Christian Science came to me at a time when I had almost given up hope of receiving answers to many questions I had asked myself ever since I was a small child.

I had been brought up in very strict Protestant surroundings and had read and studied the Bible both at home and at school. Although I loved its beauty and promise, I was disappointed not to find in it any answer to my inquiries, so I looked into various "ologies" and was still more disappointed in them. Then I went to stay with some relations in a village where the clergyman had left his church to become a Christian Scientist. They spoke bitterly about the clergyman's leaving his former religion, and seemed strongly opposed to Christian Science. This aroused my curiosity. I wanted to know what this new religion was which provoked so much opposition. A few days later I made the acquaintance of one who was studying Christian Science, and I went to see her to learn something about it.

Indeed, I can say that "the wrath of man shall praise thee." for from the very first explanation given me, I knew I had found an answer to the questions I had asked myself as to the nature and origion of man and his relation to God.
