I became interested in Christian Science...

I became interested in Christian Science when I was a very young child and had the great privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School; also I had the benefit of consecrated teachers, who gave me a firm foundation in the knowledge of Truth and who taught me how to destroy error, not to fear it. Just how much of a privilege it was, I began to realize when living in the Canal Zone.

During the early construction years of the Panama Canal, there were various types of tropical diseases. My mother and I had a severe attack of blackwater fever, called a malignant type of malarial fever. Very few natives or others survived this malady.

Owing to strong medical supervision, it was necessary for us to make a firm decision between reliance on medical means or on Christian Science. As we had always applied our knowledge of Christian Science to all problems, we naturally turned to it. A cable was sent to a Christian Science practitioner who lived in the United States.
