In the year 1919 I found Christian Science

Albert Doepkens

In the year 1919 I found Christian Science. Shortly afterwards I was healed of stomach trouble of long standing by reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and applying what I understood of the truth about God and man. Many are the healing benefits and protection my family has enjoyed through the practice of Christian Science since that time.

I should like to mention one instance of God's protection which occurred in the spring of 1945. At that time I was employed in a shipyard. One morning I was among a gang of men boarding a ship in the near-by harbor. In order to get aboard we had to walk on a narrow plank connecting the pier with the ship's rope ladder, which was fastened to the railing of the main deck of the ship and hung down the side of the ship. I had tied a string to my lunch box and hung it over one of my shoulders so that I could have both hands free. My partner walked ahead of me, and while he climbed the ladder I stood on the plank waiting for him to get aboard.
