After spending many years as a medical and surgical nurse, I found Christian Science through an advertisement of Christian Science churches in a London newspaper. A friend and I attended a branch church. I wanted to know more. I visited a Christian Science Reading Room and after reading in a copy of The Christian Science Journal that sin, sickness, disease, and death are unreal, I saw that I had been believing that all these were real and could not be healed. I was wonderfully uplifted and walked out of that Reading Room with a new sense that God's law is the only law and that heaven, harmony, is here and now.

I was so strongly convinced of this truth that even in the sickroom I refused to accept any presence other than the presence of God's law of harmony. I did not give Christian Science treatment—in fact I did not know how—but some of the patients who had been given up by doctors got well.

I became a member of The Mother Church and later nursed patients in Christian Science. I had worn glasses for everything and later found I could see the smallest print without them.
