When I think of the many blessings that have come to me over a period of sixty years, I recall my introduction to the Christian Science textbook. Stopping to see a friend, I saw a little black book on the table and picked it up. Reading the title, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, I asked my friend if I could take it home with me and read it. She consented.
I became so absorbed in the spiritual truths I was beginning to understand, I was healed of three chronic illnesses—a form of catarrh, hemorrhoids, and tonsillitis. Though there were Christian Science practitioners in the town, I did not feel the need of calling one. I depended on the truths I was learning in the book. In the meantime, I had purchased a copy of my own and was attending Christian Science church services.
After getting my letter of dismissal from the other church I had attended for several years, I joined the Christian Science Society. Later, when we moved to the city, I became an active church worker and also joined The Mother Church.
