It was about the year 1933 that I became acquainted with Christian Science. At that time everything was gloomy and dark about me; I was without hope, suffering from stomach trouble. I felt that I was already standing at the edge of the grave. I had applied all conceivable material remedies, but nothing was successful. I had spent thirteen years in ill health, and I no longer had the courage to go on living.

Then one of my friends told me about Christian Science. I looked up a practitioner and told him of my troubles. The practitioner told me that suffering has no reality, for God is the only creator and He has made man in His image and likeness, altogether good and faultless. Man cannot express any sickness or any pain, for in the kingdom of Love there is no room for these errors. God fills all space and therefore no error can exist.

The practitioner gave me a copy of The Herald of Christian Science (German Edition), and then I went home. My consciousness had already been changed, and I knew that God is our Father and our Mother and also the only physician.
