My childhood and young womanhood were filled with much unhappiness. Ill health and deep depression had brought me to despair. Then a concerned friend presented me with a copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

In the textbook the definition of God and the chapter on Prayer established me in my desire to learn more of the Science of being. The definition of God reads (p. 587): "The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence."

Christian Science practitioners and understanding friends helped me a great deal during the early years of my study of Science. I joined a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and although I seemed to be confronted with many problems, I proved many times God's wonderful healing power as taught in Christian Science. I found that the Christ, Truth, understood and lived, is adequate in any emergency.
