At the early age of eight I was dissatisfied with my orthodox Sunday school teacher's inability to answer my questions as to how Jesus healed and why we could not do it in the same way. I wanted to know what our source was, how we happened to be in this world, and what our purpose was. My teacher would say: "You are too young to ask such questions. I do not know the answer, but when you are old enough you will understand."

As the next four years passed by I became more dissatisfied with my family's religion. I could not see how a building that housed so much discord among its attendants could be a church of God. Finally I no longer attended the services and centered my attention on other things.

On the Christmas morning before Christian Science was presented to us my brother was healed of blindness, after many weeks of being unable to see, ashes having got into his eyes. This healing was the result of prayer by our entire family and mostly by our mother.
