I attended a Christian Science Sunday School from early childhood, and joined a local branch church while I was a girl, but then for seven years drifted away from church attendance. I did not rely upon material drugs to heal, but my lack of study of Christian Science resulted in sin, doubt, and fear.

I was confronted with ill-health in several phases, which I believed was inherited and incurable. I requested help from a consecrated practitioner, and the work was begun. This was followed by a slow process of regeneration in me, the new birth spoken of by Jesus (John 3:3). The problems which tested my faith in Truth were weakness, insomnia, overactive kidneys, indigestion, rheumatism, and bad circulation. I was employed in a bank, and I did not have enough strength to do my regular work. I met kindness from my fellow workers and my employer, and my salary was not decreased. After a year or so I felt free to work alone through prayer and study, which now and then was supplemented by help from practitioners.
