I learned of Christian Science while living in the home of a friend whose daughter, who was later to become my wife, was suffering from an internal complaint. The family doctor had told her that he could do no more for her and that even an operation might not help. She lay in a darkened room most of the time.

One day when the pain was more intense and her prayers more sincere, the words "Christian Science" came vividly to her thought. As a result, a practitioner was brought to the home and for two hours expounded Christian Science.

She dwelt particularly on the synonyms for God, elaborating on that of Mind. She explained that divine Mind, the creator, because of its mental nature could create only ideas, or thoughts; that man is a compound idea, made up of all right ideas, and that every one of these ideas lives, moves, and has its every activity in Mind by reflection.
