The Newcomer to Christian Science

VIRGINIA REA SINK

Recently I was asked, "What impressed you most about Christian Science when you were a newcomer to it?"

The earliest thing I remember about Christian Science is the Bible verse I saw inscribed on the wall of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, at the first Christian Science service I ever attended. It was the loving call of Christ Jesus, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."^{Matt. 11:28;}

I was a young girl at the time. I had attended the Sunday School of another denomination since nursery days, and was familiar with the Bible and its story of the life and work of Christ Jesus. I had no desire to change my church. I didn't even want to be in the church I was attending that day. But I was there to please my mother—to keep a promise I had made her to attend a Christian Science church service.
