Christian Science was presented...

Christian Science was presented to me at a time when I was experiencing a mental upheaval because of my concern regarding the illness of my mother and the results of an unfortunate first marriage. About this time my mother, who was seriously ill, decided to have Christian Science treatment. The practitioner requested that she attend services in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and it fell to my lot to take her, which was done under protest.

However, as f sat there at my first Wednesday evening testimony meeting, I was oblivious of my surroundings until my eyes lit upon three words in gold lettering on the wall behind the Reader on the platform. These three words read "God is Love." Then as I looked round the congregation in the church, I saw a number of men there, and I thought that if a man would come to a place like this and listen to what I was listening to and like it, there must be some good men in the world.

I was instantly healed that first night of all mental turmoil, including bitterness towards the opposite sex, and I have been a student of Christian Science ever since. I was later happily remarried.
