Though I never demonstrated Christian Science when attending Sunday School and even though I quit Sunday School during high school, I'd like to express gratitude for the Christian Science Sunday School. It instilled in me a desire to know God.

Due to my not really practicing Christian Science, I couldn't see the relevance of it in the world, and so I turned away from Science. Through four years of college I used drugs and drank liquor. But eventually the desire to know God, implanted years before, broke through and I realized with great despair the emptiness of my way of life.

During this rather depressing period I noticed the wonderful transition my sister was undergoing as she began to grasp again the truths of Christian Science. This gave me a strong shove in the right direction. I picked up my old copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and began to read it from the start. I remember being impressed by the logic of the book, but at that time I made little attempt to live and demonstrate it.
