliefs of their times. Upon seeing my mother well, my father exclaimed, "This is the religion we have been waiting for."

The family accepted Christian Science wholeheartedly and joined the small local group of Christian Scientists. My parents joined The Mother Church, were class taught, and within a year my mother's name was in The Christian Science Journal as a Christian Science practitioner. Later she became a teacher of Christian Science. She lived to eighty-four years as an active worker.
