Christian Science came to me in answer to prayer, when my mental outlook was very dark and the religion in which I had been reared seemed inadequate. I asked God for help; I am grateful that in my need I knew that He alone could bring me peace.

Very shortly thereafter I was invited to a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a near-by Christian Science church. I knew nothing whatever about this religion, but I was much impressed by the testimonies. I accepted the sincerity of the speakers, and I knew that they had something of which I was in great need. We began to attend the services, placed our daughter in the Sunday school, and subscribed to The Christian Science Monitor.

Soon I made inquiries about the book which was used with the Bible at all services, and was directed to a Christian Science Reading Room to purchase the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of the movement. I was impressed by the love and patience of the Librarian, who showed me how to study the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, and answered my many questions, always referring me to Mrs. Eddy's writings for my answers. I shall never cease being grateful for her manifest joy in serving.
