Since my girlhood I have loved and studied the Bible, and as far as I understood the teachings of Jesus have endeavored to put them into practice, even to leaving dear ones and going to a foreign country to tell the good news to those who had never heard of God as Love. There was a great deal in the Bible I could not understand, but I left these subjects alone, supposing they would be made clear to me after I had passed through the change called death. After leaving China and while leading a very different kind of life, my love for the Bible grew less, and prayer was nealry given up, but although surrounded even in my own home by those who denied the existence of God, and hearing members of my family argue that the materialistic theory was the only right one, I still clung to the teaching of my early days.

While living in this environment I was taken ill. I lost my voice for weeks, and then another trouble manifested itself. "In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me." A friend sent me a Christian Science Journal, which I read and reread, until I was no longer nervous and fearful, and I knew that I was healed. I saw that the teachings of Christian Science are based on the Bible, and that I had found the truth which makes free. I borrowed "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, read it and, like many others, laid it aside only to take it up again. I said Christian Science must be all to me, and I have used no material remedies since that time. I laid aside my glasses a few weeks later. A practitioner lovingly helped me, and since then, in spite of many seeming difficulties, the way has grown brighter each day. Divine Love has met my every need. I have had several healings. I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and for class instruction. Truly God is good, and my desire is to show my gratitude by my life, by knowing, and helping others to know, the whole truth and to understand God as divine Principle, Love.
