"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isa. 45:22). These words hung on the wall of my home but seemed very far from true in a family where sickness rather than health was usually the rule. Then Christian Science was presented to my mother, and I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School. This Biblical promise became a promise fulfilled. Since that time Christian Science has blessed my life. There have been numerous physical healings, grief has been overcome, and there has been a continuing unfoldment of good in my experience.

For years there was need for an internal adjustment, and although from time to time through my own prayerful work there was improvement, there was no complete healing.

In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes (p. 420): "If students do not readily heal themselves, they should early call an experienced Christian Scientist to aid them. If they are unwilling to do this for themselves, they need only to know that error cannot produce this unnatural reluctance." Over a period of months of prayerful work these words repeatedly came to my thought. One morning I made an appointment with a Christian Science practitioner, who lovingly perceived my need. I had reached the point in my thinking where, although physical healing was needed, I wanted a renewal of spirit, a deeper understanding of God as revealed through Christian Science.
