It was during the First World War that I became interested in Christian Science. When I was called into the armed services, I had my wife and two children to support, and I was fearful that I might not return to take care of them.

While I was stationed at Aldershot, the librarian of the Christian Science Reading Room there helped me to overcome my fears during my training, and I am ever grateful to her for her helpful encouragement.

I was eventually sent to Italy, and at this time I was presented with a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The study of this textbook taught me that God is indeed my refuge and strength; and I am grateful that because of the protection afforded me by this understanding, I returned home safely after the cessation of hostilities.
