It is my earnest hope that my experience in Christian Science may encourage others who find the road up to the top of the mountain blocked with seeming obstacles, and help them to go on with greater ease and assurance of success.

As a little child I was very lonely and most unhappy. I know now that even then I was seeking to know the truth about God, but I got no spiritual guidance in my home. I was timid, meek, very much afraid of everything and everybody, and as I grew older, took on many more fears. To make matters worse, after finding employment in the medical department of the United States Government and learning of the many diseases that mortal man is heir to, I imagined that I had them all. The fact that as time went on none of these diseases actually manifested themselves did not allay my fears, for I was sure that they would attack me at some later date, and I worried myself into becoming a mental wreck. I seemed to feel, however, that there was a way out if I could only change my thought.

About this time I met a friend who was earnestly studying Christian Science, and to whom I told my troubles. While I had respect for my friend's judgment and was sympathetic about her studying Christian Science, I did not see how I could be helped by it. She gave me a copy of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and I tried to read it, but seemed to get no good out of it.
