When I first learned of Christian Science...

Josephine Pohle

When I first learned of Christian Science in February, 1933, I was in a very low state of mind. I had always considered that I did not amount to much and thought that I could never have anything in this world.

I was sitting by my window, despairingly contemplating my situation, when I picked up a Sentinel, which my mother, who was visiting us at the time, must have picked up from a literature distribution box. I opened it and read the first paragraph, which contained a sentence to the effect that man is God's image and likeness, perfect and eternal. This was a revelation to me. I had never read anything like that before. In that instant I was so uplifted I could see and understand that statement to include all mankind, even me. I saw everything quite differently from that time on.

I purchased the textbook by Mrs. Eddy and read it from cover to cover. Everything I read was what I felt I had always wanted. Everyone in my family and at the office where I worked noticed a big difference in my attitude after that. I felt as though I were walking on air.
