I first became interested in Christian Science, through my sister asking me to listen to her while she read to me from the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I liked Science because it gave me such a different outlook on life and such blight prospects.

My first healing, with the help of a Christian Science practitioner, was of a form of consumption from which I had suffered since I was three years old and which I feared would bring about my end. The healing was complete, for I have led a normally active life ever since that time, over ten years ago, and I have been able to hold a responsible position.

With deep gratitude I can testify that with the help of Christian Science I have been able to teach myself to read. I knew that God would help me and give me right ideas. I learned the sound of each individual letter so that I could put two and three letters together, until finally I could read. I am grateful that Christian Science is giving me a true education. I was able to attend school for only one year, when I was eight or nine years old, because my childhood and youth were spent in ill-health. It is indeed a great joy to me to be able to read the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and the Christian Science periodicals.
