At the time when I began the study of Christian Science I had been going to a medical doctor twice a week for about a year and a half for treatments for a severe backache which had brought me to the verge of a nervous and physical breakdown. The treatments did me no permanent good; I was considerably under normal weight, and an insurance doctor turned me down during that time as a poor risk for life insurance. With all this I had an unhappy home life, and I suffered so much, mentally and physically, that life did not seem worth living.

I had almost come to the conclusion that there was no hope for me and that there could be no God, since there was so much suffering in the world, when a friend who knew of my poor health asked the Literature Distribution Committee of the Christian Science church which she attended to send me some literature.

Some copies of the Christian Science Sentinel were sent me, and I tried reading articles in them several times, but did not read far because I did not understand them and had no faith that they could help me. However, I felt I should make an effort to read these periodicals because my friend had been kind enough to have them sent to me, and one day I turned to the back of a copy of the Sentinel and found testimonies of healings which were very convincing, and which were perfectly understandable.
