I shall always be grateful that soon after my father found Christian Science he asked my mother to read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and to attend the services in a Church of Christ, Scientist, with him, which she did.

Later, while I was an infant, my mother was faced with the decision either of having me operated on for a severe case of mastoiditis or of relying wholly upon Christian Science. With the prayerful treatment of a Christian Science practitioner, my mother was able to surrender a false fearful sense of motherhood and to trust her new understanding of the nature of God sufficiently to place me completely in the care of my Father-Mother God. Within the hour I recovered from a semiconscious state and was permanently healed of the mastoid condition.

Thus our whole family was launched as students of this wonderful religion. Its study and application has been a constant companion and source of joy to me throughout many years. I treasure seventeen years as a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School, membership in The Mother Church since the age of twelve, and membership in branch churches since the age of sixteen.
