When I was six years old, my father began to teach me many psalms which I learned by heart, including the twenty-third; he told me these were our shield and buckler for life.

I had been telling a Swiss friend of my longing, when she exclaimed, "This is what you need!" She showed me her copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and a copy of the Quarterly and described her own healing through Science of a cataract.

A few days later I traveled to London, breaking my journey in Edinburgh expressly to buy myself a copy of Science and Health. I arrived at the Christian Science Reading Room just at closing time. It was a Wednesday; but at that time I knew nothing of the testimony meetings held in branch churches on that day. The librarian asked me to go to church with her and her mother, so I did. Once there, I knew I had found the Christ in action now and for always and at all times.
