Being one of the six children of a French Baptist minister, I was respectful of my father's opinions and very prejudiced against Christian Science. When I went to America, I took with me the mission to detect all faults and collect all arguments against that new doctrine. I am glad to say that I never registered anything worth while remembering. I only very sarcastically looked at The Mother Church as a temple of a "new American craze" which was bound to fail.

Shortly after I came back to Paris, a dear member of our family passed on with influenza. During my absence, my eldest sister, who had been interested in Christian Science for some years, and who had learned English for the purpose of reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (before it was translated into French), had started to demonstrate the truth. The attitude of my sister, in what I considered a big catastrophe, amazed me by its calm and peace. She was realizing God's allness, and that nothing real was being taken away from us. Her conduct, together with the help of a Christian Scientist friend living with us, induced me to investigate this wonderful Science, and at once I became deeply interested in it. Since then, God's goodness has been so wonderful that I have been showered with blessings. I am thankful also for the wonderful sense of divine protection which I have received from Christian Science.
