One day my mother was in a public office when a literature distribution worker from a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, came in and placed some literature in a distribution box. My mother began talking with the woman and in the course of the conversation asked her if she thought I could be healed of asthma. The reply was, "Yes, I am certain of it."'

The worker took our name and address and sent us from time to time some Christian Science literature and lecture invitations, but at that time we did not put forth much effort to gain more understanding of God. Several years later I met a young man who was a Christian Scientist. He gave me a copy of the textbook, Science and Health, and I began to attend church with him.

I decided to visit a Christian Science practitioner. She was so kind and understanding that I began to pour out my troubles to her. She did not say a great deal, and I do not remember much of what she said except that she told me to study the first sentence of the Preface to Science and Health, which reads (p vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."
