I shall always be glad that a little neighborhood friend invited me to visit the Christian Science Sunday School with her. That first Sunday the teacher took each verse of the ninety-first Psalm and explained how it could be used in our daily life. Prior to this I had been out of grade school several weeks with a nervous breakdown, and these passages were a comfort to me.

With my parents' consent I continued attending the Sunday School. Through my own study I gained peace of mind. Many small physical problems disappeared, and soon I could run and play with the other children without any sense of tenseness.

During my junior year in high school my father passed on, and the next year it was necessary for me to go to work to help support my mother and younger brother. Although it was during the years of the depression, I was able to obtain employment with a fine firm which had not hired any woman in a certain department for six years. With the help of my Sunday School teacher and consecrated study, I gained self-confidence in taking on these responsibilities.
