The Christian Science textbook...

Frances Kaufman

The Christian Science textbook has been in my home as long as I can remember. While it was read by a member of my family and its teachings often were used in time of trouble, I did not study it wholeheartedly and apply the truth consistently until after I had grown to young womanhood.

As a small child I had always loved the Bible and learned about it from the numerous Sunday Schools and churches I attended. For this early religious education I am grateful. At various times I felt a desire to join a church, but my mother cautioned me to wait until I was sure of my choice.

Shortly after I left school and entered the business world I became aware that I could not depend upon mere human knowledge or ability to carry me through if I was to make a success of the work that was necessary for me to do. About this time we had moved to another town, and some friends invited us to attend church. I recall quite clearly that first time when I walked into a Christian Science church. When I looked upon the wall and read, "God is love" (I John 4:8), and heard the Lesson-Sermon from the desk, I was filled with a deep desire to know more about this religion. Something seemed to say to me, "This is the way, walk ye in it" (Isa. 30:21), and truly it has been the way for me ever since.
