Although professing to be a Christian and striving to be kind and charitable, there was a time in my life when I ridiculed Christian Science. In November, 1918, when away from home and loved ones, in a way not planned by myself I was led to make my home with a Christian Scientist, and in just a week I was quickly healed through Christian Science of Spanish influenza, which I had greatly feared.

I shall never forget that, the evening I left my office unable to work any longer, I was warned that I was staying in the home of a Christian Scientist and it might be well for me not to go there but to a sanitarium. As I had taken every preventive medicine that I thought good to ward off this sickness, and had had several prescriptions from kind doctors, but had not received any benefit, this caution somewhat aroused my thought, and I went home to the Scientist.

The atmosphere of this home was different from any I had been in. There seemed to be something there which appealed to me. At my request the kind lady of this home explained something of Christian Science to me and gave me the Bible, opened at the ninety-first psalm. She told me to read it and to place myself in God's care. I read this chapter several times, and immediately my sense of fear was dispelled. I felt such a sense of security that I went to sleep, rested well that night, and awoke the next morning well, with the exception of a slight hoarseness, which was overcome in the next two days. Needless to say, I took up the study of Christian Science with an unprejudiced mind, and have been wonderfully blessed, guided, and protected in the years that have followed.
