I am extremely grateful that I had the privilege of learning about Christian Science when I was a young girl. At that time I prayed daily that God might lead me to those who could give me a spiritual—a clear—concept of Him and His creation. My prayer was heard, for, quite evidently through God's guidance, I went to Berlin to care for an aunt, a Christian Scientist, who at the time was paralyzed.

I was then living in Latvia. Like many others after the First World War, I had to wait a long time before I received permission to travel to Germany. However, I refused to be discouraged. I believed that if it was God's will that I receive enlightenment in Berlin, through His guidance I would get there. And that is the way it was.

It was through my aunt that I learned of Christian Science. After I had read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy from cover to cover, I was convinced that this Science is the Comforter which will guide us to Truth. It was a great joy to be able to attend a Christian Science Sunday School for three months before my twentieth birthday.
