I have read the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals for many years and have received much help and inspiration from them. As a child I loved to read the Bible. I attended Sunday School and services in an orthodox church. But I came away feeling disappointed because I had learned nothing about how to do the healing works of Christ Jesus, who was sent here to show us how to heal. As I grew older and my work took me to large cities, I attended church services of many different denominations, but with no uplifting results, and God seemed far away.

A friend who was interested in Christian Science gave me some literature to read, and another friend who had been a Christian Scientist for many years gave me a copy of Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.

I attended services in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and Christian Science lectures, but my family were antagonistic toward this religion; so I did not get interested in studying it. Then a brother passed on after much suffering. I saw then that there must be some other way and that Christian Science was that way. From that time on I took up the study of Christian Science seriously and soon joined The Mother Church and later a branch church.
